The United States is large, geographically diverse wine region. All fifty states grow wine grapes, and the U. S. wine industry is thriving. Wines in the United States are made from various native and hybrid varietals as well as various ‘international' varietals. Much of the Eastern seaboard, the Central United States, the South and Southwestern states feature native and hybrid varietals. For example, Kahn's home state of Indiana grows Concord, Niagara, Vignoles, Seyval Blanc, Millot, Traminette, and Catawba, among others. These grapes produce delicious wines that are enjoyed throughout the United States, but have rarely gained international fame. There are four important states in the United States that have wine-growing regions that have gained wide international acclaim for their quality Vitis Vinifera wines. These states are: California, Washington, Oregon and New York.

This offering has elevated the Estate Pinot Noir program. Layered components of earth violets and black fruits complete this elegant Pinot. After nearly a decade, the Estate bottling has finally found its voice and it begs a listen.
This bright, juicy wine offers lush aromas of black fruits, espresso, black pepper and clove, with rich vanilla and plum flavors on the palate supported by firm tannins.
94 WE Duckhorn's Three Palms bottling is one of the oldest and most consistent Merlot designations in California and this is a classic example. The wine is always very tannic. But the '05 is dry and rich with mineral-laden cherries and currants with just the right application of new oak. Decant.
While most Au Bon Climat Pinots are vineyard specific, Isabelle is created by masterful blending in the cellar of the best barrels from those specific sites (Bien Nacido, Sanford & Benedict, Talley Rincon, Mt. Carmel...the proportions are a very proprietary secret). The result is a wine of incredible depth, complexity, and focus- very serious Pinot. For this year's Isabelle, Jim was presented with more quality components than he has ever had to work with due to the exceptional nature of the vintage. A brilliant effort worthy of space in any cellar- it will live for years.
A full varietal impact of fresh crush. Aromas of plum jam and cranberries with earthy undertones. Knock your senses to their knees! Bright flavors of blackberry, cassis, cedar and plum prevail with a long classic Cabernet Sauvignon finish not to be forgotten!
