1998 Marsanne
A crisp, fruity wine. Dry on the finish.

1998 Roussane
Lots of orange essence in the nose with spicy citrus flavors.

1999 Viognier
We picked up a strong peanut aroma with pear in the flavor. Very different. A nice smooth finish.

1999 Pinot Gris
Honey and hazelnut in the nose with a green pea flavor.

1998 Zinfandel - California
A nice berry scent on the nose. A light wine, not too complex. Good price.

1998 Zinfandel - Ancient Vines
An interesting coffee aroma with delicious raspberry flavors and a spicy finish.

1999 Syrah
Nice smooth wine that is drinkable now.

1998 Syrah
Smoky, tobacco aroma. A mellow wine that will be even nicer with a few years aging.
