San Saba Chardonnay, 2005
Production 825 cases
Lemon, lime, and crisp minerality contribute to green apple, cinnamon and a hint of butter for a lush, complex wine. Subtle oak carries through the pallet without taking focus away from the chardonnay grape itself. This wine is sophisticated and true to the soil it comes from. Northern Monterey County has the ideal growing climate for chardonnay. Daily sun exposure ripens the grapes while cold Pacific winds extend the growing season for an extra two months. This allows chardonnay time to develop the tropical fruit and lush textures for which Monterey chardonnay is known.

San Saba Pinot Noir, 2006
Production: 600 cases
Richer and more complex than our first release, this wine still maintains a stylistic appeal that is classic French in its delicate balance of weight and flavor. The bouquet has dark chocolate covered cherries with touches of spice and cedar. Violets in the nose and mouth also contribute interest. Flavors of cherry fruit and a little meatiness make this wine intriguing. There’s a vibrancy that adds energy and brightness within the framework of a smooth texture.

San Saba Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, 2005
Production 135 cases
Liquid gold, this wine is a fantastic melody of lychee, apricot, nectarine, and peaches with some cantaloupe and honey.  The more floral notes of orange blossom and honeysuckle complete the aroma.  Sweet but balanced with acidity, the wine moves through your mouth with flavor and viscosity, leaving it clean and awaiting another swallow.

Bocage Unoaked Chardonnay, 2006
Production 3400 cases
Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, this wine is meant to be fruity and crisp; as enjoyable by itself as it is with food. The nose is clean and reminiscent of lemon, citrus, and tropical fruit. It is followed by a mouthful of fruit with a touch of acidity. This shows the full flavor of Monterey chardonnay when it is untouched by oak.

Bocage Sauvignon Blanc, 2005
Production: 300 cases
Available only at the winery.
Fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks, this wine is light and fresh with a clean, crisp finish. Beginning with a grassy, grapefruit bouquet, the wine dances with a light sweetness on the tongue and follows through with the same light, crisp tones to its finish. Wonderful by itself as a sipping wine or paired with light foods.
