Orchid Hill is a 51 acre vineyard located on
sloping limestone hills in the Templeton Gap area of the west side
of Paso Robles Wine Country.
Our low-vigor vineyards enjoy ideal southeast facing sun exposure
and cooling afternoon breezes.
The vines are meticulously hand tended and harvested. This environment
provides wines with exceptional bouquet, depth of color, and impressive
ripeness of flavors.
Northeast Wine Brokers is proud to offer the following Orchid Hill
wines in Connecticut:

2006 Orchid Hill Pinot Noir
This fine Burgundian varietal thrives on the calcareous-shale
soil and cool breezes of the Templeton Gap. Long hang-time
to ripeness produces vibrant cherry flavors, fresh and bright
depth and complexity to the mid-palate.

2005 Orchid Hill Zinfandel Primi
On this austere site, planted with much-sought-after Primitivo
clone of Zinfandel, vines struggle but manage to maintain
a naturally perfect balance between foliage and clusters.
The resulting wine displays a marked sophistication often
lacking in Zinfandel. Rich, spicy flavors and deep intense
pigmentation are a sure sign of fully ripened fruit. Classically
structured, the 2003 drinks well now, but will age gracefully
for several years.

2003 Orchid Hill Syrah
Syrah is perfectly suited to the sunny warm days and cool
nights of the West side of Paso Robles. Our Syrah is big wine,
exceptionally dark with deep rich tannins and flavors of dark
cherry and blueberry. Bold and intense, it will age gracefully
in the bottle for several years to come and will turn heads
with its exceptional balance of complexity and finesse.

Muscat Canelli (Not a dessert wine)
Orchid Hill Muscat Canelli offers up an exotic flavor and
aroma profile, balanced by crisp acidity and supple fruit
character. One of the largest families of grapes, Muscat is
heralded for its distinctive perfume and robust flavor intensity.
A perfect companion with Asian cuisine, this lovely wine is
sure to please every palate with its definitive, spicy aromatics,
silky texture and exquisite balance.

with fresh sushi, with spicy grilled shrimp, or with nearly
any Asian cuisine.
