Renaissance 1996 Select Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc (North Yuba)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Intensely sweet, this is honey soft, rich in apricot, gingerbread crumble, crème brûlée and vanilla flavors, and crisp in acidity. The grapes were an astonishing 43% of brix at harvest.

Renaissance 1997 Premiere Cuvée Chardonnay (North Yuba)
- $35
The deep gold color here suggests age, as do the soft, vaguely oxidized flavors. Still, it shows some nice vanilla and baked apple notes, as well as slight chalk accents, on its toasty oak frame. Drink now.

Renaissance 2000 Viognier (North Yuba)
- $19
Atypical for a California Viognier, with citrus and honey flavors. You might mistake it for a Sauvignon Blanc, but it’s nonetheless tasty and refreshing. Polished, rich and balanced. Serve it well chilled with a mango salsa.

Renaissance 2003 Vin de Terroir Syrah (North Yuba)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Thickly soft and rustic, with simple berry-cherry jam flavors that finish with sugary sweetness. Not very sophisticated, but it will appeal to many.

Renaissance 2000 Granite Crown Vin de Terroir Red Wine (North Yuba)
- $40
A Rhône-Bordeaux blend of Syrah, Cab Sauvignon, Cab Franc and Merlot. Soft, simple and sweet; tastes like melted milk chocolate infused with blackberry essence, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and vanilla.

Renaissance 1998 Estate Bottled Chardonnay (North Yuba)
- $17
Fruity aromas are distant but clean. Orange, lemon and lime define the tart palate, and it's got a touch of powdered orange drink in there, too. High acidity drives this snappy, tart package.

Renaissance 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (North Yuba)
- $17
Modest blackberry aromas start things off, with a funky, cheesy undercurrent. Fruity in the mouth and dry, with little noticeable oak. This rough, earthy wine will do in a pinch.

Renaissance 2005 Vin de Terroir Viognier (North Yuba)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A clumsy wine. It’s semisweet in vanilla and lemon yogurt flavors, and soft, with a funky, soiled finish.
