Contagious
2016 Chardonnay | San Saba Vineyard
Our Contagious Single Vineyard chardonnay hails from the San Saba Vineyard, which is set in a sheltered nook just below California’s renowned Santa Lucia mountain range in the Monterey appellation. The unique soil and sustainable practices of this vineyard result in a chardonnay of lush fruit, balanced with French oak, acidity, and a tinge of minerality. Aged 9 months in 20% new French oak barrels. A favorite in the Meniketti household.
Contagious is the title of a popular Y&T song from the album of the same name. We thought the name fit well, because the love for Meniketti Wines chardonnay is indeed contagious!
Forever

Long one of Dave and Jill’s favorite SLH vineyards, this pinot noir is beautifully fruit forward, elegantly refined, luxurious, and balanced without harsh tannins. Aged 9 months in 30% new French oak barrels.
Forever is one of Y&T’s most popular songs of all time, from the Black Tiger album. We liked the sentiment of naming wine from one of our favorite varietals (pinot noir) after this classic rock anthem.

2017 Rosé | San Saba Vineyard

A sophisticated, food-friendly wine, and a popular choice in the Meniketti household year-round, especially during warm weather months.
Temptation is the title of Y&T song from the Contagious album. We liked the sentiment of naming this delicate wine after this particular power ballad.
