2008 Rosé Paradiso
$14 ($11.90 case price, mixed case OK)

Rattlesnake Hills (140 cases produced, released 07/10)

Our ninth vintage of dry, barrel-fermented and barrel-aged Rosé. Made mostly from the Sangiovese grape, combined for complexity and completeness—not to confound nor conform—but to coalesce with Temprañillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Lemberger, and Malbec. A bit of collaboration with Riesling for a coefficiency of aroma and bouquet. A Rosé with cajones to pour in the kitchen as a complaisant companion to cold cuts, ham, smoked turkey and coho. A little “come hither” to a sensual salad.

2009 Under 10 Buck Red
$9.25 ($7.86 case price, mixed case OK)

Rattlesnake Hills (released 06/10)

Keep it simple, keep it inexpensive, keep it good. Monday through Thursday wine. The wine to open for hollow-legged neighbors. Wine for meat loaf, frozen pizza, spaghetti, beans and rice, everyday stuff. Start with a big tank of simple wine from lower-cost grapes. Blend in some of the other bits around the winery that add “nice” till we say, “Yummm!” At less than a couple of bucks a glass, this bottle keeps your daily glass reasonable and good.

2006 Paradisos Red
$20 ($18 case price, mixed case OK)

Yakima Valley (261 cases produced, released 02/10)

Blended with pizza on my mind—real pizza, made with love and care at home, or from the best pizza joint around. One of my goals is to make what is acknowledged as the World’s Best Pizza Wine. But wait! Let’s not forget lasagna, pasta putanesca, spaghetti, tacos, enchiladas, hamburgers, Cajun, barbeque . . . all made with love. That’s why we make this wine!

Our Paradisos Red is a culinary creation based on the Lemberger grape. It also includes Malbec, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, and a big dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon for complexity and richness of flavor. The quest and development for this wine began in 1991 and continues . . .

2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
$30 ($25.50 case price, mixed case OK)

Yakima Valley (264 cases produced, released 08/09)

It had something to do with sheep. It must have! I’d be crushed if there were no connections between lambs in Bordeaux and plant breeding. Were sheep the leavening in the élevage of Bordeaux wines from Cabernet Franc-based pinkish Claret to Cabernet Sauvignon-based Rouge?

What recipe required the creation of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety in 1600? I’ll take the plunge . . . there was a lamb involved. ’Twas a conspiracy! A cuvee of shepherds and vignerons . . . Yes! Now I understand! My neighbor raises sheep and cattle, I make red wine.

If I am eating lamb chops, beef steaks, or wild goose, my first thought is a red with berry plummy flavors, some grip to balance the meat, plenty of depth of flavor . . . oh! It’s in your hand!

2004 Port Paradisos
$40 ($34 case price, mixed case OK)

Vineyard del Sol (25 cases produced, re-released 02/10)

This is a single-barrel venture into the realm of sweet red wine. A realm created centuries ago on the Iberian Peninsula. An offshoot of a culture clash and war. A sweet end to conflict? The Moors invaded Spain and brought the knowledge and technology of distillation and al-kuhl or al-ka-ool.

The British fell in love with sweet wines from the Iberia Peninsula and started importing them by the boat loads. Ships to this day are rated by how many tons (from the tun, the large barrel used for transport) they can carry. The city of Oporto became a major wine harbor lending its name to the sweet wines shipped down the Douro River. So, Port, which Barbara loves, and I love Barbara.

2004 Angelica G
$25 ($21.25 case price, mixed case OK)

Vineyard del Sol (161 cases produced, released 02/08)

Angelica is true American wine, created by the Franciscan friars of California over two hundred years ago. It was a sacramental wine made to endure, as they and their burros hiked over hill and dale. The method allows the wine to retain sweetness; early preservation captures the sweet lushness of ripe grapes. Their craft has been improved by time and technology, including better grape varieties like Gewürztraminer and bottles instead of goatskins, but we still use barrels. We like to think Fr. Junípero Serra, the first successful winegrower in what is now the USA, would be proud of what he started. We use it to celebrate the last course of a meal with our friends.
