Elegantly balanced, displays a full tannin structure up front, yet finishes with a silky viscous texture. Drinks great now, and will easily go for a decade or more in your cellar.

Full bodied with aromas of black currant, red cherry, dried cranberries and subtle notes of tobacco and dark chocolate. Well-structured with bright acidity and balanced firm tannins. Flavors of plum, black currant, raspberry, and cocoa carry through to its delightful finish. Bring on the meats!
A tantalizing array of aromas and flavors. Pale golden in color it entices with aromas of green apple, citrus blossoms, pear and hints of vanilla bean. This medium bodied Chardonnay is silky on the palate with bright acidity and a rich, creamy texture flavors of apricot, baked pear and citrus rounding out the palate. Thoroughly satisfying!

The mouthfeel exhibits a balance of juicy fruit, bright acid, and soft tannin with a lingering finish with echoes of cherry and raspberry. We're loving this!
