2006 Signorello Seta White Wine
This barrel fermented blend of 60 % Semillon, 40% Sauvignon Blanc is made in the style of a traditional white Graves from Bordeaux.  This full bodied wine has a spicy nose offering hints of passion fruit, peach, pear, and honeydew melon. Crisp flavors of fresh fruit balance the rich vanilla and mineral overtones. The long juicy finish
lingers with aftertastes of vanilla and pear. Drinkability: 2007-2015.

2005 Donati Cellars Claret
As our youngest vineyards begin their journey of growth and prosperity, we separate their fruit into our Claret program. These younger vines produce fruit that offers up-front flavors with modest complexity and forward fruitiness. Crafting a Bordelais blend that is approachable early can be a challenging task for a winemaker, particularly when the grapes have great intensity of flavor. For this vintage, we selected lots of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petite Verdot that offer this balance with supple fruit and structure. The resulting blend shows ripe red fruit on the nose, with dark fruit, chocolate and dusty notes on the palate. Well-integrated tannins give the wine an easy-drinking style that will satisfy now, and continue to improve in bottle for several years to come.

2004 Owl Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine displays classic Cabernet Sauvignon flavors, with rich dark fruit aromatics and lovely black fruit on the palate complemented by notes of chocolate, sage and tobacco. It is ready to drink now, with well developed tannins, but will continue to soften and develop for several more years.

2005 Edge Cabernet Sauvignon
The opulent and lush cherry nose is balanced with a rich palate of deep black cherry and currant with a slight note of vanilla. The medium bodied palate continues with flavors of chocolate, spice, and sweet oak on the finish. The long finish is accentuated by structured, yet silky tannins. Drinkability: Now to 2011.
