Campus Oaks "Old Vine" Zinfandel 2003 Lodi

• Sourced from four seperate blocks of vineyards which average 90 years of age, this Zinfandel delivers a great nose, wonderful mouth-feel, good legs and a silky-smooth finish. 
• Just released, this wine has already received 90 points from the California State Fair Competition. It's easy to see why this varietal has become the Signature wine of  Campus Oaks.
• All of our Old Vine Zinfandels, since 1997, have received over one hundred awards and high-acclaim. The 2003, we believe, is our finest effort to date!

Campus Oaks Merlot 2003 Amador

• Hints of cherry and mixed berry notes, surrounded by a smooth vanilla creaminess found only with wine aged in French oak. 
• Sourced from vineyards near Sutter Creek, Amador County, California, this vintage enjoys the bold, fruity, sun-drenched flavor which has made this area one of America's fastest-growing wine regions.

Campus Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 Sierra Foothills

• The Sierra Foothills Wine Region has, for many years, been California's best kept wine secret -- but no longer! The wines that really stand out here are the deep, flavorful red wines such as our wonderful 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon.

• A lovely fruit-filled Cabernet with soft approachable, silky cassis-berry flavors.

Campus Oaks White Zinfandel 2005 Lodi

• Pleasing to the eye with its deep-rose color, this variety delivers the easy-drinking smoothness you've come to expect from a White Zinfandel

An exceptional alternative to all those other White Zins.

• Produced using our own arrested fermentation process, this White Zinfandel maintains its own natural sugars, leaving a crisp, refreshing sweetness on the finish, without the sticky-mouth residue common to most white zins.

Campus Oaks Chardonnay 2004 Estate Collegeville

• Grown and produced from our Collegeville location. This wine is well balanced with forward green apple and lemon notes, leading to a crisp, clean and refreshing finish

 "The perfect summer sipping Chardonnay"

• Outstanding value in today's wild Chardonnay market. Very few chardonnay producers can afford to enrich their chardonnays through barrel-fermentation, as we can.

"Cum Laude" 2002 Old Vine Zinfandel Lodi:

• A limited production, single-vineyard wine, which was aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels to produce a well-rounded and elegant spice-driven flavor.  This intense wine was handcrafted using low-impact techniques to bring out its natural qualities.

"YN" = "WINE"

YN: (wine) n. 1. Fun, clever, California wine.  Blended from fine varietals, these fun-loving, easy-drinking wines represent an exceptional value gauranteed to fit almost any occasion.

YN- Red "No Vintage"

• An all-purpose, everyday, red blended wine that offers an exceptional nose, fruity mid-range and a smooth finish.  Fruity enough to be drank alone, and yet complex enough to be enjoyed with a meal.  A good all-purpose wine.
• Combining Syrah, our award-winning Old Vine Zinfandel, Viognier and Muscat for a touch of sweetness on the aftertaste, this wine offers a flavor profile unique to its field.

YN- White "No Vintage"

• A blended white wine with a buttery, rich flavor and a clean, crisp finish.  The perfect outdoor beverage for summer entertaining.
• Deriving its unique profile from a combination of Chardonnay, Viognier and Muscat grapes, this wine offers a bountiful mid-range with a hint of sweetness at the finish.
