2008 Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc Sierra Foothills
This wine has a luscious Late Harvest character with notes of honey, melon and jasmine. The incredibly sweet velvet liquid slides smoothly over the tongue and leaves a lingering taste of Sauvignon Blanc. It's light acid and low alcohol of only 10% makes it very easy to enjoy the long slow finish.
2005 Meritage California
This is a remarkable and deeply delicious wine! It just works on so many levels. This is a wine of nearly perfect balance, with bright flavors, aromas and acidity. A big and juicy wine with character, great flavors and brilliant brightness. Its a fun wine with a serious side. Its bright acidity makes it a natural companion for a great meal. Of course, though, this wine has enough complexity and character to make it a really interesting and exciting wine to enjoy all on its own.

"The general consensus among Napa Valley vintners and growers is that the 2003 growing season is one they will not soon forget. Early rains and late heat spikes contributed to lower overall yields, but produced a vintage with high quality, great color concentration and intensity of flavors." -Napa Valley Vintners
"Each wine is an excellent example of the Murphy Vineyards winemaking style; elegant and smooth"
