 | Sweely Estate Pinot Gris 2007This crisp, stainless-steel fermented Pinot Gris highlights of minerality, green apple and lemony citrus, with notes of honeysuckle and hazelnut.

 | Acorn Hill Chardonnay 2006This 100% Chardonnay drinks just as a Burgundy-style, food friendly wine should.

 | Wolftown Chardonnay 2007This steel-tank fermented chardonnay sends you to the Islands with its pineapple and lemony citrus aromas, topped with just a hint of flinty mineral.

 | Acorn Hill Merlot 2006Our first Merlot has a bit of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc to round out a well-balanced, medium-body wine. The nose exudes bright mixed berry with minty overtones, and the palate emphasizes the strawberry flavors, a lovely roundness and respectable finish. 35% was aged in new French oak for eight months, this wine pairs well with roasted salmon, beef bourguignon (remember to use it in the recipe, too) and summer beef kebobs. 500 cases, $215.46 a case. | $19.95 |
 | Acorn Hill Cabernet Franc 2006This is a rich Cabernet Franc with a tinge of Merlot. Flavors of ripe raspberry and blueberry with tobacco touches that create a slightly rustic, yet robust red wine that demands a smoky-grilled steak. The acidity and tannin level tells us that you will enjoy this wine for several years to come. 425 cases, $237.06 a case. | $21.95 |
 | "1867" Meritage 2006Recipient of 3 Gold Medals: The 2009 Virginia Governors Cup, the 2009 Dallas Morning News Wine Competition, and the 2009 Monticello Cup. Our first release of 1867 is a blend of 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc, aged 12 months in new French Oak. This wine delivers a ripe black cherry and raspberry nose that reveals rich and toasty aromas with a whiff of vanilla. As this wine opens, the elegance of the fruit exposes a fresh, well balanced wine, with a nose that continues to capture a myriad of slightly caramelized candy and spice aromas. Pairs well with a filet mignon in a rich reduction sauce. 306 cases, $345.06/case. | $31.95 |
 | Wolftown Red 2007This blend of merlot and cabernet franc has been touched by oak, but still has a bright and fruity nose that continues to the palate. A great red for summer picnics and spaghetti Bolognese. 1400 cases, $172.80 a case. | $16.00 |
