2007 Cabernet Sauvignon contributes to The Scripps Research InstituteMolly Baber FundMolly Baber was a dear friend and one of the most dynamic and generous people we have ever known. She never missed an opportunity to give back to others. Molly passed away unexpectedly in May of 2004 while working to establish a research center at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego. We are pleased to be able to support her efforts by contributing a dollar from each bottle sold of our Cabernet Sauvignon to the research fund established in her name.Leslie & Molly traveled all over the world together sharing many adventures as co-workers at GTE in the early 1990s. She had a unique gift to motivate people to achieve their very best and she was a tireless mentor to many as they built their careers.The funds will directly contribute to research to help families deal with the chronic disease of diabetes and the life-long commitment represented by organ transplantation.To order the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon download the online order form.CHILI COOK-Off WINNING RECIPE Merlot Chick's Spicy Chicken ChiliServes 8-122qts of Organic chicken BrothBoneless skinless chicken (10-thighs and 6- breasts)Cumin to tasteChili powder to tasteFresh peppers diced 2-Serrano, 2-Jalapeno, 1-Anehiem, 1-Habenaro, 1-Red Bell pepper1-Fresh Onion Diced1-Chorizo sausage skinned1 can Diced tomatoes with green chili’s organic1pkg Simply Organic Spicy Chili mix2cups of Wm Church Malbec½ cup of mini dark nestle chocolate chips2cups Fresh Salsa (I used pica de gallo homemade)Fresh chopped cilantro & Tortilla chips for servingDIRECTIONS: WINTER 2010 SPECIAL RECIPE Italian Tortellini Sausage Soup |

The 2008 vintage features the lush fruit of Stillwater Creek Vineyard Syrah along with the bold and flavorful Chandler Reach & Dineen Vineyard Cabernet. This is our boldest & biggest wine that displays a dark magenta and violet color. Jammy raspberry & blackberry fruit fill the nose along with licorice and spice.

Full bodied with good grip & powerful concentration this wine remains well balanced and expressive throughout the finish. 250 Cases; $29/bottle 90 Points Seattle Metropolitan Magazine Gold Medal Seattle Wine Awards 2008 SYRAH This 100% Syrah is sourced from three premium vineyards: Dineen Family, Red Willow and Stillwater Creek. The blend of fruit from these vineyard sites lends complexity to the wine - inky and dark, filled with aromas of wild blackberry, sweet pipe tobacco and baking spices. The 2008 vintage Syrah was co-fermented with whole Viognier clusters to add a lifted, floral note to the nose and to intensify the deep purple color. This leads to an elegant, yet mouth filling Syrah that has well-integrated tannins and a lengthy finish. 196 cases produced; $26/bottle 90 Points Wine Enthusiast Gold Medal Washington Wine Summit 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON The 2007 Cabernet is 90% pure, silky Cabernet fruit from three of our favorite vineyards and 10% deep purple Petit Verdot.
