Reds:
1993 Merlot: 1993 saw a cooler than average growing season. The Merlot has subtle layers of black cherry, spice, and cedar with soft supple tannins, giving a pleasent, velvety mouthfeel. To get the right balbance of fruit and oak, this wine was aged 16 months in older French oak barrels to allow the elegance and finesse to marry with the structure and texture.

1994 Cabernet Sauvignon: With Cabernet from two vineyards, they joined together to make a very nice blend. This Cabernet is medium bodied with great balance and a sense of harmony between cherry and herb flavors. It has oak accents and moderate tannins.
