2003 Pinot Gris
Light and crisp citrus aroma and flavor. Slightly spicy. Good wine for patio or deck sipping.

2003 Viognier
Mango aroma. Lots of tropical flavors in the mouth with a nice finish. Great summertime wine.

2003 Anna Maria Chardonnay
Oakiness in the nose with pear, light buttery, and vanilla toast flavors. A nice, smooth, award-winning wine.

2000 Merlot
Light, rather grassy scent. Fresh raspberries and red plum in the mouth.

2000 Anna Maria Merlot
Very nice wine. Tasted black cherry, plum, and a hint of vanilla in the mouth. Ready to drink now, but could cellar for a year or two.

2001 Rogue Valley Syrah
Peppery aroma. Ripe black cherry and pepper flavors. Would go fantastic with spicy foods.

2000 Meritage
The blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc brings out black cherries in the mouth. A younger wine that would benefit from 2-6 years of aging.

2000 Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc
Oh yum! Lots of apricot in the nose and mouth. Sweet, but not overpowering. Excellent with blue cheese.

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