TimberRock Winery
 This just in - our 2006 Summit has been awarded a Wine Spectator 90 pts!
A heartfelt thank you for such tremendous continued support of our endeavor; it is thrilling for us to be able to share our passion and labor of love with so many. Our wines are entirely handcrafted at our mountain home/winery, a setting where we are dedicated to creating wine of uncompromising quality and distinction.
At TimberRock, we believe optimizing vineyard quality is the single most important factor in achieving superlative wine quality. Therefore, we have established long-term relationships with those winegrowers willing to collaborate with us in achieving our rigorous vineyard goals. During harvest, we carry-out multiple grape pickings within our small vineyard blocks based on subtle differences of microclimates and soil types to ensure the precise flavor profiles we desire. Our techniques in winemaking are designed to conserve and enhance the expression of those optimally tended and superior vineyards.
To achieve our exacting winemaking standards, we employ winemaking equipment of the absolute highest quality available. This includes a new, innovatively designed Euroselect de-stemming machine that literally plucks whole berries from the stem. We use a gentle European designed press to extact the juice from the grapes. This state-of-the-art equipment compliments our obsessive hand-on approach during fermentation, which relentlessly pushes the envelope for extraction in the pursuit of maximizing lush, sweet fruit and sweet, supple tannins. By the end of the harvest we are managing many small wine lots resulting from our diminutive vineyard blocks, multiple grape pickings within these blocks, low yields and small fermentation bins demanding individualized care.
Creating the perfect TimberRock blend is extremely challenging. The painstaking and rigorous process of selecting and blending wine lots that are objectively the most concentrated yet balanced, delicious and of the highest quality defines the TimberRock Domaine. Ultimately, TimberRock is a labor of love that allows us to truly express our definition of great wine.
