Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon
Very pretty aromatics of cassis, raspberry, and smoke on the nose. Layered flavors of plum and cocoa develop into a rich palette of dark fruits with a hint of vanilla.

Brilliant garnet color with seductive rose petal green tea aroma. The palate is ripe with heavily extracted cherry and strawberry flavors with a slight astringency akin to pomegranate seeds.

Snap Dragon Cabernet Sauvignon
My focus with the Cabernet Sauvignon was to craft a wine with complex fruit characters, toasty oak, excellent balance and supreme deliciousness,” observes winemaker Robert Masyczek.

Snap Dragon's Chardonnay was picked at the peak of ripeness. To retain the bright, fruit-driven profile, they fermented the grapes in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures.

Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay Les Pierres 2005
WINEMAKER'S TASTING NOTES Les Pierres has some mystery and intrigue. It hints at rich, complex layers of depth but is not obvious and forward. Deeply aromatic and enticing, the wine exhibits aromas of orange blossoms, lime zest and minerals with subtle notes of sweet oak. Earthy, mineral highlights are pronounced in the mouth, complemented by citrus and green apple fruit, balanced by understated smoky notes. Elegant and delicate, the 1999 Les Pierres unfolds with more and more complexity, with a bright finish of berry sorbet and hints of caramel and crème brûlée. -Terry Ernest Adams
