2004 Chardonnay – White Table Wine

This chardonnay is barrel aged in French and American oak. It exhibits tropical fruit notes and pineapple with soft butterscotch. A clean, crisp, lingering finish, is attributed to the well blended balance of this wine. Enjoy now, served slightly chilled.

2005 Capella, White Table Wine

This is a blend of two vineyards of 100% Gewürztraminer, one was used for color the other for floral fragrance. This is a young wine which is enjoyable now, chill before serving. Your guests will really enjoy this.

2003 Zinfandel, Double Gold Amador – Gold El Dorado

The 2003 Zinfandel is another powerhouse of a wine. In its early age, it exhibits a lot of fruit but will tone down over time to taste more like the ’02 zinfandel. Both wines are 15% alcohol, from the same 25 year old vines, however, this wine was on Hungarian oak for 14 months.
