Cabernet Sauvignon grapes

We had read some good reviews about these wines and decided to give them a try.

Tasting hours: Daily - 11:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.

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

2001 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
A very flavorful SB with pleasing aromas of grapefruit, honeydew melon, and a little spice. The melon lingers in the mouth.

2001 Chardonnay (Carneros)
Rich, buttery aromas. Flavors of golden fig and vanilla with some butteriness in the background. Creamy finish.

1999 Merlot (Napa Valley)
The aroma that floated up from the glass reminded us of candied fruits (black/red cherries). Lot of berry flavors on the palate. Pleasing finish. This wine will age nicely for 3-5 years.

1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
Very appealing aromas of black cherry and berry with underlying hints of sweet red cherry. Chocolate offered a nice addition to the flavor with a bit of pepper. Aging potential -- 6 to 9 years.

1998 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
A bit of black cherry in the nose, lots of spicy berries and currants on the palate and in the finish.

1998 Belmuscato
Yummy dessert wine that reminded us of peach nectar. Orange blossoms and apricot in the nose, sweet honey and peach in the mouth, and lingering flavors of pineapple on the finish.
