2005 Chardonnay
Santa Barbara Vineyards
Santa Barbara County has long been known for its extraordinary conditions for growing certain wine grapes. The east to west valleys serve as weather barriers, allowing the fog and ...morecooler climate to come in and keep the scorching heat and dry weather out. This allows time for the grapes to fully ripen over a longer period of time, which ultimately brings more complexity to the wine.

2005 Merlot
Sierra Foothills Vineyards
Our 2005 Sierra Foothills Merlot was brought to us by our neighbors at Perry Creek in Amador County. The hot dry summer and cool fall evenings make this an ideal location for full ...morebodied Merlot to reach full potential.
The first layer of this deep blue/red colored wine releases aromas of black cassis, leather and vanilla. With the second layer, you will taste a light cherry and oak essence which will open to big bodied tannins bringing you into you third layer of a well balanced and long lasting finish.
As a whole, this Merlot is incredibly well structured, making if perfect for most heavy dishes. Enjoy this wine with any thick pasta, roast or other red meats.

2004 Petite Sirah
Mencarini Vineyards - Lodi
The 2004 Petite Sirah is our very first release and a proud accomplishment. It is an opulent blend of 15% Lodi Zinfandel and 85% Lodi Petite Sirah, both from the Mencarini Vineyard ...mores.
The dark garnet plum color of this wine is enough to get any connoisseur interested. On the nose, this Petite opens with slightly spice and coffee aromas and continues with ripe Bing cherries and blackberries. With further aeration of the wine, the aroma profile develops with more ripened fruit flavors overpowering the spice. The mouth feel is well balanced for a young wine. The fuit flavors continue to ripen and start to pop while the finish leaves you wanting a second glass.
This wine would be best enjoyed with any beef or lamb dish, or even your favorite grilled eggplant recipe. Cheers!

2005 Charbono Napa Valley
Napa Valley
You may be wondering, what is Charbono? Charbono is not a common grape variety in California. There are only 84 planted acres in the entire state! Genetic testing has determined ...more it to be the same grape as Corbeau, which is grown in the Savoie region of France.
The grapes for our second release of this little known varietal come from the Frediani vineyard which is located just south of the winery here in Calistoga. Planted back in the 1920s, this vineyard produces low yields with the ultimate in flavor concentration.
The wine has a dark, almost opaque purple color. It has a full-bodied palate with flavors of raspberry, plum and chocolate with pronounced, but well-integrated tannins giving it a rich texture and long finish.
At harvest the sugar was 25.1 brix with a total acidity of 0.33 g/100 ml and a pH of 3.79. The grapes were destemmed into a small open-topped fermenter and punched down twice daily by hand. The barrels used were 35% new American oak and 65% two and three year old French oak barrels. The wine was aged in barrel for 16 months. It was bottled without fining or filtration. 293 cases produced.

2005 NICHOLLS Syrah, Santa Barbara County
White Hawk Vineyard
We sourced our fruit from a vineyard located on the south-facing slope of Cat Canyon, a side canyon of the Los Alamos Valley in Santa Barbara County. Planted at 900 feet of elevati ...moreon on pure sand, water and nutrients are immediately drained off forcing the vines to work extra-hard to survive. The resulting yields are miniscule and the berries are intense. A strong core of acidity is complemented by elements of spice, meat and blackberries. A terrific, big Rhone-style Syrah with just enough acidity to make it perfect with food. Try throwing a hanger steak on the grill and opening a bottle of this wine!
