2009 Reserve Chardonnay
Our 2009 Reserve Chardonnay was aged 18 months and stirred in barrel "sur-lie," with multiple yeasts at low temperatures and partial malolactic fermentation. Our winemaker's style of layering each barrel’s style, plus the natural grape acids highly concentrate our wine's bright, lush flavors of fragrant meyer lemon, ripe citrus, stone-fruits and touches of vanilla and honey with a long, clean and textured finish.

2011 Ivy Rose' de Syrah
It has been rumored that I can be a bit of a flirt. My vibrant aromas of crisp red berry and jasmine will undoubtedly enchant you, and my soft juicy kisses of fresh strawberry and pink grapefruit will leave you blushing. So, while I can't deny these rumors are true, is there really any harm in being lusciously flirtatious.

"Cousins Cuvée" Red Wine
This is a new release for Mueller Winery, and represents a new style of wine for us as well. In order to produce an everyday red wine with complexity and consistancy, we borrowed from an idea used in Portugal for producing nonvintage Port wine. In this system, multiple vintages are blended to produce a wine which does not change dramatically from year to year. Our first release of Cousins Cuvee Red is a blend which spans ten years of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Zinfandel. The majority of the blend is Pinot Noir. The name “Cousins Cuvée” is an homage to three cousins; Emily, Kevin and Tyler are the cousins and family members all closely involved in producing Mueller wines.
