2001 Sauvignon Blanc, Charlotte's Home
Yum! Lots of citrus in the mouth -- especially picked up pink grapefruit flavor. Creamy finish.

2001 Chardonnay, Sonoma County
Lots of butter and oak flavors with a hint of citrus fruits on the finish.

2001 Chardonnay, Chalk Hill Estate
Grapefruit aroma with melon flavor. Very fruity wine.

1998 Merlot, Alexander Valley
This is a big wine with berry flavors that seem to spread thoughout your entire mouth. Smooth finish.

2000 Merlot, Sonoma County
Black cherries and berries on the nose with ripe cherry flavors and a hint of spiciness in the mouth.

2000 Zinfandel, Knotty Vines
Very easy drinking wine that would go well with tomato-based foods. Not as spicy as some Zins.

2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County
Easy drinking wine. Black cherries and berries with subtle notes of vanilla.

1999 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alden Vineyards
We liked this wine! Very gentle and smooth in the mouth with lots of flavors. Coffee and licorice on the finish.

1998 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, No. Sonoma
A delicately-flavored, yet full-bodied wine. Coffee aroma in the nose. Very nice Cab! Should lay down 3-4 years.

1998 Symmetry, No. Sonoma
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc produced an interesting English Toffee coffee aroma and lots of chocolate berry flavor.

This winery also produces Pinot Noir.
