2004 Quartet R.S.         $112.56        $9.38         $14.00
For those of you with a sweeter palette we created the Quartet R. S. This wine is composed of the same four grapes as the Summer Quartet; Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Muscat, but it also has 2% Residual Sugar. A bouquet of flowers and orange blossoms, give way to the taste of Honeysuckle Nectar. A sure pleaser for any sweet tooth.
 

2002 Syrah            $112.56        $9.38       $14.00
The Syrah grapes used to make this medium body wine were grown by one of the valleys premier wine grape growers, Frank Saviez.  Franks dedication to quality and the rich fertile soils of the San Joaquin River bluff, helped produce a wine with rich dense berry, and bitter chocolate flavors, with aromas of smoke, black tea. Enjoy with a nice meal of beef, lamb, or any wild game.
 

2002 Cabernet Shiraz    $144.72      $12.06           $18.00
Synergy is the perfect description for marvelous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.  The big smoke, berries and black tea characters of the Syrah, meld with the pleasant cherry and black pepper of the Cabernet Sauvignon.  This wine has a solid structure with some young tannins that will develop brilliantly over the next 5-10 years.
Enjoy with any beef, lamb, or wild game.
 

2001 Clark Ranch Zinfandel   $209.04         $17.42     $26.00
Chocolate and Blueberries are abundant in this huge red Zinfandel. Solid tannin composition and 30 months in American Oak barrels have left this wine with a huge mouth feel and very concentrated layers of aromas and flavors. Pairs well with any chocolate, game, venison, or lamb.
 

2002 Mulino
100% new French Oak barrels helped provide the soft toasty structure in the Sangiovese base of this soft finessed wine. Merlot was added for a slight earthiness, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon for just a hint of smoke and tannins. Very well rounded wine, pairs well with a holiday ham, goose, or strong cheese platter.
