Wines	New Vintage - 2007 Chardonnay
	The vintage lends itself to a crisper style, with flavors of lemon, pear and orange peel. Just the right time in French oak underscores the lush yet clean,fruit-driven wine with a hint of vanilla. Refreshing and dry, it is pure, unadulterated Chardonnay.
	New Vintage - 2005 Merlot, Vin de Pays d'Oc
	This wine possesses the concentration and character that can only come from old vines, low yields, extended maceration and great terroir. The nose features plums and cherries. The palate is all currants, mocha and cassis. It is harmonious, balanced and delicious.
	New Vintage - 2006 Merlot, California
	The key to this Merlot is balance. To get there; ripe fruit with the right acidity was fermented and aged in a combination of stainless steel and new and used French barrels. Look for red and black cherries, dark plum, a touch of vanilla, and well-integrated soft tannins.
