The Bader family has been in the wine grape growing business since the family bought eight acres located in western Napa Valley in the early 1980's. Together they work to produce Phoenix Vineyards' small output of 2,500 cases annually. Now three generations are involved in the wine-making business, producing estate wines crafted from some of the best vineyards in the Napa Valley. Certainly the Bader family lives by the motto: "Wine is for the enjoying of life."

Wine	Description	Trade
"Estate Series" Chardonnay, 2004 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.	Download Label
"Little Blackbird" Estate Merlot, 2004 Napa Valley	The aromas will evolve into scents of dark fruits like plumb and blackberry exuding from the glass. Also characters of sandalwood and vanilla mingle with cassis and raspberry lingering on the finish. This long lived wine will pair well with any red meat entree.	Download Label
"Estate" Cabernet Sauvignon, 2004 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.
