Here are some of our newest releases and family favorites !

Kitara 2007 Barrel Select Pinot Noir-
Don’t be fooled by some snobby ’wine critics’ that call the 2007 Oregon vintages light and without body.  This barrel select (from our favorite 6 barrels) is rich, deep and full of dark fruit and mellow tannins.  We let it age in the bottle for over 2 years to help it create a new character and soften up.  If you like a Pinot Noir with a little bit of punch this is a fine wine for you!  Come and enjoy- we made just over 120 cases and it’s currently only available in the tasting room!  It’s on special for $20/bottle!

2010 Pinot Rose’-
light, bright & full of fruit this is a fine sipping wine for the summer or spring or whenever.  Made with our Estate Pinot Noir in the traditional style, where the juice is drained off from the skins to leave a lovely pink color.  Enjoy- we made  79 cases….
available at the winery $12/bottle

2006 KB Winemaker’s Red Blend
This full bodied Cabernet based blend is made from grown by our friends at Layne Vineyard in Southern Oregon- where we have been partnering on making big, bold wines since 1985.  Enjoy the lush dark raspberry and vanilla overtones and long tobacco finish.  Aged for nearly 3 years on French and Hungarian Oak to settle out and mature.
68 cases made.
available at the winery   $25/bottle

2009 L’Esprit Gewurztraminer-
Add a little spritz to your life!  Our first ever screw cap is specially made to hold in extra carbonation since this wine has a nice little spritz of bubbles!  Lovely tropical fruit aromas and light spiciness make this a winery favorite!  Available at the winery and at your local store for around $10 a bottle…

The 2008 St Josef’s Pinot Noir is now on the shelf in your local store.  We’ve got these fancy new bottles and labels to go with the beautiful wine.  It’s medium bodied, ruby in color, with cherry up front and vanilla on the finish.  The San Francisco Chronicle calls the 2008 Pinot Noirs the ‘vintage of a decade’.   Pick up a bottle & let us know what you think!
