2005 Fume Blanc
Paso Robles
One of my favorite white wines, and a beautiful wine with shellfish appetizers and most light fish entrees. A portion of this wine is barrel fermented and aged three months sur lie ... mores, then blended with the remaining lot for an additional month. This is a fresh and crisp vintage, with classic Sauvignon Blanc aromas. The mouth is clean and has lingering citrus notes. I suggest that you sauté scallops in butter with a bit of this wine and garlic. Squeeze a bit of lemon on top and serve with this chilled Fumé Blanc.

2005 Chardonnay
Central Coast
This wine is rich in every sense. We have blended several local vineyards; Hog Canyon, Blind Faith and Abernathy, to create a complex wine full of citrus and apple notes. Roughly f ... moreifty percent of this vintage underwent barrel fermentation. The barrel fermenting and subsequent aging has contributed oak aromas with a lush mouth feel and a lingering crisp finish. This wine will complement any seafood and really stand out with rich cream sauces on pasta or chicken. Serve only slightly chilled to allow the aromas to fully open up.

2005 Tempranillo
California
This wine started as a Wine Club exclusive and has been so successful that we have added it to our quiver of wines. The Tempranillo grape has been an integral part of the Rioja win ... morees of Spain for many years. In Spain however, it is blended with several other varieties to produce the style they desire. The grape and many of its characteristics resemble Zinfandel. You should note a bit of allspice, plums and strawberries in the nose and a lingering finish of fresh fruit in the finish. Great with your next batch of Paella!

2004 Merlot
Paso Robles
The 2004 vintage in Paso Robles produced intense fruit flavors and aromas. The weather was nearly perfect which allowed the grapes to reach full maturity with great balance in acid ... more and sugar. You will find that this Merlot has a subtle but full nose of fruit and oak. We use a combination of newer and older American oak barrels to attain the barrel aged character without an overbearing oak component. This wine is great with any roasted meat or vegetable dish. Try it with barbecued steaks smoked with wine soaked oak staves for a real treat!

2004 Petite Sirah Vista Grande
Paso Robles
For many years we have enjoyed Petite Sirah as wine that helps add complexity and depth to many varietals. The Vista Grande Vineyard has been an integral component, and this year w ... moree've produced a single vineyard bottling to showcase it's quality. The aromas in the wine contain a certain jamminess including blackberries and very ripe plums. The mouth is lush and full with a balance of oak flavors and moderate tannins. A great wine to complement any hearty grilled entrée. You will be able to enjoy this wine for many years.

Paso Robles
This wine is from vineyards that surround Niels and Bimmer Udsen's home and the tasting room.

2004 Zinfandel Late Harvest "Port"
Paso Robles
We have perfected the method for making this wine. We chose ten rows from our Cobble Creek Vineyard and net the vines to protect them from birds. The grapes are then left to hang a ... morend raisin up for about one month after the primary picking. This creates grapes of unmatched intensity and sugar. The raisins soak up juice and more sugar is released as the juice ferments. We fortify the fermented juice with distilled wine spirits to stop the fermentation and maintain the proper sugar balance. This creates an intense wine, full of plum and spice. Enjoy this after dinner, by itself, or with decadent chocolate desserts.

2003 Muscat Canelli Late Harvest
Paso Robles
Back in my days at Estrella River Winery we made a Late Harvest Muscat Canelli and I was always fascinated by the rich thick juice that came out of the press to make this wine. It ... morewasn't until the 2000 vintage that we had the right grapes to produce one of our own. The 2003 vintage is even more intense! The grapes came from our Stone's Throw Vineyard and some of the rows were tagged before harvest for the extended ripening. The results produced a very aromatic wine with hints of apricots and pears. Fortification stopped the fermentation and retained the fruit's natural sweetness. Enjoy after dinner with fruit desserts.
