jp and York Creek winery

He was lucky to be the 1st of 4 people I tasted wine with today. although toothpaste and coffee were still in my tastebuds



York Creek is owned by Fritz Maytag who is from the washing machine, blue cheese family. In the past some great names have used his fruit, namely Ridge.



Merlot Spring Mountain 2005 massive fruit with a touch of heat.. a mans man merlot...nothing too wimpy here



Petite Verdot 2003 again dark color and juicy fruit. but who buys petite verdot by itself?



Caberet Franc 2005 Spring Mountain yummy.. must have liked it.. good texture and dark fruits.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 Estate dark cola coloring, good acid and tannins just right.

Cabernet Sauv 2004 Horseshoe oaky toasty nose, tight dark flavors needs time to open up but not sure if that is all it needs

Port 2005 made from traditional port grapes and a little zin and syrah. not overly sweet and pretty lush mouth feel. dark color of a ruby but nutty flavors of a tawny. in 375ml size
