We were on our way to another winery when we discovered Carneros Creek. And are we glad we stopped! Very nice wines. Tasting hours: Daily - 10:00 am to 5:00 pm

Contact the winery for the most recent releases. 1999 Chardonnay, Palombo Vineyard Gold Medal - Riverside International Competition Tropical fruits blend with brisk citrus in the aroma and flavor. A nice creamy finish. 1998 Pinot Noir, Côte de Carneros The aroma reminded us of ripe, red cherries and spices. This is a very light wine with a slightly tart finish. 1997 Merlot, Mahoney Vineyard Cherry and licorice on the nose with more cherry flavors in the mouth. A slight hint of chocolate on the finish. 1999 Pinot Noir, Mahoney Estate Aromas of mixed berries with a nice, smooth mouth-feel and a delightful berry finish. A delightful wine. 1999 Pinot Noir, Las Brisas Vineyard Gold Medal - Orange County Fair, Gold Medal - Los Angeles County Fair, Gold Medal - Indiana State Fair Ahhhh, the lovely mixed fruits and berries waft up from the glass, then explode in the mouth. Red licorice on the finish. A not-to-be-missed wine. Cabernet Sauvignon is also produced at this winery.
