December Wine Club New Releases

2007 Pinot Gris
Delicate aromas of ripe pear, apple, and a hint of guava followed by a mild orange blossom finish will delight you from our 2007 Pinot Gris.  This silky smooth wine pairs perfectly with seafood, light pasta dishes, and cheeses.
$19 ($15.20 Wine Club)

2003 Syrah
This 2003 Syrah opens with ripe dark fruit aromas, then carries through with the spicy/earthy/woodsy flavors and aromas typical of the Rhone varietal. Its ample structure and long finish make it a good match to most highly seasoned or substantial meals.
$32 ($25.60 Wine Club)
