2008 Chardonnay, El Dorado $18/bottle New Release
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.

(35% Chardonnay, 46% Estate Viognier, 19% Roussanne) Barrel fermented, 100% aged sur lie, partial ML. Frank’s remade a miracle…this wine shows aromas of lemon grass & Brule. The mid palate is full bodied with papaya, honeydew & fig with an overlay of hazelnut, vanilla. The complexity of three varietals make this a versatile food wine. 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! On the palate you notice this is a very full bodied wine with nicely integrated tropical fruit and an overlay of toasty French oak, and there is that hazelnut again. Very exotic. 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.

2007 Mourvèdre - $17/bottle
Can you say, “more-ved-ruh”? Perfumed aromas of crushed blackberries with a hint of toasty oak and clove. In the mouth the wine shows off full, round flavors of deep, black cherry & pomegranate, spice and a hint of mocha. It finishes bright & lush with a touch of minerality. Drink now through 2013.

2007 Petite Cuvee, El Dorado - $18/bottle
This is our proprietary red blend of 40% Petite Sirah, 30% Mourvedre,

your tongue and doesn't end until the bottle's gone! This wine traditionally

Pair with duck confit, grilled sausages and spicy ragu. Drink now to 2015.

2006 Cab Franc, Estate - $24/bottle Sold Out
Perfumed aromas of blackberry, coriander and cedar. Layers of cassis, violets and anise fill the mid-palate with a wave of soft tannins that close with a bright cherry finish. BRAVO! This wine will age very nicely -- too bad we only made 91 cases. This is a wine club wine so it’s only going to be on the bar for a very short time. Perfect with warm toasted walnuts, Anjou pears, blue cheese, pork veal and wild game. Drink now to 2016.
