2010 Alexander Valley Rosé of Syrah

This is a sophisticated, thirst quenching, flavorsome wine (strawberries with a long finish and fantastic nose).  Forget those blush wines you may have tried in the past, this is the real McCoy: dry, fruity and as good as anything from Provençe with all the benefits of being 100% American.

$16.75 per bottle

Deeply colored, floral and berry nose with emphasis on violets, plum and blackberries with hints of tobacco and green pepper.  Excellent texture and softness in the mouth with the  subtlety of balanced, integrated tannins.  An elegant, refined and seductive wine to enjoy now or cellar for the future.

$28 per bottle

Deep, dense color, on the nose loaded with floral and berry, with emphasis on peonies, violets, cassis, raspberries and black currants, followed by woodsmoke with trace hints of bacon fat and a creamy finish.  Balanced and rounded tannings.  Great with lamb, red meat or cheese
