NEW! 2006 Nebbiolo
The 2006 Nebbiolo from the Musso Family Vineyard features a special selection of Nebbiolo budwood with an excellent lineage that we have planted at our 2,400 foot site in El Dorado County. The fruit was harvested the first week in October in pristine condition and reflecting our high hopes for the incredible bouquet that Nebbiolo is renowned for. This special bottling is our first effort with this rare varietal, not often seen in California.

NEW! 2007 Viognier Wine
Our 2007 Viognier Wine returns to a dry white style Rhone wine with lots of complexity from the vineyards. The Honeychurch vineyard in Shenandoah Valley has some of the smallest Viognier berries to be found, and is our most intensely perfumed wine of the blend. Our other selection is from the Fenaughty vineyard high in the hills of El Dorado County. This high country fruit provides a balancing act of bright fruit acid and wonderful minerality. The Roussanne, also from El Dorado County is once again from a unique vineyard setting, as it perches on the edge of a cliff overlooking the South fork of the American river. This cooling effect helps build the intense almond and butterscotch notes in the wine.
