Planted on the rolling hills of the Madonna Vineyard in Carneros, these Cabernet grapes have southern exposure. This southern influence provides maximum sun exposure for peak flavor maturity. The fruit is crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation the wine is pressed and transferred into small oak barrels. It is then aged for 18 - 24 months. On the palate their Cabernet has a structured mouth feel with soft tannins and herbal undertones. This Cabernet Sauvignon compliments filet mignon, pork tenderloin, and hearty tomato based pasta dishes.

There are 6 acres of Merlot grapes planted in Madonna's vineyard. Harvested at an average of 24° Brix, the grapes are crushed, and the must is fermented at 85° for 10 days with Pasteur Red yeast. After fermentation, the wine is pressed, racked once, and placed into small oak barrels for 16 - 18 months. Our Merlot has the aromas of raspberry, toasty oak, and green tea. It pairs well with lamb, prime rib, lasagna, roasted potatoes, and beef stew.

This Pinot Grigio is an extremely versatile wine that can be enjoyed throughout the year. It is both complex and interesting, and has a clean, crisp finish with wonderful nuances of melon and pear that mingle on the palate. It has delightfully fresh, fruity aromas, and pairs well with crab cakes, quiche, risotto, and cream-based pasta dishes. The first harvest of Pinot Grigio was crushed in 1999.
