New Releases

 

 

 

 

2007 Viognier  $18

Pineapple and Apricot fill the glass. This Viognier has a fruity introduction with a light smooth mid-palate. The finish is clean and refreshing with a touch of orange zest.

 

 2004 Zinfandel $18

Full bodied and big, this Zinfandel has cumin, chili powder and plum on the nose. The wine carries hints of ollalaberries in the introduction that melds into a very full mid-palate, highlighted by a strong backbone. Goes well with sharp cheeses including Cheddar, Havarti, Asagio and Parmesan.

 

Now available for purchase in the tasting room.
