2005 Chardonnay "Acier"
Chalk Hill
No oak, no malolactic, just whole cluster pressed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Incredible aromas of honeysuckle, passion fruit, grapefruit and and ... more pippin apple. Crisp, clean and bright, it all culminates in a lengthy acid finish.

2003 London CAB
A little wild, a little reckless, and a whole lotta red. This cab starts off slow and easy, but revs up onto a fun, full-bodied, fruit-driven wine in no time, Flavorfully rich, che ... morerry red, and oh-so-berry, it's nothing short of ready for action, and one of the greatest finds in all of old country... and new, for that matter.

Syrah
|
2003 Estate Syrah
Chalk Hill
Already in the bouquet it shows clearly characters of smoke, bacon, salt / barnyard. This shows up when you taste the wine, just leave the barnyard out and add a heavy dose of tann ... moreins and hints of acids, green pepper, pork, and herbal flavors.

Zinfandel
|
2003 Estate Zinfandel
Chalk Hill
Bay leaf fills the nose while lavender and wild peppermint add a touch of sweetness to the finish. Rich, intense, and incredibly food-friendly.
