CURRENT RELEASES
2009 Barbera Rosé (Sierra Foothills)
We have long believed that Barbera was a
perfect candidate for a Rosé, given its refreshing acidity, exhuberant fruit and vibrant color. Our Rosé lives up to this promise, showcasing the more developed end of the red berry spectrum, with raspberry & cherry dominating over strawberry. A wine with true panache, perfect by itself or supremely versatile at the table. Truly the red wine lover’s white wine !
Gold, 2010 Orange County Fair; Silver, 2010 El Dorado County Fair; Silver, 2010 Amador County Fair.

2007 BARBERA (Sierra Foothills)
A wisp of oak mixed with jammy, berry notes in the bouquet promise an even more intense Barbera than its predecessor. Big in the middle with a rich creaminess marked with plum and blackberry flavors. Finally on the finish the oak reappears with a lingering smokiness. Too much intensity to pair with pasta and a simple tomato sauce. Try something on the grill with a big spicy BBQ sauce instead.
Silver, 2010 Amador County Fair.
> Price: $25 (750ml) [ Back to Top ]
2008 ZINFANDEL (Sierra Foothills)
Aromas of ripe raspberry and blackberry tell you what to expect. The berry flavors continue through the taste. There is a silky middle mixed with light tannins. The silkiness extends the berry character through to a clean, lingering finish. The friendly tannins would lead to pairing with some nicely marbled beef or perhaps with duck. Maybe just a burger on the grill!

2008 Pandora No.1 (Sierra Foothills)
A harmonious blend of Chardonnay, from the 25 year old Jewett Vineyard next door and, from our own estate vineyard, Sauvignon Blanc and some Semillon. Truly the best of the top 2 favorite white varieties around, displaying a "Pandora" of flavors and aromas, and a refreshing crispness (Pandora also happens to be a sister moon, around Saturn, of Titan, so our white and red blends are truly a family affair !)
Silver & Best of Class, 2010 Amador County Fair.

2007 Fleur de Lune (Sierra Foothills)
This off-dry blend combines Muscat Blanc, Orange Muscat and Gewurztraminer. The initial slight touch of sweetness is perfectly balanced by a vibrant acidity, providing a refreshing finish. The tug-of-war between these dominant grape varieties results in a tasting equivalent of a M.C. Escher optical illusion, where each variety takes turn in dominating your palate. Quite intriguing and very sensuous! Pairs very well with asian spicy dishes and citrusy desserts.

2008 Malbec (Alta Mesa)
This wine has a lovely, deep burgundy red color and a subtle dark berry aroma. Intense, velvety, seamless texture, from the rich beginning to the long, lingering finish. Smooth and silky, soft tannins, with a hint of bittersweet cocoa at the end. Try it with "boeuf bourguignon" or veal marsala.

2006 Petite Sirah (Sierra Foothills)
We love Petite Sirah and produce several editions, each from a different vineyard source. This Sierra Foothills offering displays an intense color and a full body. A rich and smooth mouth feel, and notes of plum. The lively flavors carry through to a long, lush finish. This Petite may be enjoyed on its own, but would also be a good match for any roasted meat dish.

2007 Prt - pronounced "port" (Sierra Foothills)
Big, rich texture, at first dominated by dark fruit - plum, black cherry and cranberry attest to the Tempranillo and Petite. If you hold the wine on your palate, however, the Barbera makes it's statement with red cherry and raspberry. Lengthy finish is lush and warm without any alcoholic heat.

2006 Petite sirah (Clarksburg)
A velvety beginning without the tannic astringency of many Petite Sirahs. The subtle opening plum/berry fruit intensifies in mid-palate, continuing to a lush, lingering finish. Great with steak, but wonderful on its own.
Silver, 2010 CA State Fair; Silver, 2010 El Dorado County Fair.

2005 cabernet franc (Sierra Foothills)
Finished in a more traditional Bordeaux style, this wine gives you extra body and crispness and a somewhat deeper color than is typical of this varietal, adding to its flexibility with foods. The subtle varietal floral/violet aroma notes will intensify with aging. Beside matching nicely with lamb (with a little bit of fat), it will work well with marbled beef and you can even pair it with meat pizza for a casual meal.

2005 TEMPRANILLO (Sierra Foothills)
Our Tempranillo is a wonderful Sierra Foothills rendition of this variety idolized in Spain and rapidly gaining popularity in this part of the world. This medium-full body red wine continues the tradition of its much celebrated (double gold medal winner) 2004 predecessor, combining intensity and smoothness, as well as great oak integration complementing the fruit with rich vanilla & toffee notes.

> Price: $23 (750ml) [ Back to Top ]
2005 Titan IX (Sierra Foothills)
A powerful blend of Tempranillo & Petite Sirah, combining the best of each varietal, but with both allowed to express itself fully.
Silver, 2010 El Dorado County Fair.

PRE-RELEASES
2006 TEMPRANILLO (Sierra Foothills)
In a slightly different style than our2005 Tempranillo, the 2006 is displaying more restrained oak and, reflecting differences in the growing season, a bit more fruit and boldness. This wine also perpetuates a hallmark of our Tempranillos, namely, great flexibility in food pairing.

2005 Titan X (Sierra Foothills)
In the tradition of not releasing any wine before its time, we decided to bottle-age this red blend long enough for any rough edges to fade away and for the components to integrate. Not surprising, since the two component varietals also benefited from some bottle aging on their own for their single varietal releases. Of all our Titan blends, this one will be the most suitable for cellaring, although it is very approachable right now.
