Ghost Rider
Sweet White Merlot

Those who have seen him say that he only rides when the full moon rises. Sometimes, they say, you can only sense his presence. Never will we know what twist of fate causes his spirit to ride for an eternity. Celebrate the Spirit of the Old West with the Ghost Rider. Enjoy this sweet wine with spicy foods, barbeque, or after dinner. Please serve chilled.

This is our most popular wine. It has a light lavender bouquet, flavors of black cherries and ripe plum with a date tart finish.

Jackass Blush
Sweet Blush

What do you say about a Jackass?  Just like some people you know, he stops when the cowboy wants to go, turns left when he should turn right, backs-up when he should go forward.  Simply confounding and uncontrollable!!  This is what our winemaker kept saying while making this wine—“What a jackass!”  The name stuck but the wine turned out sweet, colorful and full of flavor with a lingering finish.  So, cheers to the Jackass!!  Even in the Old West, sometimes wrong turned out to be right.  Enjoy this fun wine, but please chill before serving.

Take a tropical get-a-way with this fun wine with an aroma of orange blossoms, tastes of key lime pie and a mango finish.

Taste $1.00        Glass $6.00        Bottle $20.00    Case $220.00


2007 Lone Wolf
Lenoir

The agile and keen lone wolf and the rugged cowboy both used their adept skills to hunt and survive every day, both preferring to live alone in the wilderness.  There is a certain freedom to that, but only similar souls would understand.  Sensing a presence, their eyes locked with knowing looks of mutual admiration, both fighting the gnawing loneliness that welled up in the moment.  It was the price they willingly paid for their life without boundaries.  These kindred spirits, each with no fear of the other, nodded in acknowledgment that, for at least right now, there was no threat in the air.  Celebrate the freedom of the Old West with this dry red wine alone in its class and bursting with flavor that knows no limits.

Aroma of ripe plum with tastes of blackberries and cranberries. Green aplle tart finish.

Taste $1.00        Glass $7.00        Bottle $26.00    Case $286.00


Desperado
Everybody knew that Lil was his girl and that she did not want to be with the Sheriff. When he went to call on her, he found Lil struggling to free herself from the Sheriff's embrace. He grabbed the Sheriff, but the Sheriff pulled his gun.  It was a reflex reaction by Lil, but in the next second the Sheriff was dead.  He would not let Lil take the blame so he was wanted and on the run. Celebrate the gallantry of the Old West with this fine, dry red wine blend.

Hints of oak, licorice, white pepper, and black plum. Blend of Cabernet, Barbera, Lenoir and Syrah. Enjoy!

Taste $1.00        Glass $7.00        Bottle $23.50    Case $258.50


2007 Belle Starr
She understood, but never accepted, the fact that her beloved husband was accidentally shot and killed by a Sheriff's posse. Her huge ranch became a safe refuge for those wanted by the law but only if she thinks they have been misjudged. Her beguiling smile enchants the lawmen who depart her ranch certain the desparados are long gone. No one stops to ponder how such a refined, gentle, and delicate woman runs her ranch so smoothly. Celebrate the cocksure waywardness in the Spirit of the Old West with this deliciously delicate dry white wine with surprising flair.

The wonderful aroma of ruby red grapefruit. Very mellow with tastes of tangerine and a peach finish. Made with Blanc Du Bois Grapes.

Taste $1.00        Glass $6.00        Bottle $20.00    Case $220.00


Premium Dry Red Wines

2006 Diablo
Dashing and flamboyant as he rode into town dressed in long, black suede, he easily stole the hearts of the ladies. His hidden intent was to fool the ladies while making the town his own. Little did the townspeople know that the devil had arrived and havoc would soon follow. How deceptive he was with rugged good looks, blue eyes and easy humor. All the while, hiding his dark and evil nature until he felt comfortable that his goal was near. Enjoy this dry and spicy wine with surprisingly smooth fruit flavor but beware the horns.

Dry and spicy, but with smooth and mellow tannins. Woody aroma with tastes of black plum and white pepper.

Taste $2.00        Glass $8.00        Bottle $31.00    Case $341.00


2006 Silver Spur

It arrived by Pony Express wrapped in brown paper but without a return address.  Her hands trembled as she held the Silver Spur.  She knew it to be John's.  Lil did not regret killing the Sheriff, but living without her beloved John was punishment enough.  But what signal was John sending her?  Clutching the Spur, joy filled her heart when she realized that the Desperado was still alive, free, and making a new life somewhere so that they could be together again.  Celebrate the romance of the Old West with this fruit forward dry red blend.

Aroma of licorice. Very smooth and mellow with tastes of ripe raspberries with a finish of tart cherry.

Taste $2.00        Glass $9.00        Bottle $36.00    Case $396.00


Lil's Red Satin
Lil was remorseful about John taking the blame for her killing the sheriff. She begged him not to, but he was a stubborn and gallant man. With the love of her life gone and no hope of his return from his life as a Desperado, she turned to a wealthy railroad tycoon for comfort. She did really love the lavish gifts he bestowed upon her. Her favorite was red satin. Enjoy this very mellow dry red wine with a hint of spice that fills the palate with a delightful texture reminiscent of red satin. Celebrate the hardihood of the women in the Spirit of the Old West.

Dry and rich with ripe flavors of pomegranate, black cherry and blackberries.

Taste $2.00        Glass $10.00        Bottle $40.00    Case $440.00


Almagres
Lenoir

The Apache Indians knew of its existence first and led the Spanish explorers to Los Almagres in 1753; a mine rumored to be rich with gold and silver located in what is now Llano County , Texas . Because of Indian attacks on the expeditions, the exact location of this mine was lost. Legendaries such as Stephen F. Austin and Jim Bowie spoke of the mine and hopeful cowboys searched for it. But was it at Packsaddle Mountain or the Riley Mountains or maybe, somewhere else waiting to be rediscovered? You can explore and rediscover the richness of the Lenoir grape left in Texas long ago by those Spanish explorers in this wine; perhaps it is the true lost treasure from that time. Enjoy and celebrate the legends of the Old West.

Made in a ruby Port style with a sherry-like aroma. Smooth as velvet with full flavors of black plum and sugared blackberries.

Taste $3.00        Glass $10.00        Bottle $26.00    Case $286.00
