Wilson Creek is one of the few wineries that still calls Temecula home. this region in southern california has grown grapes for longer than most remember but most are mom and pop places. the largest in this market was Callaway but they became central coast winery. To differentiate it from other wineries they have gone to some specialty wines and a few were tried today.
Golden Jubillee a blend of Colombard, chardonnay and chenin blanc. soft sweet but not dramatically so. nice touch of acidity on the end. probably look for this at our summer tasting.
White Cabernet 2006 this is an interesting wine because it takes the free run juice from cab before it has a chance to be tainted by the skins. smells kind of funky, grape flavor, go figure. a flat finish. for the money not a good buy.
Riesling 2006 cloyingly sweet nose, green apple and also a little dull on the finish.
Muscat Canelli 2005 pretty yellow color, smell of springtime in wine country to me...a touch of orange and citrus on the palate..very viscous also. nice
Cream Sherry made with the solera system from indigenous grapes. reminded me of Pedro Ximenez. rich and nice acidity.
Decadencia Port a dark chocolate infused zinfandel port. rich nose of chocolate. definitely could stand up to cigars. There was a hot finish but that is from the high alcohol.
