 Chardonnay 2006
$16.00
Our Chardonnay comes from a
cool vineyard in Calaveras County where the site is well know for the production
of this grape. The vines are 20 years old and produce a spicy and flavorful
wine. It has lively, tangy acidity with flavors of apple and a touch of melon.
The flavors and crispness of the Chardonnay come from cold fermentation and
aging in stainless steel. It is a dry, well-balanced wine that should be served
slightly chilled. This wine pairs well with most fish dishes, salads and
chicken. |
 Sangiovese Rosato 06
$15.00
Our Sangiovese Rosato comes from a long line of award winning rosés.
This vintage scored 91 points in the California State Fair and was
awarded Best of Class of the Sierra Foothills appellation. This wine
contains the predominant grape found in the Chianti wine of Italy, but
ours is light pink with crisp citrus and strawberry aromas and flavors.
It is a dry, well-balanced wine that should be served slightly chilled.
It is wonderful for sipping when you want a light, fruity patio or
picnic wine. It also goes well with lighter dishes such as shell fish,
chicken and turkey. This is a great holiday wine when you are trying to
please a variety of different palates. It is definitely a people
pleaser. For a surprise, also try it with spicy food. |
 Grenache
2006 Sold Out
$24.00
Our 2006 Grenache is reminiscent of a fine Pinot Noir due to its
light, fruity flavors It is smooth yet elegant with a marvelous structure
and mouth feel. You will taste subtle yet complex flavors and an
interesting finish. Although this Grenache is characteristically light in
color, it was not blended. We wanted to keep the distinctive flavors of
black currant and blackberry with a touch of vanilla from the oak it which
it was aged. Enjoy the wine now or lay it down to smooth out the tannins
even more. We recommend this wine with any meal where a lighter style wine
would be appropriate such as lamb or pork tenderloin.

 Sangiovese 2005 ALMOST GONE
$34.00
Our Sangiovese is a wine that we think surpasses the best of the
Italian
Chiantis. It won a gold medal in the Calaveras County Fair Wine
Competition, a Silver Medal (90 points) in the prestigious California
State Fair Commercial Wine Competition and a Silver Medal in the SF
Chronicle Wine Competition. ;
yet develop aromas and flavors that speak of cherry, pomegranate, and
hard
candy. The mouth feel is full with both fruit tannins in the mid-palate
and a
long, smooth finish. This wine was aged for 18 months in older French
oak to
prevent over-oaking, concentrate the flavors and smooth the wine. It is
full-bodied enough to serve with marinated leg of lamb, barbequed beef,
or any
elegant meal that can stand up to a powerful and still subtle wine.Click

Sangiovese 2006
$28.00 NEW RELEASE!
Our Sangiovese has been a favorite throughout the years. As with the previous year, the grape was produced in
very small quantities in order to promote the color and intensity of
the wine.
This year you will find lacey floral aroma, a touch of violets, like in a spring day dream, leading down a wooded path. Stop here at a bench to watch the clouds go by. Here light cranberries and licorice emerge and make way to a hint of golden cream.
A nice balance between the fruit and tannins make this wine a delight with almost any meal and a great sipping wine to accompany your thoughts.

marvelous structure and mouth feel. You will love the subtle
complexity, the interesting finish and moderate acidity. The wine

Syrah Port
$26.00
New Release
In 2005 ZMV created a new style of port that tastes
more like a liqueur than a port. It has been a HUGE success ever since. It is
rich, fruity and full-flavored with zing. Our port is a dessert wine made for
sipping after dinner or even poured over ice cream, either chocolate or
vanilla. You could also try it with blue cheese. If you like a lot of fruit in
your dessert wine you will love our port. |
