ROSÉ 2006
Lodi Appellation
Our Rhone-style Rosé was conceived for hearty red wine drinkers, who like some body on their summer cool thirst-quenchers.
Equal parts of Syrah and Grenache build layers of focused floral strawberry and grapefruit perfume on an off-dry cream soda base. Leave the bottle out for awhile and watermelon notes will begin to grow. Enjoy!

Gill Creek Ranch, Proprietary White Blend, Estate Bottled

Old Vine Zinfandel 2005
Gill Creek Ranch, Estate Bottled
Our Zinfandel delivers exactly what Lodi's renowned old vines are famous for: huge, almost decadent fruit. Smoky-clove-cinnamon-spiced cherries, raisins, and plums with a dash of black pepper waft from the glass. Imbibe for mouth-filling, creamy, almost sweet Boysenberries with molasses, smoky toasted oak, walnut and a long finish of black currants and dark grapes. Drop everything and reach for some barbecued spareribs, because you won’t find a better pairing.

Old Vine Barbera 2005
Home Ranch Carrú Vineyard, Estate Bottled
Estate bottled from my grandfather’s original vineyard in Lodi, we named our Barbera “Fiera del Bue Grasso” or “Fair of the Fat Ox”, after the main annual celebration of the wines, food, and cattle of his Piedmontese home town of Carrú. A fiery brick red cedar box filled with figs and strawberry jam lead to unmistakable spicy pure vanilla, tea, walnuts and bittersweet chocolate-covered cherries that linger on the finish and bring back found memories of our Italian lifestyle. A perfect match to classic tomato sauces and the meaty dishes of our family roots. 554 cases.
