January Special


This month we are releasing our Randle Hill Vineyard 2007 Semillon, which is the sister grape to the more familiar Sauvignon Blanc. With limited plantings in California, it is becoming difficult to find Semillon bottled separately. However this is our 15th consecutive vintage release

This wine is bright and refreshing, with pear skin, coriander seed and vanilla bean aromas. Rich mid-palate with apricot, lime zest and honey-comb notes in a long dry finish. A favorite grape of our local wild boar; we have to fight to keep our share!

Semillon is a terrific wine to match with all sorts of crab and other seafood dishes.

Regular price $20. During the month of January you can save: Our 15th Semillon wine vintage for $15.

2007 Semillon at $15 each

plus free S&H  Saves $45-80!
