Irony, Napa Chardonnay
The 2005 vintage will be remembered for its quality and its quantity. Most of our Chardonnay grapes are grown in the southern part of Napa Valley -- the Oak Knoll and Yountville areas -- and ensures a long growing season for the grapes that are crafted into the refreshing, balanced and elegant 2005 Irony Chardonnay.

This Napa Valley Chardonnay layers juicy tropical fruit and mineral notes with lively citrus, crisp green apples, rich cream and vanilla -- a veritable apple pie of flavors. Enjoy this wine with salad, oysters, mild cheeses, grilled fish, roasted chicken, creamy pastas or on its own!

Brazin Old Vine Zin – Lodi

Lodi is Zinfandel country – the grape thrives in the region’s Mediterranean climate and sandy soils. Located due east of San Francisco, Lodi experiences warm days and nights that are cooled by Pacific breezes funneled through the Carquinez Straits. The unique combination of climate, soil and old vines fosters small berry size which in turn leads to intense color and bold, complex flavors.

Once your eyes glimpse Brazin’s deep and inky color, they’ll alert your other senses to fasten their seat belts. Big, bold aromas of spice, blackberry and blueberry fill your nose, while intense flavors of blueberry, plum and cherry with rich tannins and vanilla mocha notes rock your palate. Brazin is a not a wine to be rushed – don’t be afraid to savor its long, lingering finish.
Be Brazin with your meals and serve with saucy ribs, a juicy pepper steak, pasta with spicy red sauce or pizza with the works!




337 Cabernet Sauvignon
337 delivers concentrated flavors that ignite the senses. The 337 clone is an early ripening grape with small berry clusters that deliver a bold, but luscious wine with spice and blackberry. The 337 clone is renowned for lacking the herbal and veggie characteristics that can detract from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.
The 337 Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 exhibits enticing aromas of toffee, black cherry and currant. Balanced tannins underscore core flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and currant, interlaced with roasted coffee bean and hints of black pepper.
This Cabernet Sauvignon can be enjoyed on its own or matches well with braised meats.
