2009 Maple Ranch Pinot Noir
Focused black cherry and wild strawberries. On the palate,
finely knit tannins offer the perfect foil to the multi layered
flavors of fruit and earthy spice. Oak plays only a supporting
role, adding subtle vanilla and spice without intruding on the
wines purity.
Sorry - Sold out till 2011 vintage is ready!
2010 Fly Over Red
Fly Over Red offers soft and
generous flavors of blackberry, black currant and
pomegranate with toasty vanilla spice and fine herbs
adding complexity.


2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
A ripe, plush Cabernet Sauvignon with a sense of freshness that makes it very food friendly. Wild blackberries and cherry mingle nicely with a touch of fresh
herbs and spice. Oak plays only a minor role in this wine, letting the quality of the fruit speak for itself.
2007 Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is distinguished by its nose of herbs, tobacco and
forest. The fruit plays a more subtle roll than in Cabernet Sauvignon
or Merlot and shows a touch of savory as well. While this
2007Cabernet Franc is ready to drink on its release in the fall of
2011, it still seems a little shy when the cork is first pulled. We find
that as little as an hour of aeration in a decanter really brings the
wine together and reveals all of its attributes.
2008 Syrah Port
In 2008 we found ourselves presented with a small block of Syrah that had achieved a level of ripeness not often seen in these parts. The very high level of ripeness and its accompanying sugar development and small berries give depth and concentration needed to balance such a powerful wine. Two years of aging in older French oak barrels rounded out the edges, yet left intact a beautiful core of black fruits and Christmas spices. Its perfect setting in our opinion is paired with candied walnuts and a wedge of Stilton cheese.
2006 Port
100% Cabernet Sauvignon produced entirely from the impeccably farmed Del Rio Vineyard near Gold Hill in the warmer eastern reach of the Rogue Valley AVA. Very rich aromas of sweet currents and raisins continuing on the palate where they are joined by brown sugar and bright black cherries on a moderately sweet, unctuous frame balanced by a subtle acidity. Hints of tobacco and mineral. Mouthwatering, lingering finish of currants, plums and raisins. This wine requires no further bottle aging, though it will be interesting to see what happens with age.
2011 Moscato
Peachy-floral aromas that leap from the glass, while the palate is light and lively thanks to the petulant touch of the tiny bubbles that balance out the juicy sweetness.

2008 Riesling Late Harvest
Honey, apricot, figs, poached pears and clove are woven into heady aromatics and fabulous flavors. While intense and concentrated, the fine balance achieved in this wine allows the sweetness to enhance the flavors yet not overwhelm the palate with sticky sweetness. While enjoyable in its youth, for the sweet fruit character and clean finish, this unique white wine has the potential to age well and evolve into a complex and nuanced wine over many more years.
