1999 Sauvignon Blanc
Spicy aroma with a pick grapefruit flavor. A brisk wine.

1997 Chardonnay
A very buttery aroma with toasted pear flavors. The butteriness returned on the finish. This is a delightful and smooth wine.

1998 Chardonnay (Glass Mountain)
Immediate taste of Granny Smith green apples. A dry, brisk wine.

1997 Reserve Chardonnay
This is a dry, more complex Chardonnay that would go well with white cheeses. Limited supply. Wine Spectator gave it 91 points.

1998 Zinfandel
Your senses explode with the fruity, spicy aroma and flavors. A very zesty wine.

1997 Petite Sirah
Reminiscent of sweet grape candy. A young wine, but with a nice flavor. The Petite Sirahs from this winery have a history of 90+ ratings.

1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (Glass Mountain)
A light, inexpensive Cab with strawberry flavors. Very drinkable now.

1997 Cabernet Sauvignon
Prune-like flavors. This wine is smooth now, but will improve with aging.

1997 Muscat Blanc
Very appealing dessert wine that will cleanse the palate with its fresh, clean taste of Muscat grapes.

This winery also produces Merlot wine.
