Mo Zin, California 2009 More Info
64% Zinfandel, 25% Mourvèdre, 11% Syrah
This is a throwback to the way Zinfandel was originally made 100 years ago, as a field
blend, which creates complex aromas and flavors as well as moderate alcohol (14.4%) for food-friendliness. This has
wonderful blackberry & raspberry aromas and flavors with a hint of black plum and spice. We recommend this with
anything grilled, from salmon and ahi tuna to lamb, pork tenderloin, chicken and beef. When you’re out of
Zin you need Mo Zin!

Cabernet Sauvignon Cross
Creek Vineyard, Sonoma Valley 2007 This single vineyard wine is from a 3 acre site at the very top of the Mayacamas Mountains,
perfectly situated on a western facing slope. All of the fruit from this vineyard was intended for our Mayacamas Range
Cabernet Sauvignon blend but as we tasted various vineyard sites from barrel to show visitors the differences elevation and
vineyard facings can make, they kept telling us how incredibly tasty this wine was and that we needed to bottle some by itself.
We're glad they convinced us to do it. We selected the best two barrels and bottled a scarce 48 cases.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Mayacamas
Range “Twenty-Six Barrels” 2006 More Info76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot & 6% Petit Verdot
Only 645 cases produced
This comes from our
estate vineyard at 1,700 feet of elevation in the Mayacamas Mountains of Sonoma Valley and grapes purchased from several neighbors.
Aged in new and older French oak barrels, this wine has a marvelous red cherry aroma and taste with wonderful richness, balance
and a long, elegant finish. All grapes were grown using sustainable farming practices.
"This is a delicious Cabernet
Sauvignon that continues to offer aromas of pure blackberries and black currant fruit that are mirrored on the palate.
Ripe and rich tasting on the palate, it offers wonderful black fruit flavors with notes of sweet chocolate, a silky mouth
feel, round tannins and a long finish. We have enjoyed tasting this wine over the years; it is a real winner." Rated: 91 points -International Wine Review

Betsy’s Backacher, California
Lot 8 More Info 34% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 13% Petite Sirah, 11% Merlot, & 9% Zinfandel
Named after our mountainside vineyard, this was originally made as a special treat for our friends and
family members who helped us during harvest. When word got out how great this tasted at the end of a hard days' work we were
inundated with requests for it so we had to make it one of our regular offerings. This serious but fun-loving, drink-me-now
house wine is great by itself and also with barbeque, pizza or other richly flavored foods.

Mouvèdre, California 2009 - More Info
80% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah only 122 cases producedMourvèdre is one of our favorite grape varieties which we use primarily to give raspberry aromas
and flavors and a rich, full mouth-feel to our Mo Zin. By popular demand we started bottling a Mourvèdre in 2007, blended with a small
amount of Syrah. This is similar to a Pinot Noir in weight and is great with salmon, pork (especially tenderloins) or grilled chicken.
