2005 Merlot - Temecula Valley
Maybe you've heard about the 2005 harvest in California. It was enormous, offering us unusual opportunities to look for interesting interpretations of some of the finest grapes in the area. Our Limited Release Merlot is a direct result of that lucky strike. The goal? A sleek and silky wine of style and grace, medium bodied, easy drinking, and loaded with interesting dark berry flavors and aromas. You'll find hints of lush earthiness, and the gentle influence of French oak adding further complexity. We didn't look to break any stylistic boundaries with this wine, but we aimed squarely for a purely delicious, every day red wine that virtually all of us can enjoy. Limited Release.

2005 Opulente - Temecula Valley
Our 2005 Meritage is an expression of elegance and finesse. Seductive, earthy aromas of cedar, cassis, and blackberry create a wonderful bouquet that develops gracefully into focused flavors of wild berries, black cherry, and plums. Silky tannins provide excellent overall structure, while delicate nuances of lavender, anise and hints of mocha appear from mid-palate to finish, lending this wine its signature depth, balance, and complexity. Opulente is a multiple medal winner, and has become a signature wine of the Temecula Valley. Multiple gold medal winner.

2004 Old Vine Zinfandel - Cucamonga Valley
Every year we craft a Zinfandel that speaks directly to its American heritage. The fruit comes from several small lot, hundred year old vineyards in the Cucamonga Valley, and the wine is aged exclusively in the best American Oak to more fully accentuate the Zinfandel grape's inherent spiciness. The result? A hearty, sophisticated wine of plentiful black cherry and berry flavors, complex spice and pepper notes, and the continual hints of fresh cut tobacco. Fortunately, our Zinfandel program is a perpetual gold medal winner. The previous vintage was also judged to be Best Zinfandel of Southern California at the California State Fair. However, we think the 2004 is probably our best Zin to date. It will be drinking at its prime 2008-2010.  Bronze Medal, Riverside International Wine Competition; Bronze Medal, San Diego Wine Competition.

2004 Syrah - Temecula Valley, Kimberly Vineyard
A wonderfully rich, artfully crafted Syrah. Expect plentiful blackberry, raspberry and fresh cherry aromas and flavors, and continual hints of wild spice, lavender and cinnamon. It is racy, bold, and elegant in the same breath, with a delicately crafted balance showing from mid-palate to finish. Big and bright, complex and harmonious - this Syrah has been aged two years in carefully selected premium French and American oak (70%, 30%), and is a perfect example of why Syrah will almost certainly be the hallmark red wine of Temecula.  Silver Medal, Pacific Rim Wine Competition; Silver Medal, New World International Wine Competition; Silver Medal, Long Beach Grand Cru Wine Competion; Bronze Medal, LA County Fair Wine Competition.

2004 Estate Syrah - Temecula Valley, Miramonte Estate Vineyard

Numero Uno Sangria by Miramonte
A special, top secret blend of various organic fruit juices, premium Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Rose -- chances are you're going to love our Sangria. We used to make it fresh every week for our after hours wine tastings. It became so popular, one day we decided to bottle it. It's completely fruit forward, rich and refreshing and filled with lots of sweet, easy drinking dark berry character. A true summertime pleasure! Tasting Hint: At home, blend some champagne and a shot of good brandy into it -- then don't be surprised if you hear angelic voices and your life is changed forever. It's that good.
