Just delicious! Nice tropical flavors of ripe pineapple and Meyer lemon with vanilla crème. Rich and round mouth feel with a touch of minerality and acidity. Barrel aging adds a hint of the buttery without overpowering.

Van Duzer offers a salmon colored 100% Pinot Noir Rosé that will party on your palate and be the star of your summer grilling gala. This lovely dry wine opens with a pop of strawberry, red cherry, watermelon, light spice and herb. Perfect with lighter grilling fare like salmon or chicken.

Like a shy girl, Yorba Zinfandel is a bit tight at first pour but opens into a beautifully structured and slightly complex wine. Dark rich flavors blackberry, raspberry, dark cherry, bramble and spice are complimented by supple tannins.

Yorba Wines has created a beautiful American-style Rioja (Tempranillo). Plenty of dark red fruit, raspberry, blackberry, plums, etc. A touch of chocolate and spice with soft tannins add depth and structure. Blending with 5% Graciano provides a splash of acidity and brightness.

A manly dry Rosé full of depth and structure. Belle Glos “Oeil de Perdrix” Pinot Noir Blanc, is perfect as a stand-alone sipper or paired with the likes of grilled salmon or chicken. Pinot Noir flavors of strawberry, cranberry, raspberry, spice and a hint of rich rhubarb create a summer wine you won’t want to put down.
