Creek Vineyard, 1998 Reserve Fume Blanc,
(707) 433-1000 Healdsburg, CA A wonderful wine
with aromatic dried grass undertones and soft melon highlights.
Full of flavor, ripe apricots and juicy citrus are elegantly
balanced and slightly spiced. Enjoy this wine now or age
between four and eight years. Roasted chicken with fresh
herbs and grilled bell peppers of various colors would
accentuate this wines subtle complexity.

St. Jean, 1999 Fume Blanc,
(707) 833-4134 Kenwood, CA This stunning Fume Blanc
has pronounced fruit forward aromas with honeydew melon
and lemongrass highlights. Subtle fresh herbs, sweet summer
fruit such as peaches and white nectarines massage the
palate. This wine finishes with clean refreshing citrus,
oak, and vanilla qualities. Excellent on its own but pairs
nicely with salads and spicy Asian-fusion cuisine. |
