2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
Malibu-Newton Canyon
The 2003 harvest season started with a very cool and overcast spring, resulting a very light berry set (12% of normal). A warm summer allowed concentration of fruit flavors, and ad ... moreded to the deep color, complexity, and balance. Cool nights kept the acids in perfect balance with the fruit character. An outstanding but very limited release, with best grapes going into this one wine.

2004 Merlot
Malibu-Newton Canyon
Low-yield hillside fruit contributes to a richness and complexity not seen in “standard” Merlots. A full yet supple wine, with hints of black cherry, plum, mocha, exotic spices ... more, and a kiss of oak. Bright berry fruit, elegant mid-palate, and a lingering finish, with refined, well-integrated tannins.

2007 Chardonnay
Malibu-Newton Canyon
A worthy successor to our 2006 Chardonnay, winner of five Gold Medals in major competitions.
A very elegant, medium-bodied wine, exhibiting nuances of pear, apple, Meyer lem ... moreon, and tropical fruit, with a subtle hint of creamy vanilla from French oak aging. The fresh, lingering finish is rich and complex.
Not your usual California heavy oaked, buttery style Chardonnay. Compliments a wide array of foods
