2000 Chardonnay, Sonoma County
This wine is a new release and was delightful! Lots of pears and apples in the nose with a hint of creamy vanilla. On the palate, we picked up notes of apricot. A nice, balanced finish.

2000 Pinot Blanc, Saralee's Vineyard
This wine was wonderful! Hints of butterscotch in the aroma with flavors of melon in the mouth and on the finish. Yum. Note: The flavors are much more distinct if the wine is not real cold.

2000 Côte de Lune Blanc, Saralee's Vineyard
A blend of Marsanne, Roussane, and Viognier, this is a very fruity, pleasing wine.

2000 Viognier, Saralee's Vineyard
A wine of the white Rhône style, it has orange blossoms and rose petals in the aroma with lots of fruit on the palate.

1999 Syrah, Sonoma Valley
Another Rhône-style wine, it has aromas of black cherries and oriental incense. Berries were predominant in the mouth with a spicy, brisk finish. Would go wonderfully with tomato-based Italian meals.

Other wines produced by this winery include: Gewürztraminer, Rosé, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and some blends.
