Our Wines

The 47 Friends table wines form the base of Ancient Oak Cel­lars’ offer­ings. Blend­ing to cre­ate table wines gives the wine­maker the free­dom to select the best fla­vor com­po­nents that marry ripe, young intense fruit fla­vors with more mel­low, com­plex flavors.

They are a wine to take to din­ner at a friend’s house, and are also afford­able enough to drink any evening when the day’s work, the kids’ soc­cer games, the gar­den­ing, and your yoga class are all finally completed.

Yel­low Hawk Cellar’s dry-style Mus­cat Canelli is not a dessert wine. Rather, it is a fresh wine, with fra­grant trop­i­cal notes well-balanced by crisp cit­rus tones.

This dry-style Mus­cat Canelli is per­fectly suited to drink­ing with spicy foods such as Thai and Indian, as well as other strongly-flavored foods.

This crisp, sweet dessert wine offers a light fra­grance of hon­ey­suckle and jas­mine, fol­lowed by essence of man­darin orange, ripe pear, and a hint of caramel.

This unique blend exhibits robust fla­vors of green apple, grape­fruit, peach, hazel­nut and laven­der, with notes of vanilla left to linger in the fin­ish. The 2% resid­ual sugar is nicely com­ple­mented by bright acidity.

Pebblestone’s Pinot Gris was very lightly pressed to extract only the essence of the Pinot Gris grape, leav­ing behind harsh tan­nins. It was aged 6 months on its lees, result­ing in a wine burst­ing with fla­vors and with a rich mouth feel. With its crisp acid­ity and rich mouth feel, this bril­liantly clear wine is an excel­lent com­ple­ment to with appe­tiz­ers and Asian food.

The bright acid attacks your tongue before the apple, apri­cots and peach fla­vors come in to soothe the palate. The fin­ish has a pinch of sweet­ness – all mak­ing for a refresh­ing, deli­cious glass of wine.

The very warm grow­ing sea­son of 2007 pro­duced some lovely aro­mas of peaches and cream and lychee nut.  This vin­tage has a big­ger mouth­feel than the acclaimed 2006 Ries­ling, while still deliv­er­ing refresh­ing acid­ity.  Fin­ished in an off-dry style.

Dry, not sweet, this lively beauty is rich with fresh berry fla­vors and color.

Rosato is a ver­sa­tile wine cre­ated for year-round plea­sure.  Enjoy with baked ham, seafood, sushi, salad courses, fresh and aged cheeses.  Also a crisp part­ner to fruit courses, green salad, pasta and potato sal­ads, and grilled or roasted chicken.   Serve lightly chilled.

An ele­gant com­pan­ion, Lyset’s Sauvi­gnon Blanc cou­ples lus­cious fla­vors and flo­ral notes with bright, crisp acid­ity.  The crisp acid­ity makes it light on the tongue, while sub­tle flo­ral notes give it a rich, round mouth feel.

Lyset means light – or can­dle – in Nor­we­gian.  The Lyset brand pays trib­ute to the Nor­we­gian her­itage of Ancient Oak Cel­lars’ owner.

Made in the saignee method, with free-run San­giovese and Mourvedre.

Notes of straw­berry, cherry pie, rhubarb are very promi­nent, with an under­cur­rent of red apple peel and pome­gran­ate.  A long-evolving sweet fin­ish has a kiss of cin­na­mon and cherry. This wine is per­fect for hot sum­mers in the cool shade.  Drink with appe­tiz­ers, through din­ner, and with dessert too!
