Ferrai Carano's newest wine!  A fantastic white blend perfect for summer sipping.  Delicious layers of peach, vanilla and floral aromas, and wisps of orange blossom, pear and lime. Distinctive and round on the palate, Bella Luce’s flavors of cream, vanilla, citrus, and apple shine through.

Intended as a pure expression of what the Chardonnay varietal represents, the 2008 Stainless Chardonnay has loads of fresh pineapple, lemon zest, golden apple and white peach fruit on the nose and palate. The acidity is bright and succulent, lengthening the finish of ripe, fresh flavors. No oak is used in the winemaking process for this wine to showcase the essence of Central Coast Chardonnay. The juice was cold-stabilized and racked off the sediment, then tank-fermented at low temperatures to enable the formation of esters that emphasize the pure, tropical fruit flavors. 25% of the wine was put through maolactic fermentation to soften the acids, without adding buttery flavors.

Hailing from the Los Alisos Valley, just south of the Santa Maria Valley. Full-bodied, creamy mouthfeel, vanillan oak, but it is not overblown. Shows off nectarine, pineapple and pear notes with well-integrated acidity for a wine of balance and harmony.

Aromas of ripe pear and honey leaping out of the glass. Layers of complex fruit fill the pallet with a rich and crisp aftertaste. Perfect balance Between fruit, acidity and sugar makes the wine very elegant and greatly enjoyable for any occasion.

The Artazuri Tinto is 100% old-vine Garnacha aged for six months in tank and neutral French oak. Medium ruby-colored, it offers up a fruity nose of spice box and cherry. Forward and easy-going on the palate, it deliver plenty of bang for the buck. Drink this crowd-pleaser over the next three years.

This wine’s aroma leaps out of the glass with fresh blackberries, toasted walnuts, and a toffee-like edge. It is incredibly aromatic and bright, like smelling a fresh rose. The wine transitions on the palate to rich, creamy blueberry flavors, a full-bodied, milk chocolate mouthfeel, and caramel oak nuance. Rich and soft, it evokes thoughts of cocoa butter and nutmeg. Velvety, mouth-filling tannins lead to a faintly sweet, strawberry finish. The bright, juicy fruit flavors of this wine are nicely balanced by its darker, caramel flavors and well integrated oak.

Steals the show for sure, with delicious, big fruit flavors. A delicious wine with ¬flavors of blackberry, cranberry, white pepper and spice, with toasty vanilla and violets. The wine has smooth tannins, a velvety texture and a long, lingering finish.

An extraordinarily rich, complex and satisfying Syrah. It's massive in blackberry, pepper, cola, spice and smoky oak flavors. Yet for all the size, it never loses its sense of balance and elegance.

Spicy and briary, a lusty, exuberant Zin meant for drinking with BBQ and richly flavored roasts. Brims with flavors of grilled blackberries and blueberries, currants, chocolate, tobacco, black pepper and smoke.
