2001
Ceago Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendocino County
This is a remarkably interesting wine. Although it
is a little lean on aromas, its caramel, black fruit,
bramble and spice flavors evolve from tip of the tongue
to a lengthy, peppery finish. Most alluring is the
black pepper tingle that lingers on the tongue. $$$
2003 Ceago Chardonnay, Mendocino County
An extremely juicy wine with aromas and flavors of
tropical fruit, its sweet freshness tingles the tip
of the tongue. But there is substance to this wine
and it finishes long with hints of toast and vanilla.
$$
2000 Ceago Merlot, Mendocino County
A big, bright wine, Ceago’s Merlot nicely matches
acidity with cherry fruit flavors. The toasted oak
used in aging gives it an interesting cedar note and
a lovely vanilla finish. $$$
2003 Ceago Sauvignon Blanc, Mendocino County
Lemongrass and honeysuckle aromas lead the way to
a sweet, honeyed flavor. Surprisingly sweet and aromatic
for a Sauvignon Blanc, its luscious flavors finish
clean with lemon acidity. $$
Fetzer 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon, California
Made from grapes grown in California’s coastal
regions, Fetzer’s Cab boasts cranberry acidity.
With soft tannins and red fruit flavors it is an extremely
easy-drinking Cabernet. $
2003 Fetzer Chardonnay, California
This wine is pure North Coast classic, with aromas
and flavors of crisp apples and pears. Its acidity
hints of lemons and grapefruits and its oak influence
gives length to the finish. $
2003 Fetzer Pinot Grigio, California
Lovely green melon and floral aromas and flavors make
this a refreshing and well-priced choice for a picnic
or light meal. $
2001 Fetzer Shiraz, California
Fruity, food friendly and full of character, this
pleasant Shiraz is a crowd pleaser. Soft tannins and
ample cherry/currant flavors and just a hint of anise
and pepper, its a well-priced, easy-drinking wine.

2001
Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon, North Coast
A wine with tangy acid and bright cherry and berry
flavors. Firm tannins shape its big body and grip.
$
2003 Bonterra Viognier, Mendocino County
A fun departure from the typical Mendocino Chardonnay,
this light, crisp white offers pretty aromas and apricot
and peach flavors. $$
