"Pale straw with golden reflections. Intense nose with pineapple, lemon and walnuts as well as hints of vanilla, voluminous mouth with pleasant acidity and freshness. Hints of white fruits and vanilla on the palate. Elegant finish." -The Winery
"Deep ruby red with intense aromas of cherries and strawberries accompanied by coffee and a touch a eucalyptus. On the palate this wine is full-bodied with soft tannins and a very pleasant finish showing notes of over-ripe strawberries." -The Winery
"Our vineyards in Paso Robles are in the ideal climate and soil conditions for the Rhone varietal wines. Allure de Robles is an estate grown wine that is produced in the Cotes du Rhone style. This wine is primarily a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The clones of the grapes are predominantly from Tablas Creek Winery and Vineyard Nursery, meaning they are cuttings from both the Chateau de Beaucastel in the famous Chateauneuf-du-Pape region of France and the French Entav budwood. The vineyard is still young so it is producing a wine similar to a Côtes du Rhône but one which should age well for several years.
"This wine is medium-bodied with strawberry and cherry overtones from the Grenache, body from the Syrah and earthiness from the Mourvèdre. Our Allure de Robles is a great choice for sipping or with a wide variety of foods." - The Winery
This world-renowned wine shows peachy tropical fruit and melon characters on the nose, with a hint of citrus freshness and judicious use of oak. The palate is generous and soft with full, ripe tropical flavours folded into a creamy backdrop that is beautifully structured with a long satisfying finish.

“O. Fournier’s 2008 Urban Uco Torrontes is a remarkable value. It offers up a fragrant perfume of honey, spring flowers, pit fruits, and a hint of tropical aromas in the background. Expansive on the palate, the wine is crisp, ripe, dry, and impeccably balanced. Drink it over the next 12-18 months.” –Jay Miller

"This is subtle, but persistent, offering a core of white asparagus spiked with a steely fleur de sel note. Has some rounded weight, but stays nervy. For fans of the slightly severe style. Drink now. 1,000 cases made." -James Molesworth
"Vigneti del Sole is a lighter-style Pinot Grigio with plenty of fruit and acidity for a well-balanced wine. This popular Italian white has crisp acidity and a nose of lemons, green apples and almonds. With no oak, the wine shows the best of the Pinot Grigio varietal flavors. Well-balanced with a fresh, clean finish." -The Importer
Ripe plum and berry fruit with pepper, spice and subtle vanilla. Generous plum, ripe berry and licorice fruit flavors with chocolately oak influences. Perfect with all meats.
Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay are nurtured to perfection in select hillside vineyards of the Banfi estate in Montalcino, Tuscany. The grapes are gently pressed, followed by vinification "in bianco," or "off the skins" at low temperatures in stainless steel resulting in a delightfully harmonious wine. Le Rime, pale straw in color, is an aromatic, fruity white wine with a crisp finish replete with refreshing acidity.
