It is perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon and should be served well-chilled and enjoyed while young and fresh.

2005 Sangiovese
|
Benessere Sangiovese is a most versatile wine to pair with foods. It has the elegance and finesse to pair with delicate dishes and the structure to serve with more intensely flavored and spicy foods as well. Plum and blackberry fruit intermingle with a traditional and unmistakable violet and spice. This wine will age well for ten-plus years and develop more complexity and character with age. Enjoy our Sangiovese with friends and family on all occasions, both simple and extravagant!

2004 Phenomenon
|
This is the fifth release of our “Super-Napan” estate blend called “Phenomenon”. The blending of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah is a relatively new “phenomenon” for California. As such, we think it is fitting to name our wine after this occurrence. It is also patterned after some of the “Super-Tuscan” wines of Italy; wines which have crossed the boundaries of regulations and tradition, utilizing superior grape clones and artisan blending to make the best wine possible.

2005 Black Glass Zinfandel
|
We call the vineyard “Black Glass” for the obsidian arrowheads, spearheads and chippings left by the Native American-Wappo Indian Tribe who hunted and lived on the land from BC to the 1800’s. These old hunting grounds now yield fruit worthy of our estate vineyard designation and the historical association from which it was derived.

2005 BK Collins Old Vine Zinfandel
|
This may be the best Old Vine Zinfandel we have produced to date! The elements were all there for this vintage: small crop, perfect maturity and small, intensely flavored berries. The results are in the glass with the dark purple color alluding to the plums and blackberry jam apparent as the main aromatic components. The distinctly earthy flavors marry well with the fruit and spicy oak. Pair this wine with Buffalo burgers, Rabbit tostadas and most grilled red meats or spicy dishes. It will age well for the next five to seven years.

2004 Estate Syrah
|
Syrah is not a pretty grape when mature. These football shaped grapes become slightly shriveled and dimpled like golf balls when approaching maturity. Looking bad to taste good has become the norm for our Syrah.
