This Chardonnay is that ideal balance between richness and brightness.  Peach, pineapple, and honesuckle play with the hints of lemon citrus and subtle vanilla spice.  

El Tinto Lot 43—This Zinfandel/Barbera blend spotlights the dark berry fruit of Zin with the red fruit characters of Barbera. A big wine with a huge entry of cherry and boysenberry, the 77% Zinfandel in the blend drives the wine all the way into the mid-palate where the 23% Barbera starts to take charge with its cranberry/red cherry focus (and balancing acidity). The finish, though, rounds back to berry flavors of Zin, lingering with an intertwining pinch of sweet vanilla oak. Great with barbecue and comfort foods alike!

The aromas immediately transport your thoughts to Southern France with dark cherry, fresh strawberry and hints of cocoa.  The entry is rounded and bold, showcasing more of the ripe cherry aspects with layers of spice and a dash of sweet molasses.  

Peaches, white nectarine and orange zest jump from the nose on this wine.  With the palate's bright acidity and hint of sweetness, this Riesling perfectly achieves the balance of a great off-dry wine.  And it will only get better!

The aromas really embrace the black pepper aspects of the variety with other savory spices layering throughout. More mountain red fruit builds with each sniff as plum and subtle soy sauce lend even more complexity. The entry on this wine is mouth-filling but not overly luscious as riper Zins sometimes are. There’s a striking density to the wine both in color and texture as the first sip floods the senses. Darker berry fruit with that pinch of spice fills the mid-palate while embracing the cool-climate acidity, keeping the wine fresher and more inviting.
