1999 Fumé Blanc
Our first whiff reminded us of tropical fruits. Then as we took our first sip, the fruit flavors of this wine literally exploded in our mouths. We picked up melon, peach, and apricot flavors. A delicious wine.

1998 Merlot
The nose had hints of tobacco and earth tones. On the palate, we picked up fruits and cedar. Some aging will bring out the true flavors of this wine.

1997 Cabernet Sauvignon
Strong aroma of blackberries and cassis that carried over into the flavor. Given 91 points in the Wine Spectator. A good wine for aging.

Other wines produced by this winery include: Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon Blanc.
