2004 Flora Springs
“Holy Smoke”
Cabernet Sauvignon


Tasting Notes:
Forward fruit flavors of cherry and berry characteristics glide into big, clean Syrah-like spice and licorice flavors mid-palate. The soft tannins are firm and fully integrated into the wine and the delightful hint of oak will allow it to cellar beautifully for the next several years.

Food Pairing:
Any Bone-in Steak

2005 Chatter Creek Syrah
“Lonesome Spring Ranch”
Yakima Valley, WA

Tasting Notes:
The wine shows this with its rich purple color, and aromas. Hints of blackberry, sage and plum. Racy acidity with flavors of black plum, blackberry, cassis and rosemary in this richly extracted, well-balanced classic Syrah. Firm tannins hold the experience in balance.

Food Pairing:
Grilled Veal Chops
or N.Y. Strip Steak
2001 Château d’Yquem
Sauternes, France

Tasting Notes:
Golden hue and an almost green tint.  Intense aromas of botrytis, spices and almonds follow through to honey, maple syrup, dried apricot and pineapple.         Full-bodied, sweet thick and powerful.

Food Pairing:
Nothing! You don’t want to spoil the experience.

with a burst of dark red fruits
on the finish.
