Tasting Notes

Riesling

The grapes are from 30 year old vines up in the Santa Lucia Highlands. This is a very refreshing wine with peach, pineapple, red apple, and a hint of lemon. Very clean finish with a right amount of sweetness. However, it's not too sweet or buttery. Thus, it will go well with blacken chicken, halibut or sole with a mango salsa sauce, curries, pork with a chutney sauce, and everything sweet and/or spicy. It will go great with dessert as well.

You can also drink it by itself. Cheers!

Chardonnay

The grapes are from the old vines up in the Santa Lucia Highlands. What a well balanced wine. No oak with malolactic fermentation. You'll get a hint of butterscotch, tropical fruits, honey, and a slight citrus at the end. Very clean finish. This will pair well with crab, salmon, chicken, halibut, sand dabs, cheeses and fruits, or pretty much all seafood. You can also drink it by itself.

It's refreshingly Monterey! Cheers!

Syrah

The grapes are from the newer vines up into the Arroyo Seco Canyon, just north of the Arroyo Seco River. French oak with micro oxygenation. You'll get blackberries, cherry cola, smoky aroma, deep ruby color, with a clean finish. Another well balanced wine, from start to finish. This will pair well with ribs, chicken, pizzas, cheeses and fruits, bar-b-ques, milk chocolates, and wild mushrooms.

You can also drink it by itself. Cheers!

Merlot

This is also from the Arroyo Seco Canyon region, specifically: Twin Oaks Vineyard. Aged in French oak for about a year. You'll get cherries, herbs, chocolate with a nice finish. Pairs well with pork chops, chicken, lamb, and steaks.

Or try it by itself! Cheers!

Gewurtraminer

Traditional Alsatian style dry Gewurztraminer made from Monterey County grapes. Nice floral bouquet with lychee, honeydew, great acidity and minerality on the finish.
