2001 Sauvignon Blanc
Gold Medal at L.A. County Fair
A very fruity wine with an aroma of ripe melons. In the mouth and in the finish, there's a hint of fresh figs.

2000 Eleanor of Aquitaine
Best of Class, California State Fair, Gold Medal, L.A. County Fair
Loved this wine! A blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, it has a nice, rich taste. Picked up the aroma of pears. Excellent for 'sipping.'

2000 Cabernet Franc
Best of Class & Gold Medal, L.A. County Fair
Very aromatic with ripe black cherries in the nose and licorice on the finish.

1999 Merlot
An earthiness in the nose, this is a heavier, fuller Merlot. Red berry flavors and light tannins on the finish. Given an 88 by Wine Enthusiast.

1999 Cabernet Sauvignon
Gold Medal, San Francisco International
Enticing bouquet. Ripe Bing cherry flavors. Smooth finish.

1998 Richard the Lion-Heart
Best of Class, California State Fair
Yum! Lovely, smooth, fruity, deep flavors, soft and rich. A complex blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc makes this a delightful wine.

Other wines produced by this winery include: Semillion, Malbec, Petit Verdot.
