A delicious blend of the white Rhone varietals Marsanne and Roussanne. The wine shines with a bright yellow/gold color and is highlighted by honeymelon and apricot notes with layers of almonds and hazelnuts balanced with natural acidity and a sense of richness. Rhapsody features a soft entry with a smooth texture, ample mouth feel, and ends with a lingering, rich finish enhanced with a touch of oak.

Rhapsody: A harmonius blend of Marsanne and Roussanne enveloped by subtle notes of new French oak.

Our first Pinot Noir. This is a classic Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir from the Doctor's Vineyard. The vineyard is located on the western side of the Salinas River Valley in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA.. The 194 acres of Pinot Noir are situated just above the fog line to take advantage of ripening morning sun. This well balanced, very aromatic Pinot presents itself in multiple layers, featuring spicy notes with currant and red cherry undertones. The wine has a silky finish with hints of oak and soft tannins.

Winner of the Double Gold Award at the 2010 San Francisco International Wine Competition! Jazz Cellars’ 2008 Lone Oak Pinot Noir opens with a very aromatic nose.

GOLD MEDAL / BEST IN CLASS WINNER!!

Already a huge favorite at our tasting events....The 2008 Jazz Cellars Teldeschi Zinfandel features a dark purple/garnet color with smokey/toasty oak notes on the nose. Tasting reveals jammy cherry/berry fruit with a touch of vanilla and caramel, good acid, and medium tannins. The finish is pure butterscotch! The 2008 is a delicious, full-bodied Zinfandel that shows why Dry Creek Valley delivers such great Zinfandels.

DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL WINNER!

The 2006 Eaglepoint Petite Sirah is a classic “big” Petite Sirah. The nose is aromatic and full of vibrant fruit and the color is a dark, inky purple. The wine explodes with tastes of fruit, pepper, berries and a hint of vanilla with excellent mouth-feel and soft tannins. Alcohol is 14.7%, but does not “overpower” the taste buds due to the acid balance and complexity of fruit-forward flavor in the wine.

SILVER MEDAL WINNER!

The primary source for our 2007 Mendocino County Syrah is the Eaglepoint Ranch vineyard located in Mendocino County, California. Prior to bottling, the Syrah was blended with small amounts of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah (Eaglepoint Ranch), Cabernet Sauvignon, and Mourvedre to add complexity and depth. The fantastic aromatic nose from this wine features delicious berries, fruit and a hint of chocolate. This is an incredibly approachable Syrah blend that appeals to a wide range of tastes. Only 50 cases produced.
