2005 Hungarian Oak Merlot

Like the highly regarded 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, the 2005 Hungarian Oak Merlot is pleasantly drinkable, yet "a little different". Bright, ruby color with a nose of cherry, raspberry and spices.  Round, medium body with violet, black pepper and a hint of cloves in the palate - the spiciness typical of Hungarian oak barrels. Soft finish complemented by smooth tannins.  Pairs well with charcuterie, grilled meats and young cheeses.

Type of oak: Hungarian oak
Months in oak: 14 months
Alcohol: 13.0%

Harvest date: October 23, 2005

2007 Russian Oak Chardonnay

The only chardonnay in the world aged in Russian and Frenc oak barrels, which impart a subtle touch, avoiding the over-oakiness of California chardonnays and even appealing to drinkers of un-oaked steel-fermented chardonnay.

Round, supple and well balanced with good harmony. Good with shellfish, fish, meat with creamy sauces and hard cheeses. Serve at 50° F.
