2006 Late Harvest Pinot Noir
|
A gorgeous coral pink color pours into one’s glass. Aromas of ripe raspberry, honey, cherries and strawberries jump from the wine. The body is quite full. The finish is long and richly textured. Match with fresh seasonal berries, caviar or blue cheeses. A solid seven to ten years of cellar potential exist with this fine wine.

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
|
The deep red – purple color hints at the depth this wine possesses. Yummy toasty oak, leather and vanilla bean notes wrap around a juicy core of black cherry, chocolate raisins and coffee flavors. The tannins are up front providing enough to offer decent aging potential. This is a wine which requires a little breathing time between opening and enjoying …. say a good half hour. The fare demands a thick grilled beef steak, duck served with a black fruit sauce or a Dagwood hamburger (that means a super deluxe burger!). If these are not an option, a large empty glass, lovely companion and beautiful sunset would fill in more than adequately.

2008 Merlot
|
The Wine: Beautiful purple - red color hints at the depth this wine possesses. Delicious oak and vanilla bean notes wrap around a juicy center of black cherry, red raspberries, chocolate and coffee flavors. The tannins are fine grained yet are still present enough to provide decent aging potential. This is a wine which requires a half hour of breathing time between opening and enjoying. The fare couples very will with a thick beef steak, duck served with a black fruit sauce or grilled salmon. If these are not an option, a large empty glass would more than suffice.
