Paul Dolan’s organic vineyards create a soft medium-bodied Zin that goes down with an easy smile. Brighter than many Zinfandels, it has enough jaminess to balance the dark cherry, peppery spice and tobacco flavors highlighted with a touch of saddle leather. Serve this wine at your next back yard BBQ.

Patianna Organic Vineyards consistently serves up a beautiful, clean, crisp organic Sauvignon Blancs at an excellent price. Fermented in stainless steel, no oak and no ML fermentation creates a flavorful wine of pineapple, melon and minerality with a just hint of green apple. The acidity balanced with a creamy finish sets this wine apart.

Belle Glos Taylor Lane is a rich, voluptuous and sporty Pinot Noir. Concentrated berry flavors combined with supple tannins create a beautiful layered wine for hearty food or to just enjoy on its own. Notes of dark cherry, blueberry, cola and spicebox with hints of smoky oak and leather create a jammy delicious Pinot Noir.

The Crusher Chardonnay sports a richness found in more expensive wines. Round flavors of toasty caramel, vanilla crème brûlée and melted butter marry nicely with notes of pear and grilled pineapple. While rich (but not a butter-bomb), this is a balanced wine with enough minerality and acidity to pair well with food.
