1998 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Tobacco scent and finish. Low tannins make this wine drinkable now.

1997 Cabernet Royale Port
Gold Medal at 2001 San Francisco Bay Wine Competition
A lovely dessert wine that will go well with chocolate and ripe cheeses.

1997 Vintage Port
Made from a blend of Portuguese grapes, it is a sweet wine with black fruit flavors and a licorice finish.

1998 Chardonnay del Sol
An interesting dessert wine made from Chardonnay grapes. Would be a nice accent to fruit tarts.

1998 Late Bottled Vintage Port
Rich, full-bodied with black fruit flavors. Three years of aging in French and American oak barrels gives it depth and intensity. Reminiscent of high-end Portuguese wine. Limited supply.

1998 Port Royale
Just released in November 2001, this port will age nicely. Long, flavorful finish.

Other wines produced by this winery include: Blush Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Merlot.

Not all wines were available for tasting.
