2010 Praxis Viognier
Current Vintage
We have been making Viognier for a decade. Bill loves the body and flavors of this white wine – and prefers to make it in a more European style. Our Viognier is crisp, dry and full bodied with a lingering finish of ripe fruit. To retain the purest expression of the grapes, the wine was fermented in stainless steel.
The wine’s color is pale straw with green highlights while the aroma carries melon, honeysuckle, vanilla and pineapple. These flavors are also repeated on the palate. Green apple and lychee notes are accented with hints of pear and guava as well.

2007 Praxis Merlot
Current Vintage
The grapes for this wine come from a vineyard on a rise in the heart of Alexander Valley – the same vineyard that garnered our 2004 Merlot the title of Best American Merlot Under $20 in Food & Wine Magazine (October, 2007) and praise for our 2006 Merlot as “Merlot before it was mass produced…lip-smacking velvety, with a little complexity and guts.” Woodbury Magazine (Fall 2009)
The color is a deep red with purple highlights. The nose offers vanilla, black cherry and plum, with warm spices and dry herbs. The wine is sleek and elegant with good acidity and full mouthfeel. Flavors of strawberry, blackberry, pomegrante and cassis are complemented by vanilla and spice. The wine has a long finish with soft tannins and toasty oak

2008 Praxis Pinot Noir Monterey
Current Vintage
Pinot Noir was the first wine we made under the Praxis label. Praxis is derived from the Greek word for practice as a doctor or lawyer practices their craft. Praxis was also a pre-Arts and Crafts philosophy espousing the importance of striving for perfection while knowing that it will never be fully achieved. Since launching the label, we have also found that it is a moon of the Klingon home planet on Star Trek and a verb for domination in an on-line vampire game.

2007 Praxis Lagrein
Current Vintage
“Bright violet red to purple hue. The nose is dense with flowers and berries… the palate is fresh and vibrant with the flavors of fresh crushed blueberry, raspberry and cherry with accents of vanilla and cocoa. Ideal balance of crisp acidity with enough tannins to offer structure. Beyond a novelty varietal wine, this classy red offers great hedonistic pleasure, versatile food pairing, and style. Bravo!” BevX.com Dec 2009
