2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
Red wine aged in new American Oak barrels, the ripeness of the grapes,
and the small yield provided us with a distinctive & intense wine that
will further
develop with age. This delicious Cabernet has a full-flavored palate
unleashing luscious blackcurrant & chocolate undertones. Gold at the 2002 Arkansas State Fair & Bronze at the 2003 Wines of the South Competition Bottle: $10.99 | Full Case: $118.69
2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
This is a beautiful deep purple and ruby colored Cabernet with incredible
depth and flavor. The long barrel aging in French, American, and Hungarian
oak barrels integrated the oak characters, creating a rich undertone of
vanilla, toast and maple. This Cabernet enters the mouth with spicy tannins,
powerful berry fruit characters, then complemented by a backbone of fine-grained
tannins and balanced acidity.
This wine will continue to gain complexity in the bottle for years to come.
Try it with bold pasta dishes, grilled meats & game, and chocolate. "Best of Show" 2002

2001 Merlot
Deep plum in color with a rich ruby hue. Mouth-watering aromas of chocolate,
opulent black plums, and spicy oak with notes of cedar in the background
tantalize the senses, while this Merlot spills over with rich cherry fruit
flavors
and cassis. The gently clinging tannins and spice flavors combine to provide
a wonderfully pleasing depth and flavorful finish. Excellent with all food,
one bottle won’t last! Bronze Medal at the 2002 International Wine

2001 Reserve Merlot
From our now wildly successful 2001 vintage, our winemaker
used a barrel-by-barrel selection of our entire Merlot vintage in order
to
choose the richest, most complex lot which can dare to be called Reserve.
The Reserve was then aged for an additional year in French, Hungarian and
American oak so as to balance the wine’s powerful fruit with a more
refined
oak compliment. This sumptuous and velvety, full-bodied red is full of
aromas of plum and blackberry with lingering toasted oak undertones. The
finish is layered with cherries, orange blossoms and raspberry jam while
keeping the tannins exceptionally balanced as not to overpower. Double Gold at the 2003 Wines of the South Competition Bottle: $24.99 | Full Case: $269.89
2000 St. Mary's Mountain White
Treat your taste buds with this perfectly balanced desert wine made exclusively
from Niagara grapes. The bouquet is intoxicating with soft musky floral
notes and hints of dried fruits. Excellent layers of salivating sweetness
with honey, cooked pears, marmalade, pink grapefruits and a crispy citrus
acidity that leaves a cleansing, lingering finish begging another taste.
Tiny fruit yields and strict selection processes have meant that this exciting
dessert wine delivers a serious experience for a modest price. Once you
open this bottle of wine you won't want to put the cork back in the bottle.
Fantastic with dried or fresh fruits, nuts, cheeses, & cheese cake. Gold Medal at the 2002 International Wine Competition
