2010 Late Harvest Viognier

Reg. $24.00  Club $19.20

Our first dessert wine!  Our 2010 Late Harvest Viognier has all those gorgeous sweet stone fruit aromas you look for in a Viognier.  At 17.5 grams residual sugar, this sweet wine delivers those aromas and flavors but walks the dessert wine line flawlessly and avoids that cloying sweetness people can associate with dessert wines.  It's sweet but in a good way--we promise!

2009 Grenache

Reg. $42.00  Club $33.60

A big and juicy wine with licorice, lavender, and brown spice complimenting the crushed berry aromas. French oak puncheons provide the nose with rich vanilla notes and moderate the youthful tannin. On the palate, the wine is dense and gives the impression of brandied cherries, yet is balanced by bright acidity that leads to the long, fruity finish.

2009 Toasted Slope

Reg. $38.00  Club $30.40

A dark brooding Syrah with alluring aromas of rich fruit, cocoa, and sweet oak. Hints of leather and bacon fat twist their way through this dense web of blue and black fruits, showing solid Syrah varietal character throughout the nose and palate. The purity of the fruit continues through the finish, which is long with soft but perceivable tannin and a note of dried herbs.

2009 GSM

Reg. $38.00  Club $30.40

Dense and rich in color, with dark, brambly blackberry fruit in the nose bolstered by notes of crushed herbs and charred oak.  In the mouth, flavors lean toward chewy berry compote, with finely resolved tannin and exceptional concentration that lingers into the finish.
