THE CUBE PROJECT Three Winemakers, Three Vineyards, Nine Wines An Experiment in Terroir with Anne Amie (Oregon) Bouchaine (Carneros) and Lincourt (Sta Rita Hills) 1. Each winery will decide which block of theirs to pick. The block will have to be at least 6-tons in size. Each 6-ton lot will be divided into thirds, with each of the three winemakers fermenting 2 tons of fruit. 2. Each winemaker will be responsible for the picking decisions at their own winery; therefore each of the 3 wines made at that particular lot will start with the same footing. 3. Each winery will produce 120 cases of each vineyard 4. This experiment is about community, terroir and creative expression for the winemaker. It is a unique opportunity to see their home vineyard through someone elses eyes.

ACCOLADES Courtneys Chardonnay 89 Points – Wine Enthusiast 2010 Courtneys Chardonnay Great acidity on this wine, with a squirt of lime juice giving it needed zest. The wine itself is simple, lush and fruity, with peach and pineapple flavors. – June Points – Wine Enthusiast 2009 Courtneys Chardonnay A fine Chardonnay, creamy, flavorful and complex. Its as soft as buttercream, yet a vital streak of acidity brightens the tropical fruit and vanilla richness. Showcases the Santa Rita Hills in a good, cool vintage. – Steve Heimoff, March Points – Jamessuckling.com 2009 Courtneys Chardonnay This is intensely fruity with a cream and lightly milky note. Full and fruity with some bright acidity and a fruity finish. Drink now. - December Points – Wine & Spirits 2010 Courtneys Chardonnay Text Available August 2013

ACCOLADES CONT. Lindsays Pinot Noir 90 Points – Connoisseurs Guide 2010 Lindsays Pinot Noir Here is a direct, deeply fruited look at Pinot Noir that keeps oak and ripeness under careful control, but it is also a wine of real richness and polish that speaks with a quiet but very confident varietal voice. It is medium-full-bodied and shows a bit of the velvety texture that only good Pinot can, and it achieves a fine balance of refinement and richness that makes it age-worthy and yet wholly charming right now. – June Points – Jamessuckling.com 2009 Lindsays Pinot Noir Beautiful blackberry and lightly toasted oak on the nose and palate. Turns to spices and meat. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a long finish. Balanced and pretty. Drink now or hold. - December Stars – Restaurant Wine 2009 Lindsays Pinot Noir Exceptional: fleshy in texture and complex in character (cherry, kola nut, blueberry, toast, and spicy oak); a well balanced wine with a very long finish. Great value.

ACCOLADES CONT Steel Chardonnay 92 Points & Best Buy – Wine & Spirits This is cool, intense, acid-driven chardonnay. Unimpeded by oak or malolactic fermentation, the fruit has the tangy cut of a pineapple on the edge of ripeness, while still holding plenty of concentration thanks to the notably long hang time of The saline minerality of Lincourts two wind- battered Santa Rita Hills vineyards is on full display, and its also a steal – an honest, terroir-driven wine for under $20. Buy a case and drink it over the next several years with seafood. – December Points – The Tasting Panel Magazine Juicy, fresh and tangy with nectarine and racy acidity; bright, lively and zesty with balance, modern style and a long finish. –October Stars – Restaurant Wine Steel emphasizes fresh, vibrant Chardonnay character. It is youthful, crisp, and ripely flavored, with a very long finish. In aroma/flavor, it tastes of pineapple, lemon peel, peach, and lime. – December 2012

ACCOLADES CONT. 88 Points, Editors Choice – Wine Enthusiast 2010 Sauvignon Blanc Acidity marks this wine, giving the grapefruit, lemon and vanilla bean flavors a mouthwatering tingliness. Its formally dry, yet the richness of fruit gives it a honeyed finish. Good job. – Steve Heimoff, March Points – Jamessuckling.com 2010 Unoaked Chardonnay Minerally wine with white pepper and fennel character. Medium body, with fresh acidity and a bright, clean finish. No oak. Drink now. - December 2011
