Malbec grapes

The tasting room used to be in a charming old rustic building that we loved. It has now been replaced by a modern and up-to-date structure. Although we miss the old building, we found the wines haven't lost their appeal.

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.

2002 Pinot Blanc
Crisp and fresh with aromas of pineapple. Pippen apple flavors on the palate and the finish.

2001 Chardonnay
Sweet pears in the nose with hints of vanilla. Fruity, apple flavors. The vanilla and apple carried into the finish.

2001 Rosato Di Sangiovese
A spicy, picnic wine that reminded us of cranberries. Only available at the winery.

1999 Sanviovese
Black pepper wafted from the glass followed by a whiff of oak. Cherries in the mouth.

1999 Barbera
A nice, smooth and mellow wine that won't overpower food. Aromas of cloves and bayberries and a hint of pipe tobacco on the finish. Only available at winery.

1999 Syrah
Very flavorful wine with a smokiness in the nose. Lots of layered berry fruits fill the mouth.

1998 Cabernet Sauvignon
A slight aroma of dusty soil with dried cherries and a hint of oak in the flavor. Interesting wine.

1998 Cuvee de la Luna
Aromas of black currants and pipe tobacco led to a mouthful of luscious fruit. Will age nicely.

Other wines produced by this winery include: Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, and Sparkling Wine.
