Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, 2001 Le Serre Nuove
A great wine for any occasion or gift idea.
Purple-black hue. Fragrant scents of blueberry, plum, earth, bacon and campfire. Extracted flavors of black cherry, blackberry, tobacco and espresso. Long finis shows lots of fruit and earth.

Forman, Napa Valley Chardonnay, 2001
This white wine is one of the most balanced chardonnays. Up front oak, mellows into well-balanced fruit with good acidity making it a great food wine.

Hess Vineyards Mountain Cuvee Mount Veeder- Napa Valley 2002, Red Wine
Dry robust flavors of black cherries, wild herbs, and chocolate. This wine shows its mountain origins in the density and concentration of tannins and flavors, yet it’s so soft in the modern way.
