    2007 CABERNET FRANC
  • Appellation: Colorado
  • Winemaker: Guy Drew
  • The color is bright but not as dark as most of our wines from Bordeaux varieties, but has a lot of body. Aromatic cherry and violets dominate with a hint of cigar tobacco on the nose. The palate is bright cherry and ripe plum fruit, a bit of eucalyptus and fresh dill and the classic Cab Franc hint of steel. Roast duck, grilled chicken, grilled halibut or short ribs should compliment nicely.

    2009 SWEET MERLOT
  • Appellation: Colorado
  • Winemaker: Guy Drew
  • After a week on the skins we pressed the Merlot grapes and continued the long, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks until stopping it with just the right amount of sweetness. This process gave the wine a dark red color. With aromas of blueberry on the nose, the palate is all fruit, dominated by blueberry then strawberry, cherry and red plum. It has a soft and rich creamy texture with a bit of vanilla at mid-palate.

    2009 RIESLING - RUSSELL VINEYARD
  • Appellation: Colorado
  • Winemaker: Guy Drew
  • The grapes for this wine are grown at 6,800’ elevation on a farm owned by Bill and Denise Russell. The vineyard was planted where an organic apple orchard stood six years ago. The Lebanon area north of Cortez in the Montezuma Valley has the potential to be one of the best high altitude growing areas in Colorado. The wine is just off-dry and is bright with a green apple tint in color. It has fruit flavors of lime, apricot, and a little French melon that compliment the mouth watering finish.
