2005 The Works, Kimberly’s Selection, Napa Valley
With the philosophy deeply ingrained in
his psyche that wine is a liquid food,
Gary Miller, an accomplished chef, parlayed
his career in the food industry to follow
his passion...winemaking. Gary has worked
for such notable wine producers as La
Jota, Martinelli, and Robert Biale. His
own brand, Miller Wine Works, is an expression
of all the paths Gary's life has taken,
from being raised in a rural, Western
New York family to becoming a Napa Valley
vintner. As a chef, Gary fully understands
the necessity of integration and balance
when the fruits of the land intermingle
with the fruits of one's labor. Who better
than a chef-winemaker to bring forth skillfully
integrated, well-balanced wine?

Winemaker Notes:
The 2005 Miller Wine
Works, The Works, Kimberly’s
Selection, Napa Valley is
our first attempt to create the Rhone
blend so many have requested over the
years. It exhibits notes of rose petals,
red cherry and kirsch liqueur on the nose.
Once on your palate, the wine sings with
the essence of dried wild strawberries,
framed by accents of spice and earthiness.
While medium in body and weight, (and
just coming in to its own!), this wine
will continue to develop nuance and complexity
for some time to come.
