2005 Glass Ridge, Vintner's Select Chardonnay, California
CAL888

A rich core of pineapple-pear notes with buttery hints of toasty vanilla oak supported by just the right touch of acidity. Boldly rich, yet refreshingly crisp and clean, it is the Chardonnay right for all occasions.

2005 Grande Reserve de Beau-Rivage Bordeaux Élevé en fûts de chêne, France (90 Points)
BOR657

Begins with a soft mouth that evolves with mellow and velvety tannins. Marked by a fruity taste with light vanilla notes due to its maturing in oak barrels, this is an easy, pleasurable value wine to serve with poultry and white meats.

2008 Stone Briar, Sauvignon Blanc, California (90 Points)
CAL895

A bright, approachable style. Melon, guava and kiwi meld with honey-filled beeswax and that tell-tale scent of freshly-mown grass. The mouth is lively with zesty citrus displaying dry, crisp flavors of tropical fruit and melon. A crisp, refreshing finish.

This wine has a bright lemon-gold color with aromas of baked apple, poached pear, mango and melon. Filled with rich flavors of baked apple pie, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg, delicate honey over a spicy finish. Gold, 2010 San Francisco Chronicle International Wine Competition.

2006 Dragon Xanadu Chardonnay, Margaret River, Western Australia (90 Points)
AUS301

A pale straw color in the glass. Layered aromas of citrus, green apple and honeydew melon carry through to the rich, creamy palate, where balanced flavors of crisp, citrus, vanilla, caramel apple and apricots combine with nice acidity. The finish is clean and persistent.

2006 Hamilton Estates Merlot (90 Points)
CAL897

Deep, dark and delicious -- what else would you expect from our flagship Merlot? The nose is packed with cassis, plum, black tea and tobacco. These aromas quickly find their way to the palate where they seamlessly blend with berry, jam and earthy notes.

2008 Benedetta, Chianti DOCG, Italy (90 Points)
ITA675

The supple mouth-feel and focused taste of cherry flavors make this Chianti a pleasant traditional Tuscan wine. A base of Sangiovese with a touch of softening Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo grapes make a vibrant wine with a lively bouquet. A great pizza-and-salad classic red.
