Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley 2006
Price: $56
Release date: April 20, 2009
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on three little vineyards I planted and farm in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. The climate and soils create a beautifully balanced and rich wine with flavors of blackberry and blueberry. There is a hint of sweet oak with a big rounded mid palate and smooth finish due to the integrated tannins. Enjoyable upon release and will continue to improve for years to come.

Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley 2007
Price: $21.00
Our 2007 Sauvignon Blanc is very similar to the 2005 and 2006 as it comes from the same 4 acre vineyard in Carneros we call "Church Vineyard." It has a lovely nose of blooming iris, pink grapefruit and faint jasmine. The palate is clean, crisp and fruity with ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavors finishing with just enough acidity to be refreshing. It is exquisitely well balanced with intriguing pink grapefruit and subtle musque flavors.

Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2005
Price: $56.00
Only in rare years does the combination of cluster structure, timing and weather result in a favorable outcome for botrytis in its
best and purest form. 2005 for us was one of those years. Aromas of tangy honey and pink grapefruit meld into brilliant flavors of
rich creamy honey, vanilla and spice. The balanced acidity makes it tangy and clean- impossible to resist another sip.
10 months in 100% French Oak. 350 cases produced.

Created in the same style as the 2005 our 2006 John Anthony Church Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of ripe,
spicy thyme, marjoram, and white pepper overlaid by fruity melon and nectarine. The palate has a beautifully
balanced lively herbal layer over a crisp yet full bodied midpalate with melon and gooseberry flavors and
an orange blossom honey finish.
