2007 25% Viognier / 75% Chardonnay
- Now with a little “age,” this wine is developing nicely. The aroma seems dominated by Viognier, with a fresh, floral nose. Hiding behind the Viognier is the wonderful Chardonnay aroma of fresh butter but without the oak. On the palate, the Viognier and Chardonnay are more equally balanced and showing fruit, butter, and a hint of honey. Drink now.
2006 Meritage
- This wine has now been in bottle for 12 months, and continues to impress me every time I taste it. This is still a young wine, characterized by focused fruit and acidity. Classic red Bordeaux aromas and flavors of black/red berry fruit backed up by a hint of toasted oak. This medium-bodied red will age well for many years to come. Just announced last week:
