years aging in French and American oak barrels helps accentuate the

classic Northern Rhone is packed with rich ripe fruit and berry flavors
with a touch of spiciness.This wine exudes the character of the
Rhone River Valley. Oak aged for eighteen
months in French and American oak adds a hint of smokiness and softens
tannins.
The 2003 is clearly aging well representing a wise investment and as
attested by the Gold Medal in Orange County in 2010.Limited quantities. $36/ 750ml bottle

 |
2008 Zinfandel Port

|
This Port is ripe, luscious and makes for a wonderful aperitif, dessert
sipper or a good mix for Gold Hill California Champagne. Crushed from high-sugar Barbera grapes, this
dessert wine is quite soft, well blended and not too hot at 18%
alcohol.
Originally discoverd by accident, this Port is very drinkable.
$20 /375ml bottle
