Sauvignon Blanc grapes

This winery is located on a lovely country road and may take a bit of searching, but it's offers some tasty wines so it's worth the effort.

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.

1997 Sauvignon Blanc
A nice lemony-buttery taste on the tongue, yet crisp and tart with a smooth finish.

1998 Dry Creek Cuvee
Made from Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Zinfandel grapes, it's a light, fruity wine that would go well with salmon or duck.

1998 Zinfandel
Nice berry aroma. A zesty wine with a nice flavor and soft in the mouth. Would probably be even better after aging a couple of years.

1992 Zinfandel
Chocolate/berry aroma and flavor. Brisk in the mouth. Would go well with pork, hearty pasta, grilled steak.

This winery also produces a Cabernet Cuvee and a Cabernet Sauvignon.
