Merlot grapes

As the phone number above suggests, this winery offers BIG REDS.

The tasting-room is tucked away and easy to miss once you're on the winery grounds, but keep looking because you won't want to miss these incredible, estate-grown wines.

Tasting hours: Daily - 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Listed wines and/or vintages may no longer be available. Contact the winery for the most recent releases.

2000 Chardonnay
Nice, smooth, fruity sipping wine. Lots of pears and green apples in the flavor.

1997 Merlot
Picked up a scent of red licorice on the nose with yummy chocolate in the mouth. Very good wine.

1998 Cabernet Sauvignon
First scent was of candied fruits mixed with fresh berries. This wine has a bit of an edge right now, but the tannins will smooth out gracefully with a bit of aging.

1998 Coeur de Vigne
This is a private reserve wine that is a luscious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It is smooth, full-bodied, and simply delightful. Candied plum flavors.
