CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Napa Valley, Oak Knoll
The Grapes for our second Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon come from a vineyard that rests on the sloping hillsides of the Oak Knoll AVA. The nose is of complex black fruit aromas, giving way to a sublet and sweet oak influence. The complex nature of the nose is echoed on the palate, exhibiting a medium to full body. Hints of blueberry, black pepper spice, truffles and earthiness compliment the core of fruit flavors that fill tip the entry, midpalate and long finish. Delicious now, it will age well for 7-10 years. Enjoy with good friends.

BLANC
Santa Ynez, McGinley Vineyard

This wine displays a brilliant, pale straw color along with an inviting nose of tropical fruit aromas and a subtle herbal note that adds complexity to the profile. Vivid in the entry, the wine has crisp fruit flavors of tart pear, green apple and melon that enhance the midpalate and carry through to the long, clean finish. Delicious now.
