Cellar/Tasting Notes
A knockout Chardonnay with an arresting hazelnut-butterscotch bouquet and the richness, texture, complexity and palate refreshing acidity of a $50 wine. Bravo! Our best-selling mid-priced Chardonnay.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"There is no typographical error – the current release is the 1995 Chardonnay Cuvee LD. This reasonably priced white was bottled without filtration in August, 1996. Nearly fifteen years later, it still exhibits a light straw color with only a hint of gold. The wine is amazingly youthful, offering..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... Firm tannins frame an expressive core of dark red cherries, flowers and sweet herbs. The inner perfume of Zinfandel resonates on the finish... it is quite beautiful..."

"Bright saline notes frame expressive fruit in the 2010 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast. A beautifully layered wine, the 2010 impresses for its length, finesse and balance.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard is a gorgeous, expressive wine laced with sweet red berries, spices and flowers. The inclusion of 10-15% whole clusters gives the wine its aromatic lift. This is all subtlety and class. The delicate, sensual style is immensely appealing."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montana’s inky purple color is followed by a rich, sumptuous bouquet of espresso roast, melted chocolate, black currants, charcoal, and subtle background oak. Full-bodied and dense with silky tannins as well as a slightly more velvety texture and opulence than..
