Cliff Creek Cellars

100% Estate Grown from Sams Valley Vineyard

GOLD – San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition 2010

Not your average Merlot, this wine presents initial aromas of black fruit and cassis with a touch of earthy spiciness. The flavors of blackberry, plums and blueberry are balanced by notes of coffee and white pepper. Harmonious acidity and tannin give this Merlot structure and interest.

Production: 150 cases

100% Estate Grown Syrah from Sam’s Valley Vineyard in Gold Hill, Oregon. A nose of dark chocolate and black cherry, this well-balanced wine presents itself with a smooth mouth with black raspberry flavors and a hint of smokiness. This wine is rich and has a full body. Very drinkable now and will be better in time.

48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot

It is a classic Bordeaux style wine, with aromas of wild mountain blackberries and the perfect thread of Cabernet Franc’s acidity and zest. Well-balanced with sweet tannins and complex layers.
