2009 Helix Syrah 750 mL

A quick swirl of the glass shows off its deep garnet color and portends its silky mouth feel while energizing a beautiful nose of honeysuckle, blueberry and rich coriander. Soft, very fine tannins glide across the palate escorting baked blackberry, fresh ripe blueberry, a shaving of orange zest accompanied by sweet baking spice and a finger pinch of fresh cigarette tobacco. This is a perfect pairing for Moroccan lamb.

Bodhichitta Winery Oregon Rhubarb Fruit Wine 750ml

As my grandmother told me about her winemaking experience 50 years ago, her face began to glow radiantly, excited to tell me about her recipe for rhubarb wine. More than that, she and I were happy to connect on a deep level, touching our bodhichittas, our inner selves connecting with one another to share, love and understand. With great love we thank Grandma Wanda for this wonderful transformation of fruit into wine and hope her spirit shines radiantly through every sip.

2011 Purple Cow Vineyards Muscat (off dry) 750 mL

Our Muscat is always off-dry and always clear, clean, and crisp. To get the best Muscat, you have to pick later than you pick Pinot Noir so that the skin turns gold. The smell in the vineyard drives the animals crazy and it's a battle to keep the crop if it's a late season. It's showing very well now with a nose that reminisces of eating a peach in front of a waterfall. Serve with at least one hour's chill, but not too much - extreme cold will stifle the nose and flavor. This wine is the perfect bottle for a barbeque chicken, pork, or shrimp.

2009 Zaca Mesa Winery Z-Cuvee Santa Barbara County, Santa Ynez Valley 750 mL

It was another cold and dry winter in the Santa Ynez Valley. Spring was mild and long with plenty of cool sunshine to awake the vines. Summer was surprising cool, but we welcomed the usual heat spikes around early September. A threatening storm quickened our pace in mid-October, as we raced Mother Nature. The mild year provided great flavor development without excessive sugar for wines of great balance.

2011 Canoe Ridge Reserve Chardonnay 750 mL

The 2011 growing season was the coolest and longest on record. Similar to the 2010 vintage, 2011 began with a cool, wet spring that delayed flowering and lightened the crop set. The weather warmed up in mid-July, but temperatures remained moderate until late August. Verasion started late August, and extended well into September. The naturally low yields were then provided six weeks of consistently warm weather to help phenolic ripeness and flavor development. Overall, this vintage will show balance and elegant wines with crisp natural acidity and fruit forward flavors.

2009 Gordon Estate "Decadence" Columbia Valley Estate Red-Blend 750 mL

In 2009 we had serious concerns about our fruit ripening by harvest time as cold weather persisted well into May. Our hopes for the weather played out as the cool spring quickly transitioned into a hot summer, with record-breaking heat in July and August. However, as the midsummer heat wave persisted, it brought worries of overripe wines with little acid. Again the worst was avoided, thankfully, when temperatures eased in early September and remained rather cool except for a brief heat spike at mid-harvest. We patiently waited for flavor development and began harvesting our grapes on the 1st of October.

2012 Bell Chardonnay 750 ml

The 2012 growing season in Napa Valley was about as perfect as it could be for grape growing. An abundance of evenly ripened grapes gave winemakers the opportunity to take only the best fruit. A mild spring led to a near perfect pageant of spring bud break, steady flowering, and even fruit set. A long stretch of perfect summer days of the kind that grapes love - wide temperature swings, from the low 50s at night to at least 85 degrees every day gave them a long, slow ripening process. Fall rains held off until the grapes were safely delivered to crush pads. This vintage will be remembered as one of the best ever for the Napa Valley.
