Three Kings – New for 2010! *BRONZE MEDAL WINNER*
Sweet Strong
LaBelle Winery’s Three Kings is named for winemaker Amy LaBelle’s Three Kings: her husband and two sons. The wine is aptly named, as it blends three of LaBelle’s favorite flavors into one beautiful marriage of Red Raspberry, Blueberry and Marechol Foch grape. A dessert wine made in the port-style and infused with apple brandy, Three Kings is great with desserts like cheesecake or creme brule, or top quality creamy cheeses. It’s also wonderful with chocolate!
Halcyon – New for 2010! Available this Summer
Crisp Light Fresh
LaBelle Halcyon blends our Riesling and Apricot wines into a delightful, slightly sweet wine. On the nose, it brings forward appealing scents of apricot, pineapple and pear. On the palate, Halcyon blossoms to a rich, luscious, smooth wine offering delicious, ripe summer apricot and peach fruit. Crisp, racy acidity keeps all this fruit forward flavor from being heavy and makes the wine a mouthwatering delight. Wonderful with a wide variety of foods, especially seafood, chicken and Asian cuisine.
