This grape is the colorless expression of the red Pinot Noir grape.

This wine is really two wines in one; a portion was fermented in American oak to give it richness, butteriness and complexity, while the rest was fermented very cold to retain the lovely “fruit” character that typifies really golden-ripe Chardonnay grapes. The nose is rich and complex with bright apple-fruit and more “deep” tropical-fruit and toasty oak characteristics. The smells come through in the rich-round mouth-feeling flavors. .

This third vintage is dark ruby in color with a nose of plums, violets, cedar shavings and earth. Complex with raspberry jam, cocoa and spice. The long full-bodied finish offers red fruits, vanilla and integrated smooth tannins. Harmoniously balanced, this wine drinks well now but those with patience will be greatly rewarded.

Sourced from the same vineyards hat contribute to Graham's famed vintage ports in "declared" years, this wine closely resembles Graham's Vntage Port style: full-bodied, with rich opulent black fruit on the palate and fragrant brambly aromas.

This 2006 late hervest Muscat , produced without botrytis but slow dried in a dark room to create a Trockenbeerenauslese-like effort that tastes like orange marmalade mixed with malasses. Great acidity gives the wine a refreshing taste as well as a captivating perfume.
