2006 The Oracle, Napa Valley Red Wine
The Oracle is a Bordeaux-style blend inspired by the ancient Greek Oracle, the center of prophecy and wisdom. The fruit for this wine is sourced from Napa Valley’s renowned Stagecoach Vineyard. The blend changes each year based on what we believe makes the best wine from what nature has given us. This is an elegant, full-bodied wine with layers of cocoa, spicy oak and lush blackberry that promises to drink handsomely for at least a decade.

Napa's rugged eastern hills once again reveal an uncanny ability to produce full-throttle, age-worthy Merlot.

2007 Sangiovese, Gibson Ranch
Brimming with red berry fruit, cocoa and warm cedary notes, our
Sangiovese is made from grapes grown in Mendocino by third-generation
vineyard owner Bob Gibson. This wine exhibits a great balance of ripe
fruit, tannin and fresh acidity. Our Sangiovese complements a wide
range of foods with a particular affinity for tomato-based pasta dishes.Appellation: 100% Mendocino, Gibson Ranch

2008 Viognier, Simpson Vineyard
Aromatically
complex with citrus and honeysuckle notes on the nose and a plush feel
on the palate, our Viognier consistently displays a fine balance of
natural acidity and intense concentration. Sourced from John Simpson's
low-yielding vineyards in Madera, this quintessential food wine was
whole-cluster pressed and stainless-steel fermented to allow the
vibrant, tropical and stone fruit characteristics of this varietal to
shine.
