Robert Mondavi Carneros Chardonnay
A classic Carneros Chardonnay: Fresh and focused, with apple, pear and citrus fruit character.
Tintara Shiraz

Simi Sauvignon Blanc
Simi Sauvignon Blanc is everything a wine made from this grape should be: filled with lively acid and crisp, clean fruit flavors. A touch of Semillon is blended in to help develop richness on the palate.
