This winery has long been one of our favorites. Besides having spectacular grounds, their wines are also very good. We were particularly impressed with the smooth mouth feel in every wine we tasted.

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 Fumé Blanc, Sonoma County
Pink grapefruit aroma carried over into the palate with just a hint of apricot adding to the flavor. Lingering finish.

1999 Chardonnay, Alexander Valley
A nice balanced wine with green apple on the nose and a buttery, creamy flavor that seemed to increase on the finish.

1999 Tre Terre Chardonnay, Alexander Valley
Oakiness and a light touch of tropical fruit in the aroma and taste. A hint of apricots on the finish. A nice Chardonnay.

1998 Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley
Yum. Blackberries, cherries, and other fruits in the mouth that faded into a ripe plum flavor. Just a bit of licorice in the finish.

1999 Eldorado Noir
This wine is made from 100% Black Muscat grapes and was absolutely delicious! Very floral nose with accents of blackberry and strawberry. Fills your mouth with wonderful fruit flavors. A well-balanced wine.

1997 TreMonte Sangiovese, Alexander Valley
Another yummy wine. Coffee and cherries in the aroma that can be discerned in the mouth as well. Lots of flavor with cherries, cedar, and plums on the finish.

1997 TreMonte Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley
Rich mouth flavors of plum, cherry, berries, and tobacco all come together in a brilliant finish.

Other wines produced by this winery include Syrah and Merlot.
