When you think of the finest red wines in the world, you often think of wines made with Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant grape in the Bordeaux region of France and has spread to every other major growing region. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape produces distinctive wines of complexity and long aging potential with taste characteristics of dark cherry, tobacco, cedar and black currant.

The 2003 Chardonnay Amourette is perfect for sipping on a warm summer afternoon. The aroma has tropical overtones of pears, quince, honeysuckle and guava. The initial crisp, zesty flavor is complemented by the subtle butterscotch finish. More than just a “passing fancy” it is perfect with fish, crab or shrimp dishes and will enhance the flavors of white meats like chicken or pork but quite frankly, this wine is worthy of simply enjoying all by itself.

The 2002 Merlot Amour has a deep ruby color with an exciting array of flavors and aromas. The wine shows raspberries and strawberry jam on the nose with hints of violets and cassis. Liquorices, coco and chocolate combine on the palate with velvety tannins as proof of the superior structure. We love this wine so we called it Amour. We hope that you will find our Amour Merlot to be the perfect wine for those special occasions with your most loved friends and family.

The Van Noy family has developed a visually impressive set of Pinot vineyards. Situated in the Russian River appellation close to the border of the Dry Creek appellation their private valley vineyards surround their own lake stocked with fish and ducks. The unique microclimate in this saucer shaped valley develops fruit of intense black color and cherry flavor both of which hint at a great Pinot. Previously grapes from these vineyards were used to make a 60 case lot of the 2002 MacPhail Pinot Noir which received a 90 rating by Wine & Spirits Magazine.
