"The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva is lush and juicy, revealing aromas and flavors of dark red plum, raspberry jam, and ripe black cherries. Fermented with select yeast and aged in 40% new French oak, it shows bright acidity and fine firms tannins though to the finish."

.

A grape famous for its plentiful tannins and dark, grapey flavors, our Petit Verdot lives up to and surpasses its reputation. Wild aromas of tar, plum, toasted coconut, orange peel, and sugar cookie develop into dark pomegranate and blueberry notes. The mouthfeel is weighty and luscious: violet, cocoa and walnut flavors wash into darker coffee, strawberry, and brown sugar notes. Despite barrel ageing for over three years, this wine has serious tannins, but its lively acidity keeps it vibrant and luscious.

"This top-shelf red blend from television producers Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick shows cooked blackberry, purple flower, soy and anise aromas on the nose. Oregano and marjoram lead the palate, which is moderately dense, with tangy blackberry and boysenberry flavors." -Matt Kettmann

"Opaque ruby. Vivid dark berry and cherry pit scents are sharpened by suggestions of smoky minerals and exotic spices. Juicy and precise in the mouth, offering intense black currant, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors and a touch of candied licorice. Puts on weight with air and finishes sappy and very long, with building spiciness and gently gripping, harmonious tannins."  -Josh Raynolds

Redolent in aromas of gingerbread, rose petal, and sugar cookie, the 2014 is a stunning vintage of this special grape. Famous for earthy intensity and a magenta-black hue, Alicante Bouschet reaches a new level of elegance here. The mouthfeel is luscious, soft, and dense, and this wine unfolds in layers of red fruit and an array of bold spices. Pomegranate, peppermint, and olallieberry flavors develop into deeper notes of truffle, lavender, and plum. The wine finishes clean, with a strong acidity that culminates in the lingering flavors of a fresh raspberry tart.

.

A noble Italian grape, Sangiovese is world-famous for its silky texture and depth of flavor. Strong, savory aromas of cardamom, cola, and sage entice, and are enriched by the full black cherry and leather notes on the palate. Deceptively smooth, the Sangiovese offers layers of intriguing spice and a mouthwatering acidity. Enjoy with a spicy cioppino or hearty pasta puttanesca.

"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve offers up an attractive nose of currant fruit and creamy new oak. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, nicely concentrated and bright, with a juicy line of acidity, fine-grained tannins and a youthfully chewy finish..." -William Kelley

Bright violet. Oak-spiced cherry and dark berries on the pungent nose, along with woodsmoke and floral nuances. Plush and open-knit, offering juicy black currant and cherry-vanilla flavors that tighten up slowly on the back half. Finishes warm, supple and broad; dusty tannins add grip to the oak-spiced fruit.

"Offering up creamy aromas of cassis and plums, the 2014 Petite Sirah Estate is a full-bodied, richly tannic wine with a nice core of fruit." -William Kelley

Every year, our Zinfandel swells with the mysterious flavors of tobacco, briars and suede. The 2014 vintage offers a complex array of aromas, ranging from violet and marzipan to black peppercorn and dried currants. Its palate is dark and rich, with pomegranate and gingerbread flavors swirling into cola and molasses depths. Freshly-rolled cigar and dark chocolate come in at a finish that is braced by firm, hearty tannins.

The 2015 Cabernet Franc Reserve is aromatically enticing, offering initial waves of blueberry jam, lavender, and anise that segue into deeper, nuttier notes of browned butter and spicy black pepper. With an opulent mouthfeel, this wine unfolds in layers of fruit, spice and earthiness. The flavors are robust and intense, with blackberry, molasses, and strawberry undergirded by deeper notes of black currant, maple syrup, and bittersweet chocolate.

An earthier year for our Grenache, the 2015 offers a surprising array of intense aromas: French vanilla, raspberry, cherry, and clove swirl from the glass. This silky wine flows over the palate in waves of plum, root beer, and cinnamon stick. Sturdy tannins give the finish a solid end that is lifted by a lasting high note of gentle acidity.

The 2015 Reserve Syrah is at once spicy and savory, revealing the depths of this intense grape. Elderberry and rosemary aromas wrap around bold truffle and lavender notes. The flavors continuously evolve with aeration, revealing supple layers as varied as blackberry and cedar, plum and graphite, and violet and prosciutto. Rich tannins brace the long, lush finish that lingers with a lick of wild berry and a hint of vanilla bean.

This graceful vintage offers delicate aromas of lemon meringue, pear skin, wet stone, and marzipan. The mouthfeel is light and creamy up front, with notes of kiwi, orange blossom, and melon washing over the palate. A subtle hint of honeycomb chimes in at the finish, which is bright yet rich.

Copper-tinged pale pink. Effusively fruit nose of red berries with a touch of citrus zest. Bold, red-fruited flavors that recall dark colored grapes. Very well done. A blend of co-fermented 76% Grenache, 11% Zinfandel, 8% Petite Sirah, and 5% Syrah. 

The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc was grown on the steep hillsides of our oldest vineyard block and was harvested in small lots over the course of several days to optimize fruit complexity. Aging in stainless steel preserved the tangy acidity of this elegant wine, while lees contact added creaminess and longevity to the mouthfeel. The aromatics of this wine are bright and enticing: lemon meringue, lime zest, and gooseberry rise out of the glass in rich, fruity waves. Abundant flavors of cider apples, vanilla cream, and green papaya finish with an invigorating wet stone and grapefruit finish. Drink this wine chilled for a refreshing treat, or enjoy at cellar temperatures for a rich accompaniment to spicy seafood or creamy cheeses.
