With 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot, this wine gets a hold of you from the get go, offering a luxurious bouquet of rose, sandlewood, a tantalizing fragrance of seduction and  hedonistic spectrum of red fruit.  Smooth with wonderful sleak tannin and balance, this is a fabulous wine with or without food.  Keep Drinking and Keep Believing.

From Winemaker, Joe Dobbes and Cliff Creek Cellars comes this Estate Grown Syrah with an absolutely amazing, seductive bouquet full of musk, pine, eucalyptus and almond.  Even though I felt the fruit was a tad juicy for a Syrah, this wine was still masterfully executed and enjoyed the undertone of dark chocolate immensely.  Keep Drinking and Keep Believing.
