SCHOTT ZWIESEL GOLD WINNER - 2008 SF Chronicle Wine Competition
GOLD MEDAL WINNER - 2007 Sonoma Harvest Fair
Our Dry Creek Estate Syrah just keeps getting better as the vineyard matures. It smells great, with toasted baking spice and ripe cherry aromas. The mouth is full of blackberry, plum, with a bit of cocoa and bacon. Sure, it's ripe, but it is balanced. Like many of you, we love Syrah that's big and beautiful.

2005 Diablita Red Wine
$16 per bottle
Rich and juicy blackberry, plum and black cherry flavors with an integrated band of French Oak. It has soft tannins and good balances, our Diablita goes well with grilled fare, like tri-tip and chicken, or by itself.
We think of a Diablita as a fun and slightly mischievious woman who enjoys life. In the spirit of our Diablita, we created the Diablita™ Tres Appellation Blend, a combination of Alexander Valley, Cole Ranch & Sonoma County fruit. This mélange of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah & Petit Sirah makes for a deliciously memorable, but unpretentious, experience.
Our Diablita would accept no less.
2005 Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley
Sonoma County California
$40 per bottle
This wine is very similar to the '04 Pinot, with black cherry, currant and vanilla bean aromas on the nose. The mouth has a bright, red cherry and berry core with supple tannins, balanced acidity and a long finish. Try this with a grilled rosemary-pork loin.

2005 Estate Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley
$28 per bottle
Ripe, but not overripe, big but balanced, our 2005 Dry Creek Estate Zinfandel is a Zinfandel lover's bottle of wine. It starts with terrific aromas of vanilla oak, plum and spice. The mouth has lots of juicy berry flavors, and a bit of chocolate, with good structure and a terrific finish. A great effort from nature, ably assisted by Winemaker Dick Schultz.
Enjoy.
