| 2007 Amelie Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot |
| 2007 is truly a great vintage of our Amelie Bordeaux blend. The same Cabernet Sauvignon lot that received the Best of Class Award for our 2007 Contado Mankas at the L.A. International Wine Competition and the Gold Award for our Mankas at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition was used to blend the Amelie. Elegance and joy remain the distinctive attributes of this blend. |

| Winemaker's Comments |
| The richness of Suisun Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend with joy to an elegant balance of aromas, flavors and texture in this 2007 vintage of our Amelie. Notes of red and black berries, cherry, plums from the Merlot highlight the silky tannins and long slightly spicy finish of the Cabernet Sauvignon. A prelude of vanilla, mocha, chocolate, dry figs and eucalyptus aromas anticipate the joyful crescendo of flavors that leads to a graceful finish. |
