Wines

2007 Curtis Viognier, Santa Ynez Valley
The palate is bright and focused, with flavors of peach, lime, pineapple & mineral.
A hint of creaminess lingers on an otherwise crisp, quenching finish.

2008 Curtis Heritage Blanc, Central Coast
Opens with lush aromas of citrus, honeycomb & pear with accents of mineral.
Apricot and melon unfold with nuances of honey and vanilla.
A rich, viscous mid-palate concludes crisply with brisk acidity and refreshing hints of lime.

2007 Lincourt Chardonnay, Santa Rita Hills Rancho Santa Rosa
Rich and full-bodied, without being heavy, this offers ripe fig,
honeydew melon, green pear & light spicy oak, all well proportioned.

2007 Lincourt Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County
Softly textured in the mouth, it boasts aromas of blueberry, blackberry, raspberry & cranberry
intertwined with notes of vanilla, cola, earth & spice.
The wine offers a velvety soft, broad mouthfeel with a long, full finish.

2005 Lincourt Cabernet Sauvignon
Ripe huckleberries, briar patch fruit & backyard plum are evident on the nose.
Demonstrates dark tones of blackberries, new tobacco leaf & dark chocolate.

2005 Curtis Heritage Cuvée, Santa Barbara County
The palate is soft and round, revealing jammy flavors of black cherry, raspberry & pomegranate
with accents of cola. The finish is smooth and sleek with just a hint of spice.

2005 Firestone Late Harvest Riesling, Santa Ynez Valley
Apricot, honey & mandarin orange peel explode on your pallet
but still maintain a crisp natural acidity to balance the sweetness.
Richness of fruit flavors long into the full yet clean, inviting finish.
