Dark red color with a cigar box, smoky nose. Soft mellow fruit, almost sweet fills the mouth. Good acid balance and soft oak flavored tannins leave a pleasant aftertaste. A true North- Coast Cab.

Malbec

Deep, dark color leads to a rich pepper and vanilla scented nose. Well-rounded lush mouth feel shows a perfect acid / tannin balance. Rich structure and tannins will benefit from age, but quite drinkable now.

Price: $16.99 per bottle

More Grape Information: A grape made in heaven for home winemakers, Malbec, was the principle component in a Malbec wine using 27 pails. Both the Malbec and the blended Cabernet Sauvignon (9 pails) were sourced from Mendocino County.

Merlot

This deep purple red has a refined fruit and oak nose that needs time to unravel. Plum and black cherry fill the palate. A balanced wine full of soft flavors that finishes smooth. Lot 2 is a classic, Bordeaux-style wine that will only improve with age.

14.4% ALC. BY VOL. - 750 ML Price: $16.99 per bottle

More Grape Information: Twenty-seven containers of Carneros Merlot were used with 6 pails of Russian River Cabernet Franc and 3 pails of Russian River Malbec for a Merlot based blend.

Mourvédre

Dark purple, almost bluish color with vinous nose of subtle berry fruit and oak. Full rich flavor wrapped in tannic structure. A special Rhone-style red.

14.5% ALC. BY VOL. - 750 ML Price: $16.50 per bottle

More Grape Information: Mourvédre wine combined 18 pails of Mourvédre from Oakley and 9 pails of Mourvédre from Antioch (both grown on sand in Alameda County) with 6 pails of Mendocino Syrah.

Peter's Red

A ‘secret blend’ of Merlot and Malbec combine to form a medium-bodied wine with a full nose and lovely complex berry tones. The tannic structure allows for aging or immediate use with fairly rich foods. Peter made this Red for his wife Faye, so don’t buy too much!

13.5% ALC. BY VOL. - 750 ML Price: $18.88 per bottle

Sangiovese

Garnet red color and a powerful nose makes you think pleasantly, ‘What was that?” The aromatics of spiked fruit compote builds in the nose. Strawberries, a touch of oak, and the slight heat makes this a big Tuscan; not your straw covered lunch wine. Fruit dominates the palate as well. This is a dry wine capable of 5 years or more additional bottle age.

15.0% ALC. BY VOL. - 750 ML Price: $26 per bottle

More Grape Information: A Sangiovese wine was composed of 27 pails of Sangiovese from the Chalk Hill region. This 2004 Sangiovese was a little high in acid and sugar at harvest. Four pails of Carneros Merlot and 3 pails of Russian River Cabernet Franc were added to balance the wine and add some depth.

Zinfandel

The dark red appearance prepares the way for whiffs of mint and eucalyptus. A burly, scented Zin with fruit in good acid balance fills the mouth. The wine is dry, rich and now fairly tannic. Those wishing to sip milder wine should wait 3 years for an exceptional Zinfandel experience.

15.0% ALC. BY VOL. - 750 ML Price: $16.99 per bottle

More Grape Information: A Zinfandel wine utilized 27 pails of Talmage (Mendocino) Zinfandel, 6 pails of Talmage Carignane, and 3 pails of Mendocino Sirah.
