2006 Elyse C'est Si Bon Naggiar Vineyard; Sierra Foothills C'est Si Bon (It's so good!), is made from grapes indigenous to the Rhone Valley in Southern France. This medium body wine has delightful aromas of dried raspberries, tangerine peel, white pepper along with hints of earth and dried herbs. On the palate, flavors of wild plums, raspberries, currants and a hint of minerality lead to a creamy mouth feel and genuinely long finish - and is way too easy to drink.

2006 Elyse Zinfandel Morisoli Vineyard; Napa Valley This is always one of our perennial favorites and this year is no different. the old vines, volcanic soil, Rutherfird bench terroir and filed blend always create a truly distinctive Zinfandel. Dark rubby-colred, it has inviting aromas of wild berries, mocha, dried herbs, vanilla and hints of smoked meat. On the palate, flavors of raspberries, blackberries and dark spicy plums are coupled with a pleasingly lush texture. This wine shows layers of gorgeous fruit with a deep, underlying complexity that is very characteristic of this vineyard.

2005 Elyse Cabernet Sauvignon Tietjen Vineyard; Napa Valley The 2005 Tietjen Cabernet is deep, dark purple in color with a nose of black cherries, chocolate, cedar, mushrooms, violets and a faint scent of cinnamon. Flavors of blueberries, cassis, dried herbs, vanilla and warm spices lead to a wonderful glycerin like texture that carries the tannin nicely across the palate. This full-bodied wine has great structure with beautiful integration of fruit, oak and tannin followed by a complex and lengthy finish.
