This
year's sauvignon blanc was so special we did not dare blend it
with any semillon for fear of diminishing its astounding character.
This wine is truly a definer of the vintage. It must have four
times the flavor of our 1998 (which is a delightful wine) and
close to twice the acidity level! Aromatically, it is full of
fresh herbs and the essence of grapefruit. If the sauvignon blanc
wines of the Loire Valley grab you, check this out. Limited.

No one seems
to take rosé wines seriously, but I love them. Every bit
of effort that goes into our other wines also goes into this wine.
Although it is a lot of work to make a rosé right, I do
it because there is nothing better in life than sitting down to
a simple summer lunch accompanied by a cool glass of this pink
nectar. Very limited.
