Really big fruit in this wine!  Black cherry and the tartness of pie cherry dominate the pallet with a hint of cassis and mint!  This wine has aging potential and will drink better each year for the next four or five years.  Delicious now with a nice beef rib roast or slow cooked pot roast.

Bright dark color accentuates the bright and juicy cherry and raspberry flavors.  Balanced oak tannin of French barrels, the ample acidity with the fruit flavors makes this wine dare you to have just one glass!  Only 45 cases were produced!

The color is bright but not as dark as most of our wines from Bordeaux varieties, but has a lot of body.  Aromatic cherry and violets dominate with a hint of cigar tobacco on the nose.  The palate is bright cherry and ripe plum fruit, a bit of eucalyptus and fresh dill and the classic Cab Franc hint of steel.  Roast duck, grilled chicken, grilled halibut or short ribs should compliment nicely.

Rarely found as a varietal wine, Petit Verdot is one of the primary Bordeaux red grapes and is most often used as a blender.  This wine has a deep blue-red color.  The flavor is dark blueberry, a full mid-palate of cola and mocha with firm tannin and a lingering finish.  This is a big wine that can stand up to herbed meats like a garlic and rosemary roast prime rib or try it with a honeyed ham!

After a week on the skins, we pressed the Merlot grapes and continued the long, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks until stopping it with just the right amount of sweetness.  This process gave the wine a dark, red color.  With aromas of blueberry on the nose, the palate is all fruit, dominated by blueberry then strawberry, cherry and red plum.  It has a soft and rich, creamy texture with a bit of vanilla at mid-palate.

This wine is very fruity.  Starting with ripe lemon, then tropical fruit like banana, papaya, mango and a taste of honey.  It has a little sweetness, nice acidity and a lot of weight on the palate.  The color is a light straw yellow and is our favorite summer white that doesn't loose anything at fridge temperature.

The grapes for this wine are grown at 6,800' elevation on a farm owned by Bill and Denise Russell.  The vineyard was planted where an organic apple orchard stood six years ago.  The Lebanon area North of Cortez in the Montezuma Valley has the potential to be one of the best high altitude growing areas in Colorado.  The wine is off-dry and is honey gold in color.  It has cinnamon and nutmeg spice with fruit flavors of kiwi, apricot, mango and a little melon that compliment the creamy mouth feel.
