2006 Norton
Limited
Supply |
|  
|
 |
The 2006 Norton
wine is deliciously dry with a vibrant berry taste and ample flavors
of juicy plum and tart cherries. The soft, rounded tannins are
derived from aging in a combination of American and French oak, and
is crafted with enough acidity to complement a Pittsburgh charred
steak or any red meat demanding a wine that will stand up to it.

| Premium
Claret
Limited
Supply. Vintage 2002 |
|  
|
|
|
Our
Premium Claret is crafted from Norton grapes grown at our estate
vineyards where fertile soils and lots of Kansas sunshine combine
to create the fruit for this highly prized wine.
Traditionally fermented and skillfully vinified from Norton and
small amounts of other carefully selected grapes, our Premium
Claret is a robust, medium bodied table wine. A lengthy
contact time between the grape skins and the juice of the fruit
produces a smooth, velvety wine exhibiting a rich, spicy mouth
feel with a long peppery finish.

Pasta Vino
(formerly bottled as Spaghetti Red)
|
|  
|
|
|
Reminiscent of an Italian Chianti, our Pasta Vino is a fine. light,
dry wine. Using traditional fermentation, it is skillfully
vinified in a semi-noveau style that is pleasingly tannic.
The vividly purple-red color offers an intense aroma that is a bit
fruity. This wine has the legs to carry it straight to a decanter,
where thirty minutes of breathing will rush the fruitiness to the
front of your palate and soften the tannins. As the name implies,
enjoy it with spicy Mediterranean or traditional Italian cuisine.

| Heartland
Red |
|  
|
|
 |
Crafted in Kansas, this full-bodied wine possesses a style similar
to a light burgundy, but with the characteristics of a fine pinot
noir. Our Heartland Red is a dry red wine, fermented and aged
in oak to enhance the bouquet and accentuate the tannin structure.
It has a full, rich mouth-feel with prominent berry flavors, which
are attributes of the Chambourcin grapes native to the heartland,
and a spicy finish. It is an excellent choice for
beef, pork or veal dishes and is especially nice with fine cuts of
charcoal-grilled Kansas steaks. |

Sauvignon

This classic Cabernet is crafted from the finest grapes available.
The body and deep rich plum color gives a hint of what is to come
with an upfront berry flavor and rich tannins, eventually giving way
to a long, smooth finish. Aged in toasted oak barrels that add
to the wine's complexity, it is excellent paired with Kansas
beefsteak and other hearty red meats.
Elegant, complex and resolute, it is a mouthful
of cabernet that can be enjoyed now and should age well for another
decade. |

| Merlot

|
|
|
A
spectacular Merlot produced here in the nation's heartland. The
exotic suggestive of chocolate, black cherry and plum with hints of
the lightly toasted oak in which it has been aged makes our Merlot
elegant and complex. It is certain to please even the most
discerning palate, and should age well when properly cellared.
Lift a glass to complement your favorite beef, pork or veal dishes.

This
long-time popular wine from Smoky Hill Vineyards is crafted from a
blend of several grapes. "Czechoslovkian style" means it is a
sweet wine created to yield an abundance of fruit flavor. The
wine's brilliant cherry red hue invokes thoughts of the palette of
color found at many area festivals celebrating the heritage and
cultural diversity in Kansas. Light-bodied and sweet, it is great
with hamburgers fresh of the grill. Enjoy it served at room
temperature, or chilled to bring out the full fruitiness of the
wine. |
