Of special note:
The Wine Spectator reviewed the 1993 Cabernet and rated it a 91, the 1994 Cab was rated a 92 out of 100. The 1995 promises to be another excellent vintage. The '95 should be rated spring of '98.

The grape source for our '97 Sauvignon Blanc, Dai Crisp is the vineyard manager for Croft vineyards in Oregons Willamette valley. The back label of the '96 is dedicated to Dai and all of the other folks involved in the making of the wine.
