White Merlot
|
2005
|
White Merlot: A Christmas classic that was introduced first at Rose Hill
Manor, Stonewall, Texas.
The ruby color grabs your attention and the fruity nose excites you as
you savor the sweetness and fruit forward presentation of a grand red
grape. It is a blend of Merlot and Chenin Blanc (85%/15% respectively).
We recommend smoked turkey for this or any pasta dish to your liking.

Merlot
|
2004
|
Merlot: A Texas Hill Country Merlot that will mesmerize you and your
friends. A smooth, well balanced but delicate wine, having a black cherry
nose, plum accents and a hint of pepper. It was aged a full year in
French and American oak and is alive with soft chewy tannins. We
recommend pairing this fabulous wine with smoked quail, duck, lamb, pork
loin or venison

Cabernet Sauvignon
|
2004
|
Cabernet Sauvignon: The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is Pillar Bluff’s second
release. Barrel samples of this Cabernet came alive with currants and
black cherries with a hint of tobacco. We would recommend lamb chops
prepared in a rosemary herb sauce, duck or a hearty steak. Drinking a
glass of this wine with a simple fire and a good book is an enjoyable way
to wind down the day.

Boar Doe
|
2004
|
Boar Doe: A classic Bordeaux
blend with 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Malbec
and Petite Verdot completing the blend. This is a very complex but
enjoyable wine that has been compared to some of the best wines of the
world.

Chenin Blanc

2005

The start of summer has arrived with this wine. Demi-sweet and perfect
with a cheese plate, fruit or a light salad.

Chardonnay
|
2005
|
Chardonnay: The apples, pears and a hint of citrus bursts from your glass
in this carefully crafted wine. There is a slight hint of oak but don’t
expect to get bogged down with a heavy styled Chardonnay because this one
is light, spritzy and full of energy. A lightly grilled tuna steak with
sesame seeds is a great start for the meal.
