This beautiful blend of 55% Shiraz and 45% Granache, available from WineChateau.com , is a rich mouth-full of dark berries, black cherry and blackberry enhanced with pepper and spicebox with wisps of gentle smoke. The supple tannins add backbone without bite.
This is a unique offering of 777 Pinot Noir clone from Fred Nunes of Nunes Vineyards under their own wine label St. Rose Pinot Noir. Often considered a blending clone, this 777 Pinot offers up an rustic yet artistic flare. Rich well-balanced flavors of dark cherry and spice layered with plum with hints of smoke and saddle leather. A complex medium-bodied Pinot with supple tannins that will reward your attention.
A beautiful example of Oregon Viognier from Illahe Vineyards. Round flavors of ripe pineapple, honeydew melon, and citrus with hints of peach. An aromatic nose and soft acidity add to the complexity. Viognier is a great alternative to Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. It pairs very well with summer meals and grilled white meats.
Rich and complex with deep silky flavors of red cherry, raspberry and spice with a touch of rich saddle leather. Well balanced fruit with supple tannins add to the depth, creating a Pinot Noir that stands beautifully on its own or as a compliment to your meal. Another excellent offering by winemaker James MacPhail.

I’ll admit it, my guilty pleasure…butter and oak in a well-made Chardonnay. Rombauer has been the iconic standard bearer of this genre forever. Call it too big or overblown… I call it a delicious. The rich Carneros fruit produces well rounded flavors of tropical fruit, honeydew, ripe pear, peach and red apple that are enhanced by vanilla from toasty oak and decadent hints of creamy butter. A wine friend recently called Rombauer “Cougar Crack”… These cats obviously know a thing or two about good chardonnay! Rombauer Chardonnay paired wonderfully with grilled lemon-pepper chicken served with melons and berries topped with poppy seed dressing.
