DOC&AG… "Designation of Origin Controlled & Authenticity
Guaranteed" Wild Coyote is proud to be one of the
first wineries in the USA to adopt the European DOCG model,
which sets guidelines for the strictest vineyard/winery
production practices. We even redefine it as DOC&AG;
All the grapes grown & winemaking MUST be a single
site and under one person's control, low production yields
(2-3 tons/ac), dry farmed, hand harvested, high sugar contents
(above 25 brix), over 95% pure varietals, sorted & crushed
delicately (1-2 tons/hr), oak barrel aged (min.18-mo),
and non-filtered.
"What it means is, that wines shouldn’t
be all about taste & price per bottle, but more so
about the love and passion for winemaking with integrity.
You are what you drink..."
If you like the true
taste of Paso fruit, then Wild Coyote can deliver exactly
that. Our wines are close to 100% pure varietals, as compared
to most other wines which are only about 80% accurate,
so it can legally be called varietal. Let’s face
it, the other 20% can be any varietals which is not called
out on the label, then the consumers really don’t
know what is real.
Also, we are not too shy in producing
higher alcohol wines (14-16 brix) as he believes the wines
under 14% are done mostly on purpose to pay less taxes
and appeal to the masses. “We will not compromise
the quality of the fruit that can produce world class wines,
just so that we can save a few bucks.”

| WINE VARIETALS & CHARACTERISTICS |
Zinfandel
Our Westside estate Zin at first impression has a bit of spice, very fruity,
and medium to dark garnet red color with intense rich texture. Then followed
by a wealth of flavors from soft plum/raspberry and aromas from the barrel
aging that reaches a nice balance with the tannins at the end of the mouth.
Syrah
Our Westside estate Syrah is truly
a unique variety, since we use both French & Australian
clones. Deep dark garnets in color with intriguing
fragrant aromas of classic blueberry, earth aromas
with sweet oak, pepper and spice. Forward fruit and
layers of supple round tannins contribute to a
firm structure and extended rich finish.
Merlot
Our Westside estate Merlot delights the eye with a
deep ruby-red color and the bouquet is full nose
of fruit and a delicate oak balance without masking
the flavors of this wonderful grape. Very smooth,
traditional style and the bright tannins are very
ripe and big which provide a long smooth finish.
Tempranillo
Our Westside estate Tempranillo
is medium to full-bodied, low acidity, full fruit characteristic
of plum, cherry & strawberry with an earthy minerality.
Perfect for food pairing with its hometown favorites - tapas,
pork, grilled or roasted entrees..
Meritage
(House-Of-Reds)
This is a perfect blend of our three
Westside estate grapes; Syrah, Merlot, and Zinfandel.
We take the best of each varietal grapes that we
grow (percentages change every year) and create this
one-of-a-kind magnificent wine. Since our big reds
have done so well for us, we just couldn’t wait to marry them all and see
the results. If we may say so, it is very impressive… You
can almost detect the different varietals, but with
a sensational and unique finish, unlike any others.
Rose’ of …
Although we are known for our big
reds, but we just could not resist making a Rose’. And, to
follow our tradition of making big reds, this Rose’ is
also made in a big style (not sweet or wimpy).
It is usually made from one of our estate varietals,
which seems to be an ideal match. It is a dry Rose,
but with a perfect balance, and a creamy finish.
With a name like “White Owl”, it will
for sure capture your palate & imagination.
Zinfandel/Port
This Zinfandel/Port was dedicated
to my wife Kati (tribal name Little Fawn). It is
made from our Estate Zinfandel, with only 125 cases
produced per year. Everything is handmade, including
the bottles, which was from one of the oldest glass
molds (it was actually archived) by an Italian manufacturer.
It is fortified with Brandy (18%alc), with an amazing
sweet chocolate after-taste which is very heavenly.
As one of the customers said it best. . ."it
is to kill for."
Late-Harvest Syrah
This Late-Harvest is made from our
Estate Syrah grapes, with only 125 cases produced
per year. It is named as Dream Catcher, which is
a perfect therapy for after dinner and before sleep.
The winemaking process is the same as the Port, except
this one doesn’t
get fortified with Brandy. All the sweets are natural
from the grapes, with 15.6% alc. Not overly sweet,
with a perfect balance and an amazing finish.
