Holiday 2007
It’s a terrific time to visit
the wine country!
With our last big rush (Thanksgiving weekend and
our annual Holiday Open House) behind us, our
tasting room tends to slow down this time of
year. And because the crowds have thinned out,
now is your chance to visit our winery and enjoy
some quality one-on-one time with our
experienced and knowledgeable tasting room
staff. Not only have we released an exciting new
wine (see 2005 Old Vine Zinfandel below), but we
also have great gift giving ideas for the wine
lover in your life. We’re open every day from
10:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., until December 23
(we are closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day).
|
|
|
From our family to yours, we wish you a safe,
happy, and healthy holiday season!

From our just
released
2004
The Mariner, comes
an exquisite bottle for your
holiday gatherings. Our
3-liter of 2004
The Mariner
(that’s the equivalent to
four regular bottles of
wine), will make a terrific
showpiece for any table.
These etched and hand
painted bottles are truly
one-of-a-kind. Enjoy this
wine now (we recommend
slowly decanting before
serving), or cellar this
beauty for 10, 20 or even 30
years. Whatever you decide,
get one now as we only have
20 available for sale.
This bottle is
available through
our Tasting Room at
800-864-9463 x106,
or from our
Online Store. |

"Top 10 Proprietary
Red Blends of 2007" |

"Embodying
the
evolution
of the
winery’s
Meritage
program,
The
Mariner
is a
noble
blend of
Cabernet
Sauvignon
(46%),
Merlot
(40%), Malbec
(6%),
Cabernet
Franc
(5%) and
Petit Verdot
(3%) from
several of
the finest
vineyards in
the Dry
Creek
Valley.
Appealing
aromas of
mocha, light
vanilla,
black
cherry-raspberry
and wilted
roses. Ultra
smooth with
medium
tannins, the
flavors are
rich,
succulent
and nicely
concentrated,
melding
black
cherry-cassis
fruit, mocha
and subtle
white
pepper. An elegant,
stylish
wine
with a
subtle
peppery
finish."

It’s
FINALLY here! On December 1, the highly
anticipated release of our 2005 Old Vine
Zinfandel had the entire winery buzzing. |
|
Perhaps one of the finest vintages in
recent memory, 2005 was a nearly perfect
year for Zinfandel. In our old vine
vineyards, the crop was rather small and
therefore we have an extremely limited
quantity of this delicious wine. With
less than 500 cases in our tasting room
for all of 2008, this wine is sure to
sell out quickly. In fact, it is
so limited and in such demand, that we
have had to place a 6 bottle limit on
orders.
