The term <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine Library<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> refers to a winery\u2019s supply of bottles from earlier vintages that are properly cellared and are no longer available for purchase. At Claiborne and Churchill, we like to reserve a few cases of our various whites and reds from older vintages, saving them for special events. Bringing out library wines allows our customers to experience the difference between a young and a mature wine. Sampling library wines also gives some of our club members a chance to taste what might still be in their cellar at home, and decide if it\u2019s time to drink or continue to let the flavors develop in bottle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_4687.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-873 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_4687-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Wine Library Rieslings\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_4687-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_4687-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_4687-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_4687.jpg 1334w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So, guess what?

Winemaker <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coby Parker-Garcia<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is particularly excited about the 2007 Runestone Pinot noir. Coby emphasized that the 2007 vintage was a stand out year and that \u201ca vintage like that comes around once in 20 years.\u201d On the day that Coby and assistant winemaker <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zack Geer <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">were tasting all of the different Runestone Pinot Noir vintages, some of us were fortunate enough to take home the 2008 Runestone. Trust me, you do not want to miss out trying these incredibly smooth, delicately aged Pinot Noirs, along with the older Riesling vintages that are showing beautifully.
