2004 "Estate Series"
Chardonnay (Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley) |
Our 2004 Chardonnay Reserve is a wine of classic structure and rich complexity. The wines acidity is lively with a viscous mouth feel coming from sur-lie aging and lees stirring. Notes
of pear, green apple and tropical fruit as well as some
toasty aromas of caramel and butterscotch predominate.
This wine, while enjoyable now, should age for several years. In its youth it should pair well with
seafood and salads. And as it ages it will partner even better with poultry and light pasta dishes. |

deep ruby red with a red rim. Aromas of cherry preserves, cranberry and

2004 "Estate" Cabernet
Sauvignon (Napa Valley) |
This vintage is supple
and elegant. The wine has a very dark garnet color yet
a youthful vibrance that keeps on coming. Aromas of cassis and cherry-berry fruit predominate with well
integrated sweet oak notes. A velvety smooth finish
gives this wine the appeal of a sumptuous kiss rather
than a tannic bite. |
