1998 Chardonnay
Tropical fruit flavors with accents of creamy butter and vanilla. A nicely balanced Chardonnay. Scored a 90 in the June issue of The Wine Advocate.

1998 Pinot Grigio
Silver - West Coast Wine Competition
Bronze - San Diego National
A light, flavorful wine perfect for a summer picnic. Try it with salmon, crackers, fresh breads.

1998 Sangiovese
A wonderfully light, fruity, very tasty red wine. We picked up spices (nutmeg) and red licorice in the aroma.

1997 Merlot
Nice body in this wine for being so young. Cherries and berries accented the aroma with plush plum flavors in the mouth. A smooth wine.

1997 Cabernet Sauvignon
Black cherries and peppery aroma that carried over into the flavor. This is a full-bodied wine with good tannins and fruit. A nice Cab.

This winery also produces Rosato Di Sangiovese, a summer blush wine.
