This wine shows flavors of pears, apples and lemon.  The finish is light with a touch of oak.  Nice balance between fruit, acidity, and oak.

 

The most rich, intense and multi-dimensional zinfandel tends to be produced from “Old Vines”, vines that are at least 50 years old. The vines we are using are about 65 + years old! They tend to have fewer clusters of grapes with smaller berry size, yielding more intense sugars, color and concentration of flavors, producing wines that are generally better balanced with more body and structure.

The agricultural history of the Mohr's and Fry's extends back to the 1850's, when Bruce Fry's great-great-grandfather on Jerry's mother's side, Cornelius Mohr, left his job on a whaling ship in the port of San Francisco and began a farming operation on a Spanish land grant near what later became Hayward (Alameda County). 

This 2008 vintage explodes with fragrances of blueberries, cherries, pepper, and earth. In the mouth, it’s a silky, expansive, full-bodied, savory wine with beautifully integrated acidity, wood, alcohol, and tannin. Soft tannins add to the luscious texture of this delightful wine. These compact berries produce wines that explode on impact in the mouth, with layers of blackberries, cassis and liquorice.

The tropical fruits and pear flavors of this Chardonnay coupled with a subtle crisp finish make this a surprisingly diverse wine. Enjoy this Chardonnay with grilled or lightly smoked fish or poultry.

This is a sweet white wine that has light fruity flavors.  Easy to drink on a hot summer's day. Great with Spicy dishes, Fruit Salads, or just to drink with your favorite friends.
Especially aromatic, this features soft, sweet, ripe fruit scents with notes of baked apples, apricots and honey. 

This Chardonnay is a "true Oregon Appellation" experience.  We source the best chardonnay grapes for this wonderful "blend of Oregon appellations".   The nose opens up clean and refreshing.  The middle has Asian Pears and Plantains.  The finish is light and smokey.  This vintage is lighter on the oak finish than the 2005 vintage.  If you ask Eric (our operations manager), he thinks this is one of the BEST LaCreole Chardonnay's that Steve has made today!  Try it for yourself.

2005 Vintage was a :
10 time award winner, and a house favorite as well.

Enjoy with a variety of Chicken and Pork dishes.

This is so good and it was just bottled.  There is hardly any bottle shock - nice bright fruit nose with a rich chewy finish.
Rotary-fermented to extract soft rich tannins, this wine was barrel-aged in older American Oak for one year. This rich Zinfandel makes a great companion for roasts, grilled game and turkey. Try it with smoked orange marinated duck with a chanterelles and sage.
