2003 Driftwood Merlot
13.5% Alcohol

Mid garnet red in color with an aroma of mixed berries and cherries, overlain by leathery and savory notes. The palate is soft and smooth. Fresh fruit flavors are complemented by oak-derived vanilla and spice and mellowed by mature characters of leather and mushroom. Light dusty tannins, sweet fruit flavors and soft acid linger on the finish of a light yet satisfying wine for current drinking.

2004 Driftwood Chardonnay
13.5% Alcohol

This brilliant golden wine has an intense aroma redolent of ripe peaches, hints of passionfruit and pawpaw and the richness of butterscotch and cream which has been derived from fermentation and 10 months maturation in quality French Oak. These full flavors linger seductively on the palate and are complemented by a clear and fresh finish.
