Complex, creamy, nutty.
The reserve Chardonnay from T7 is 100% barrel aged (one year-old American oak), lees stirred and put through 100% malolactic (secondary) fermentation The nose offers smoked pears, roasted nuts, scorched orange peel sweet churned butter and brown spices. The palate is nutty and creamy with vanilla, orange segments, pineapples and grilled pears culminating in a spiced finish. Very good complexity and lively acidity to balance.
Pair: lobster, cedar planked salmon, creamy chicken dishes, creamy fettucini, grilled white fish, breaded and fried oysters, roast chicken or squash ravioli.

Effusive, bouncy, precision. This effusive and exuberant Sauvignon doles out generous elderflower and nettle, grapefruit and guava, peach nectar and honey. It is delightfully bouncy with lovely fruit expression and very good precision.
Pair: Asparagus fritters, herb quiche, coconut curries, seafood salads and most appetizers. *label shown differs from the actual reserve label--no correct image available

Dry, straightforward, lean.
The Fool's Gold Vineyard is located in north Oliver and this Riesling is a nice (dry) addition to the portfolio. Sadly the 2017 is not as lovely as the previous vintage, it seems oxidative with notes of bruised peaches, yellow apples, musky honey and starfruit. The palate is lean and straightforward with a medium-ish lemongrass finish.

Dry, zesty, juicy.
The Fool's Gold Vineyard is located in north Oliver and this Riesling has been a nice (dry) addition to the portfolio and I'm pleased with brightness of the 2018 vintage.
Crunchy green apple and peach, honey, spring blossoms and Meyer lemon aromas lead to a racy palate dominated by zesty citrus. Medium weight and finish.

Dry, crunchy, racy.
The Fool's Gold Vineyard is located in north Oliver and is a nice (dry) addition to the portfolio.
Marmalade and mineral tones are melded with wet stone, beeswax and crunchy green apples. It is rich but dry, with an almost earthy character. Racy and mineral focused it has a long and snappy finish.
