Newest Release!
2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Will be released soon!
2009 Gewurztraminer
Retail Price: $14.95
Wine Club: $12.71
Our 2009 Gewurztraminer was fermented dry to accentuate the spice and floral character of this lovely summer and fall wine. With a nose of cooking spice, rose petals, and pears it pairs well with almost any lighter dish. The flavors of light spice, peaches, pears, and light apple make it great to sip on it's own as the summer days fade into fall.
2009 Viognier:
Retail: $14.95
Wine Club: $12.71
Our first release of the summer is our 2009 Viognier. With grapes sourced from the Bitner Vineyard it has come out the gates swinging. Bright tropical fruit and a hint of vanilla the nose gives just a hint of the floral character that will develop over time. The palate echoes the nose of tropical fruit but with more stone fruit and melon. It's a perfect sipper for the summertime or with summer salads and lighter dinners on the patio.
2008 Syrah:
ONLY 2 Bottles Left!
Retail: $19.95
Wine Club: $15.34
Released in January 2009 our Syrah is our signature red wine. The most promising red variety to come out of Idaho yet, it is smooth and just a bit spicy with amazing fruit character.
Originally a Rhone Valley varietal we do our best to use lighter oak in order to preserve the floral and fruit character of this fruit forward wine. The nose is black currant, black cherry, and black pepper followed by a palate of dark berry, cherry and spice finishing with a hint of raspberry.
We love this wine with almost any dinner but our personal favorite is to pair it with a medium rare prime rib shared and an Idaho baked potato!
2008 Merlot
Retail $18.95/750 ml; $7.95/375 ml
Wine Club: $16.11/750 ml;
$7.17/375 ml
Our 2008 Merlot, with its' aromas of berry and light oak, melds with flavors of cherry, caramel, and a hint of tobacco. Smooth and silky, it avoids the overly herbal character of Merlots with a tiny amount of spice to create a well rounded approachable character. Lighter tannins provide a smooth but structured mouth-feel to pull the elements of this versatile red together.
2008 Reserve Merlot
Retail: $21.95
Wine Club: $18.66
Old World French techniques blend with new world flavors in this new Reserve Merlot. Aged for 24 months in French Oak, with 6 months of aging on Chardonnay lees, it's rounded and smooth. The flavors of chocolate and cherry blend with the classic Idaho Merlot of herbal and light berry character. Great with Idaho lamb, barbeque pork and some local grass-feed beef.
Late Harvest Wines:
2009 Riesling
Retail: $14.95
Wine Club: $12.71
Our Late Harvest Riesling is sweet but not over the top. Smooth and mellow with a touch of apple, apricot, and a pleasingly sweet finish it is meant to be served as a compliment to a great meal with wonderful company. It also fares exceptionally well drizzled over fresh cut fruit and french vanilla ice cream as a dessert in it's own right.
