Red Wine by Fife from Russian River, California. Uplands refers to the many hillside and benchland sites around Lake Mendocino which are home to cherished small blocks of old red vines, many tended by the third generation of their original founders. Vine age and continuity of production are testament to the quality of these fortunate growing sites. To a great extent, these vines are self-limiting in yield and ripen smaller crop loads to mouth-watering intensity. It is exciting to utilize these older sites in a blend that expresses the best of Mendocino fruit. The flavors of strawberry compote come forward and define this Zin. Petite syrah and Carignane add structure and tannin along with wild berry zest and spice. With its soft entry, luscious fruit and spice flavors, and easygoing appeal, our Mendocino Zinfandel blend is a versatile companion to a wide variety of cuisines.
White Wine by Flora Springs from Napa Valley, California. Soliloquy is a most unusual wine. Its basis is the old Sauvignon Blanc vines that give it its unique character that is reminiscent of a garden of honeysuckle, peaches and spicy fruit. We have planted the Sauvignon Musque lone in the vineyard in anticipation of the decline of our old vines. Sauvignon Musque xhibits many of the same characteristics of the old Soliloquy vines but has the bonus of more power. My philosophy with Soliloquy is to deal with it as gently as possible. This means that I do not use any small barrels. Instead, I rely on sur lies aging to round out the wine and give it a silky mouthfeel.
White Wine by Flora Springs from Napa Valley, California. The 2005 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay is a perfect combination of all the best growing regions in Napa Valley.

This wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation because of the considerable richness that is inherent in our fruit. It is a delicious wine that pairs beautifully with food or can be enjoyed alone.

This versatile, flavorful white wine is a great companion to a wide variety of food flavors and textures. In our recent tasting of older Sauvignon Blancs, no wine showed better with long-aging than the Grgich Hills 1983. These wines are always tight when young, and, at times, they make us wince at their bracing acidity. But, here is a wine that, while firm and only ready to drink for those who care for lean, brisk fruit as the first order of business, is so loaded with depth and promise that some of it should be put away for another day. Hide some in the cellar and let it pick up the roundness to lift its bracing flavors into full and rewarding balance. Connoisseurs' Guide
