Aurora
Vines
2004
Merlot
Rogue
Valley
Handcrafted from grapes grown in the warm
region of Southern Oregon's Rogue Valley. A beautiful deep violet
color is the first indication this is not your typical Merlot. The
quality of the fruit is ripe and dark, exhibiting black cherry, ripe blackberries
and cassis flavors. Subtle floral and spice notes accent the bold
fruit adding complexity and layering both aroma and flavor. This
vintage can be enjoyed now for it's freshness and intensity, but will only
improve with further bottle aging.

2007
Pinot Gris Pace Family Vineyard
The Pace Family Vineyard
is adjacent to our Black Oak Vineyard, on a moderately sloping west facing
hillside. This vintage was an unusually cool one, which resulted in a wine
with softer citrus notes but a pleasing hint of sweetness. We vinified
the wine in the traditional Alsatian manner in older oak barrels, with
7 months aging, producing a wine with the classic citrus flavor and a ripe
pear bouquet.

2007 Gewürztraminer
(semi-sweet)
This vintage was a great one for gewürz
which produced intensely flavored fruit. The wine was fermented and aged
in small stainless steel barrels, and bottled early to retain all of it's
freshness and zest. The wine contains 2.5% residual sugar. The wine has
a delightful ripe apple aroma along with a honeyed flavor.

2007
Pinot Noir - Umpqua Valley
Grapes from our two
estate vineyards as well as neighboring vineyards were the sources for
this wine. It has a complex bouquet of tobacco/smoke, delicate flavors
of cherry and vanilla, and a lingering toasty finish. The wine was aged
in a combination of French, Hungarian and American oak cooperage.

Pinot Noir - Barrel Select
Eight barrels from
our total production of seventy six were chosen to produce this bottling.
A luxurious texture compliments a hint of smoke in the aroma, a wonderful
candied cherry flavor base and delightful complexity. The wine was aged
in 38% new Hungarian and American oak barrels.

Pinot Noir - 2006 Black Oak Vineyard
This wine was made
from a portion of our estate vineyard which frequently has a low per acre
yield and reaches a higher level of ripeness than the rest of the vineyard.
We suspect that this characteristic explains why it consistently produces
our most intense yet smoothest finishing wine. The 2006 bottling is a very
age worthy wine, with an expansive bouquet, delightful black cherry/blackberry
flavors, and a lingering finish.

This Zinfandel is ripe with aromas of raspberry,
plums, sage, blackberry jam and black pepper. Flavors notes of raspberry
and bing cherry that typify this red varietal. Barrel aging provides
hints of oak and vanilla to the wine - leaving a soft, smooth caramel &
cocoa finish. The Zin's structure of tannin and fruit creates a well
balanced, smooth wine to be enjoyed with grilled meats, spicy sauces and
a wide array of fruits and cheeses. The 2005 vintage release of V-Twin
Zin was blended to be big enough to stand on it's own as a cocktail, while
being exceptionally smooth & drinkable now.
