2011 Sauvignon Blanc
A girl's-eye view:One hour north of Napa, Lake County is a lovely place for the girls to grow up and flourish. Abundant sunshine warms our mornings and afternoons, replacing the pleasant cool of the evenings and nights. The vineyard is an ancient river bed with gravely soil the girls call home.What the girls look like:A pale straw yellow that reminds us of Languedoc sunflowers or the mustard that brightens the valleys of California's wine country every spring.What the girls smell like:A bowl of July's freshest fruit with a touch of minerality.What the girls feel like:That same feeling of riding your bike to a river and dipping your legs over a dock into the circling eddies below even if you're wearing your best Sunday dress. It is refreshing and alive and especially memorable for anyone over 21. So put on crisp linens or cut-off jeans and enjoy a distinct yet delicate white wine experience that can be enjoyed and shared.What the girls taste like:Citrus and the crispness of fresh cut pineapple that finishes with a bit of lemongrass and fig.Matchmaking the girls:When it comes to romancing food, these girls pair up without a lot of fuss or prep time. Our girls have pretty varied tastes so they'll confidently befriend a variety of appetizers, entrees and culinary adventures. If it is something you might squeeze a lemon on, you can enthusiastically introduce it to Sauvignon Blanc. Think crab cakes, smoked salmon, stuffed oysters or lightly sauced chicken. You could even try some Caribbean with a little Bob Marley. Whether in your home, poolside, or perched on a cafe table downtown, you'll find that the girls in the vineyard are very flexible and ready to animate any occasion.the girls in the vineyard, raise a glass and your expectationsYour purchase will generate a $2.00 per bottle donation for your favorite charity. -
2011 Rose
Forget what you know about Rosé. This wine is so much more. It is beautiful. From the color to the aroma to the taste. It is fresh, bright and interesting. It is summer in a bottle. The only thing that will be on our table this summer is fresh fruit, garden salad, a baguette and this wine. It is that good.Appellation

2011 Cabernet Sauvignon
About 2011
True to form, the 2011 exhibits intensity and balance but with an extra level of richness
reflecting this wonderful year. A judicious use of French Oak of mixed toasts gives this
vintage added elegance and grace.

Some words about the girls
Our girls lead an extravagantly simple way of life, proving in every glass that good
breeding and abundant sunshine pays off. The sustainably farmed Beckstoffer Family
Amber Knolls Vineyard is where the girls call home. They enjoy bright intense sunlight
moderated by cooling sea breezes from the west; we harvest them before sunrise in the
days prior to the fall rains.
A girl's eye view
The girls look up from their 2,000-2,400 ft. elevation, and enjoy a stunning panorama of Clear Lake and Mt. Konocti, languidly gazing on the morning fog below. Looking down, they can usually see themselves reflected in the obsidian rocks mixed throughout the bright red, vocanic soil. The upper slopes of the Beckstoffer Amber Knolls Vineyard in the Red Hills, is the exact address.
What the girls look and smell like
They look like a lovely rich and elegant garnet. And the smell is a blend of cassis, current and the deepest darkest cherry.
What the girls feel like
You know how a silk scarf can just slip from your shoulder unexpectedly. This
middleweight wine delivers glide-from-your-shoulder silkiness.
What the girls taste like
Cassis and bramble fruit with a hint of Mother Earth and sufficient cocoa to make it
interesting.
