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!

2005 NICHOLLS Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Dr. Crane Vineyard
We sourced our fruit from a well known producer located in St. Helena, Napa Valley. Originally planted almost 150 years ago, it was replanted in 1998. The well-drained, gravelly lo ...moream soil there helps create wines with a tremendous concentration of cassis, graphite, and other characteristics reminiscent of a great Graves. This wine has just been released and has yet to be reviewed. A true value; it's in a league with wines twice the price and is destined for cult cab status. Look for review in the June Wine Enthusiast Buyer's Guide (suggested retail $85, rated 86 - good value).

2003 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena
Parry Cellars 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant cabernet. It has a beautiful ruby color with aromas of blueberry, boysenberry, blackberry and well integrated oak with faint no ...moretes of cardamom, white pepper and truffle oil. In the mouth, the supple, sweet entry opens up into a mid-palate laced with an excellent balance of tannins and berry fruit. The finish lingers with wonderful blackberry and cocoa notes. The wine was aged for 18 months in 100% French oak barrels (44% new / 56% once-used) and was bottled without fining and filtration to preserve the true beauty of our fruit. It pairs well with beef short ribs, a barbequed flatiron or roast pork tenderloin. We are sure you will enjoy this wine now or after bottle aging for a few years.

Passalacqua Winery |
2006 Primitivo Dry Creek Valley, Lavender Hill Vineyard
The first significant yield from this young mountain vineyard, it’s plush and rich and shows beautiful potential, with a medium weight on the palate and no jarring tannins. The f ...moreruit is reminiscent of wild blackberries with hints of raspberry, and the oak is subtle and tinged with smoke and vanilla. There’s also a nuance of black pepper as you savor the long, smooth finish.

Per Bacco Cellars |
2005 Dionysus Arroyo Grande
This wine is exceptional on a number of levels. A study not only in cool climate Pinot Noir, but in the potential of this site. Its cool climate rearing is seen in the concentratio ...moren of dark fruit - black cherry, blackberry and plum evident in the nose and on the palate. With these flavors at its heart, the wine shows layers of spicy mocha, rose petal and a rich supple texture. The characteristics of the clones come forward in its earthy richness and its silky texture. It is at once intense and seductive, offering a firm structure along with a lingering finish that begs for exploration. Deep dark and rich, it is great now or will cellar for some years to come.

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.
