2015 Paul Thomas Dedication Gold - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Bandol-Style Blend | Columbia Valley AVA The third in our Dedication Series - this wine is a blend based on the Bandol region of Provence, with the primary grape variety of Mourvedre. As you smell this wine you will note the complex aromas of black pepper spice, cherry and dried herbs. On the palate more complex fruit together with balanced acidity and structure promise a wine of some longevity. 61% Mourvedre, 25% , 8% Cinsault, 6% Syrah Retail Price $50| Club Vivant & Amour $42.50 | Club Dévotion $40.00

2014 Trentenaire 92pts - International Wine Review Petit Verdot Bordeaux-Style Blend | Columbia Valley AVA The wine is intensely dark in color with aromas of lilacs, pie cherries, black raspberries, musk and cedar arising generously from the glass. As the wine enters the mouth full flavors, tannins and acidity are evident while the finish is smooth and long. Aerating the wine by decanting helps bring out the layers of fruit and spice on the nose and palate. 55% Petit Verdot, 19% , 10% , 10% , 6% Retail Price $50| Club Vivant & Amour $42.50 | Club Dévotion $40.00

2015 Solesce 93pts - James Suckling Bordeaux-Style Blend | Columbia Valley AVA The generous complex aroma includes ripe cherries, blackberries, blueberries and vanilla bean. On the palate, mouth filling flavors of cassis and black fruits are followed by firm, ripe silky tannins and a long finish and balanced acidity. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec Retail Price $60.00 |Club Vivant & Amour $51.00 | Club Dévotion $48.00

NV Graciano 90 points - Robert Parker Upland Vineyard, Snipes Mountain AVA While normally used as a blending grape with Tempranillo, it is occasionally bottled as a single variety. Relatively small plantings have found their way around the world. One small block is the Upland vineyard on Snipes Mountain where only a very few winer- ies, including ourselves have access to these rare grapes. Dark in color, look for exotic aromas of anise, pomegranate, raspberries and turmeric. On the palate the wine has mouth filling fruit and spice with ripe tannins and a long finish. Retail Price $65| Club Vivant & Amour $55.25 | Club Dévotion $52.00

2014 Cabernet Franc 91 points - Wine Advocate Dineen Vineyard, Rattlesnake Hills AVA Five barrels of this beautiful wine were chosen for ONE, a distinction that only a very few of our wines achieve. A beautifully com- plex floral aroma greets the nose: gardenia, blackberries, cassis and cedar. On the palate the wine hits the right balance between richness and finesse with a long flavorful finish. Enjoy with everything from chicken to steak.
