Wattle Creek’s 2005 Mendocino Sauvignon Blanc has vibrant citrus flavors of lime and grapefruit. It has won several major awards including Gold Medals at the Pacific Rim International Wine Competition and the New World International Wine Competition. 5,100 cases of this wine were produced.
The 2002 Alexander Valley Shiraz is a voluptuous wine that pays homage to the Williams’ Australian heritage. It has dark fruit flavors of blackberry as well as distinctive spiciness and toast from oak age.
