Golden straw color. Tropical aromas and flavors of honey roasted tropical fruits, peach cobbler, honeysuckle on a cedar trellis, and pistachio oil with a velvety, soft, fruity medium-to-full body and an effortless, complex, long finish that shows accents of apple and pear sauce, pineapples in coconut milk, and white chocolate brittle with well-integrated tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. A delicious, big, tropical viognier with lots of varietal character.

Indigo color. Aromas and flavors of Ovaltine and chocolate cereal and berry pie crust with an vibrant, fruity medium body and a captivating, long finish with shades of dried cherry and toffee with soft tannins and light oak flavor. A delicious, chewy, and concentrated Cabernet that will work brilliantly with well-aged steaks or on it’s own.

Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of pistachio nougat, blackberry meringue pie, leather, and orange blossom honeycomb with an bright, fruity medium body and an amusing, medium-long finish that shows notes of cedar and spiced roasted nuts with chewy, earthy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A toothsome and varietally correct tempranillo that is drinking well now and will improve with time.

Garnet black color. Herbal aromas and flavors of dill pickles, rhubarb pie, pencil shavings, and tomato vine with a supple, bright, dryish medium-to-full body and a tingling, captivating, medium-length finish that shows notes of pickled green tomatoes and roasted turnips and kale with well-integrated, chewy tannins and light oak flavor. A savory cabernet with lots of earthy herbal notes.

Salmon orange color. Fruity aromas of raspberry jam, sweet cherry, and heirloom tomato with a soft, vibrant, fruity medium body and a polished, medium-long grape leaves and stracciatela finish with no oak flavor. A rustic rose for afternoon refreshment.

Light garnet color. Aromas and flavors of tomato vine and celery leaf with a vibrant, dryish medium body and a brisk finish with notes of yellow tomato, raw green bean, and potting soil with a suggestion of oak flavor. A vegetal American Sangiovese for a meal out in the garden.

Ruby black color. Aromas of pencil lead and fallen leaves with a soft, off-dry light-to-medium body and a short generic fruit leather, tomato vine, and molten plastic finish with a suggestion of oak flavor. An off-dry red for smashing with a pizza on the couch.

Yellow straw color. Attractive, fruity aromas and flavors of white chocolate s’mores and frosted peach danish with a silky, bright, fruity medium body and a smooth, interesting, medium-long finish that shows notes of pear and pineapple gelato, honeydew, and peach and grape skins with fine, fruit tannins and no oak flavor. A nice and even viognier sipper for everyday pleasure.
