Allocation: 6 / 12 (Wine Club)                                        100% Viognier
Pale straw-yellow. On the nose, this wine shows tropical fruits like mango/melon, also apricot, pear, and white peach. Very fresh and flowery, it also has a spicy hint of green olives. Richly textured and medium bodied, it has a long spicy finish.

Allocation: 12 / 24 (Wine Club)        54% Grenache, 35% Syrah , 11% Mourvedre
Medium-full, soft and round on the palate, with authoritative flavors echoing the attractive bouquet. Soft, smooth, chocolatey tannins perfectly coated with rich, concentrated black-raspberry fruit. The big surprise comes at the finish, with an explosive display of spicy, complex aromatic fireworks and flavors that stain you palate for minutes.

1999 Cabernet Sauvignon “Vin de Terroir”               $50.00 retail price
Allocation: 6 / 12 (Wine Club)                100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Detailed, like fine jewelry. Spice. Dry spice like the smell from an old spice cabinet - paprika, cardamon.  The epitome of elegance. Certainly a big wine demonstrating muscle and intensity with excellent structure and balance. Tastes light and vibrant with unity in its elements. Amazing length. Medium-full bodied, it should age for many decades.

1997 Merlot                                                                $35.00 retail price
Allocation: 6 / 12 (Wine Club)   
75% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon
Expressing to perfection the untamed Renaissance mountain terroir, the wine is dark, deep, concentrated, and has lots of flavor.  This vintage is reminiscent of our 1993, with riper tannins, better balance, and smoother texture.  Uncork it tonight with a roast rack of lamb or beef stew (use one bottle in the sauce), or let it acquire even more complexity and harmony with more bottle age – up to ten years or so.

2006 Carte D’Or                                                        $20.00 retail price
52% Sauvignon Blanc, 48% Semillon
Allocation: 12 / 24 (Wine Club)
Very elegant and fairly lean – a true dinner wine with a nice underlying honeyed richness.  Appreciable purity of citrus flavors and very good balance.  A long finish which is strongly mineral.  Pronounced acidity without sharpness.

2004 Syrah “Estate”        REDS ONLY OPTION        $35.00 retail price
89% Syrah, 6%Cabernet Sauvignon, 4%Grenache, 1% Mourvedre
Allocation: 6 / 12 (Wine Club)
Deep, dark, and dense – look at the color! Meaty, hearty, and peppery. Very focused and exceptionally elegant for Syrah. Wonderful looooooong peppery finish. Very classically varietal and a bit more approachable than usual for a newly released Renaissance Syrah. Will age well and develop further for 15+ years.

54% Grenache, 26% Mourvedre, 20% Syrah
Allocation: 6 / 12 (Wine Club)
Aromatically, very intense, complex brambly fruit with blackberry and raspberry notes. Bright, vibrant, and vigorous on the palate with a very long spicy, refreshing finish; somewhat reminiscent of a southern Rhone wine, like Chateauneuf. Very pure, richly textured and well structured, with ripe, refined tannins. Enjoyable now, will age gracefully for at least 5-6 more years.

Classic nose with black cherry, blackberry espresso, tobacco and black pepper. Medium to full bodied, youthful with a solid tannic structure, perfectly balanced by it’s lively acidity and it’s mouth-coating ripeness.
