Tasting Notes

Aromas of honeydew melon, almond marzipan and baked apple pie. The palate showcases citrus blossom, mineral and flinty characteristics. Creamy yet tart qualities abound with a lush finish.

Tasting Notes

Vare 2005 Bianco is a robust blend of Ribolla Gialla, Pinot Grigio, Tocai Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, all of which were slowly fermented in once-used French oak barrels. The wine, which was bottled at the end of May 2006, is medium bodied, with floral flavors and a long finish. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif, with appetizers or with medium-bodied main dishes.

From the Winery

Vare Vineyards is a small, focused project of George and Elsa Vare, making hand-crafted Italian-style white wines from the vineyards around their house in the Napa Valley. These wines are fashioned after special wines made by their winemaking friends in Collio (Friuli, Italy and Slovenia). The Vares are constantly experimenting with different cultural practices in the vineyards, differing harvest...

Tasting Notes

This Pinot Grigio is vibrant and refreshing. It has lively aromas of ripe pear, peach and apricots. The wine is full-bodied yet has crisp acidity. Melon and citrus flavors linger on the finish.

From the Winery

The 2006 Esca Pinot Grigio was made from 100% Sonoma County grapes grown in the Russian River AVA. The wine was fermented in stainless steel and aged for 8 months in neutral French oak barrels.

Esca means "allurement" or "bait" in Italian. Just as the nectar of the Hibiscus flower attracts the bee on the label, these wines entice the enophile.
