Varietal %:	97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot
Appellation:	100% California
Barrel Aged:	41% of Blend
Alcohol:	12.2%

Winemakers Notes

The grapes for the Black Oak Cabernet Sauvignon come mostly from the Lodi area of California.  Cabernet Sauvignon likes the sandy soils and hot summer temperatures.  This wine was fermented in Stainless Steel tanks, then a portion was barreled down for aging.   A very bright, yet subtle wine with easy, red berry fruit characteristics.  The tannins are mild, warm and pleasant.  This Black Oak Cabernet Sauvignon is one of our strongest sellers.

Winemakers Notes
The grapes for the Black Oak Chardonnay come from the Lodi area of California. Fermented mostly in Stainless Steel tanks, a 12% portion was fermented and aged in American oak barrels. We have added a touch of Semillion to enhance the aromas and develop more floral integration. The two wines work very well together.

Winemakers Notes
The grapes for the Black Oak Sauvignon Blanc hail from the Central Coast of California, more specifically the Paso Robles area.  The grapes were fermented entirely in Stainless Steel tanks to preserve freshness and its crisp acidity.  This blend never fails to impress.  The floral components and the tropical fruit tones make this a perfect wine for entertaining on a hot day.

Varietal %:	98% Merlot, 2% Syrah
Appellation:	100% California
Barrel Aged:	46% of Blend
Alcohol:	13.95%

Winemakers Notes
This wine was harvested from two Central Valley locations near Santa Barbara, California. It was fermented in Stainless Steel tanks, then a large portion was transferred to barrels for aging. This is a very fruit–forward wine. In fact it is so fruity that it imparts sweetness that is not present. With a fine tannin structure, this wine is consistently smooth, all the way through to the finish. Overall, Black Oak Merlot is a very popular wine that “over-delivers” on taste.

Varietal %:	50% Pinot Grigio, 50% Garganega
Appellation:	100% Vento Italy
Barrel Aged:	3% of Blend was Barrel Fermented
Alcohol:	13.4%

Winemakers Notes

Veneto is a region in northeastern Italy that lies between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea.  The Black Oak 07 Pinot Grigio is a lovely blend of regional flavor. It is a fresh, dry wine with a lovely floral bouquet. A wine of medium-body and rich,layered flavors. We like this blend of Pinot Grigio and Garganega alone as an aperitif, or as a complement to shellfish, seafood, pasta or poultry.

100% Alexander Valley

Winemaker Notes:  A blockbuster Chardonnay on all fronts.  Fabulous grapes from the Alexander Valley floor, left to linger in the late summer sun.  Fermented entirely in Stainless Steel and then barrel aged for 9 months, where the wine underwent a partial secondary fermentation.  19% new French and American oak barrels.  A true Chardonnay-lovers delight, the wine is very well balanced, with a pleasing citrus acidity that nicely complements the buttery, toasted oak.  Creamy vanilla and crisp pear flavors intermingle on the pallate.  Long and luscious, yet finishes light and bright.  This will make a great summer wine all by itself and also quite versatile with many food pairings.

Alcohol:		14.41%
Titratable Acidity:		0.60 g/100mL
pH:		3.60
Residual Sugar:		0.04%
Malic Acid:		40 ppm

Winemakers Notes
The grapes for the 1221 Cabernet Cuvée were picked from small vineyards in Napa and Sonoma counties. Fermented and aged separately, all seven lots were left to develop their own complex characteristics. The wines were aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for an average of 16 months. The final blend was created six months prior to bottling to ensure the full integration of textures and flavors. The resulting wine is fruit dominant on the nose, ripe and brambly. The taste profiles include bold, vibrant, fleshy Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics. The wine is rich in texture, layered and full bodied. The oak tones are subtle yet continue throughout.

Considerable time was spent on perfecting the 1221 final blend. In addition to uniting the grapes from these two counties, the wine is also a combination of the refined French style wines and the bright fruit forward wines of the new world. What would seem to be a contradiction works surprisingly well in the case of the 1221.

Winemakers Notes
The grapes for the 1221 Fleur de Lys were picked mid-late September, from some of the most sought-after vineyards in Napa and Sonoma counties. The Viognier portion of the blend came from two unique vineyards close to the banks of the Russian River. The fog wanders up the river from the ocean, keeping the grapes cool in the summer. This cooling effect delays the harvest giving the flavors and aromas time to fully mature. The result is some of the most intense aromatics a white wine can contain. The Chardonnay portion of the blend came from the Carneros region in Napa and the Napa Valley floor. This regional combination provides the sweet fruit and fantastic structure.

 The taste profiles of the 1221 Fleur de Lys includes luscious ripe fruit flavors, a lively acidity and a harmonic finish that is intricate and refined. Full-bodied and rich in texture, Fleur de Lys will pair exceedingly well with a variety of dining selections. From a light luncheon to a swanky upscale dinner party, surprise your special guests with this unusual, refreshing offering that is 1221.
