| 1998 Klipsun Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon $29 |
|
||||
| As in previous years, Klipsun Cabernet
is a serious wine with long term aging potential. The Wine Enthusiast gave
it 90 points and described it at follows: "Klipsun fruit is known for its
firm tannins, iron and mineral elements, dark fruit and sturdy age-worthiness.
It's a complex wine, which, despite its youth, shows a wonderful range of
flavors, from black cherry to coffee to steel and smoke. The iron and acids
and tannin are there to age, but it drinks beautifully right now, so why
wait?"

| 1998 Spring Valley Vineyard Merlot $24 | |||||
| Our first single vineyard Merlot from
Spring Valley Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley appellation. Here is what
the Wine Enthusiast said: "89 points. This is a lovely, full, fragrant and
fruity nose, with accents of Provencal herbs and spices adding interest.
There's a nice mix of cocoa, coffee and toast in the finish, and it's a balanced,
trim, well-made bottle of wine that puts the emphasis on subtlety over power."

| 1998 Corral Creek Vineyards Pinot Noir $29 | |||||
| The 1998 vintage is the greatest vintage
in Oregon since the famed 1994 harvest. Our 1998 Pinot Noir from the Corral
Creek Vineyard in Oregon's Willamette Valley is typical of the vintage, with
big, ripe fruit flavors. It's like Pinot Noir trying to be Cabernet. Here
is what the Wine Spectator says: "90 points. Ripe, exotic style weaves threads
of chocolate, coffee and Oriental spices throughout the cherry and black
currant flavors on a supple frame. Has the length, intensity and polished
tannins to warrant cellaring."

| 1998 Klipsun Vineyard Nebbiolo $19 | |||||
| Our first Italian varietal! This wine
has the brick red color and hearty tannins one expects from Nebbiolo, together
with a delightful aroma of rose petals.
