2008 Chardonnay, El Dorado $18/bottle
We thought the last vintage was our best…hmm, you be the judge. This Chardonnay’s aroma is enough for the discussion to stop right there! But, wait, taste that beautiful balance and rich texture. Made in Frank's classic, signature style: whole berry pressed, barrel fermented, non-malolactic style, aged sur lie. Aromas of apricots, peaches, mangos and a velvet touch of French Oak precede the vanilla spice mid-palate and focused, lemon cream, bright, lengthy finish. A stunning, full bodied, richly textured vintage! Pair with roasted lamb, lemon orzo, smoked salmon, herb marinated goat cheese salad. Drink now - 2012.

Pair it with “full flavored” foods: rich soups, salty charcuterie & cheese plates, fresh shellfish, grilled salmon, & salads. Drinking now – 2012.

2008 DUNAMIS Blanc, Estate - $22/bottle
100% Estate Roussanne, Barrel Fermented, aged sur lie , no ML
Crystal clear with a deep golden hue lets you know this is something different than what you might be used to. Aromas of honeyed figs and hazelnut, Wow!

A tremendous wine for a meal. Pair with grilled pancetta wrapped figs, fresh grilled fish, herb marinated goat cheese salad, grilled pork tenderloin with spiced chutney, and fantastic with roasted turkey with all the trimmings! Drinking now - 2014.
