Chardonnay grapes

This was our second visit to this winery and we were just as impressed with the wines this time as we were on our first visit.

An additional attraction is the absolutely wonderful sourdough bread that is baked fresh at the winery. Don't go home without a loaf!

Tasting hours: Daily - 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

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

1999 Sauvignon Blanc
This wine is excellent! It has a strong peach/pear aroma with a fruity flavor that is crisp and clean. Not too dry, not too sweet.

1998 Zinfandel
Nice fruity aroma with a taste of blackberries and a hint of clove.

1998 Mourvèdre
An very impressive wine that is silky soft in the mouth. Tastes like cherry-flavored chocolate coffee.

1998 Syrah
Another wine that has a very smooth feeling in the mouth. An earthy aroma. Drinkable now, but with 3-5 years of aging will be tantalizing.

1996 Estate Reserve Syrah
A light wine with a very spicy aroma and raspberry flavors. A touch of anise on the finish. In 4-5 years, this wine will be irresistible.

1999 Muscato Curioso
Made entirely from Muscat Canelli grapes, this is an absolutely yummy dessert wine. Its sweetness is balanced by an almost effervescence feeling in the mouth. It would be delightful after a heavy Italian dish.

Other wines produced by this winery include Marsanne, Semillon, Vin Gris, Faux, Barbera, and Sangiovese.
