Winemaker Notes
Our overlook blend is quite literally an overview of each vintages qualities and attributes. It draws from twenty different vineyard sites and appellations combining the entire spectrum of flavors and textures. The principle guideline in all of our picking decisions is based on ripe flavor development. The synergy of blending creates a wine that is more than the sum of its parts. All of the individual lots and barrels in the final blend have passed through numerous tastings and are added to the blend tanks only upon final tasting and approval by the winemaking staff. If a barrel does not taste good, if is left out to be refermented with the coming years vintage, a natural and non-interventionist method of correcting a problem. The Overlook has a generous palate feel, with ripe fruit expression, apple, pear, orange, fig, melon, coupled with toasty, grain-like flavors, imparted from French oak and sur lie aging.

Landmark Vineyards was founded in 1974 in Windsor, California. In 1989, Damaris Deere Ford, became sole proprietor and relocated the winery to Sonoma Valley. Ford is a descendant of John Deere, founder of the world's largest tractor manufacturer. Landmark Vineyards is located at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain in Sonoma Valley. In 1993, world-renowned consulting enologist Helen Turley was hired to work with former winemaker, Eric Stern. Landmark Vineyard's mission is "to make great wines that enhance the joy of life." Quality and flavor begin in the vineyards. In addition to the estate vineyard, Landmark sources grapes from a range of different vineyards and those selected are the finest in the highly diverse microclimates of Sonoma County's winegrowing regions.
