mouthwatering with the mixture of rich, dense dark fruits of blackberry,

Here is a wine with incredible depth and structure along with great fruit and
pronounced spice. Our 2003 Syrah is more of a Rhone-style with bigger, riper
fruit that really reflects the vintage. Beautiful dark aromas of dark cherries,
hyacinth, brown sugar, nutmeg and clove on the nose. The mouth shows bright
cherry flavors integrated with coffee bean, pomegranate and plum followed by a
long finish laced with cinnamon. As for food, pairing this Syrah with a hearty
lamb stew would be a match made in heaven. Also try with a pork tenderloin and
pomegranate sauce or a quesadilla with queso fresca, dried cherries and pine
nuts. |

Ideal weather and precise vineyard management made for a very successful 2003 harvest. Our Chardonnay has a cult following now and all indications are that this vintage will be no exception. Bright, mineral and tangy, with a generous mouthfeel of pear and grapefruit. Shades of spice and toast from our wonderful Burgundian barrels balance the crisp acidity, ending with a fresh and lively note.
Our 2003 Chardonnay will be the perfect companion with Bay scallop ceviche or crab cakes topped with a lime beurre blanc.

spice. This Cabernet Franc is nicely balanced with great acidity and soft
tannins. Comfort foods would be a great pairing. Try this with a pasta, tomato
and fresh basil, hearty beef stew or a cassoulet. |
