Our 2021 estate grown Grenache continues its streak of producing world-class rosé. A plentiful crop yielded beautiful citrus and berry flavors that remained prevalent throughout fermentation. A three-day cold soak on skins was just enough contact time to create a beautiful pink hue that bursts with clarity. The 2021 Rosé intrigues the senses with aromas of guava, strawberry-kiwi lemonade and honeycomb followed by hints of fresh meringue and tangerine. The palate is similarly refreshing with flavors of lime zest and peach followed by a chalky, mouth-watering finish.

The 2018 Petite Sirah is bold and lush with deep wild berry, floral and earthy aromas. Combining this fruity intensity with excellent acidity, our Petite Sirah offers big jammy flavors with restrained elegance. Inky hues promise rich qualities and this wine delivers. After explosive aromas of blackberry and plum, lavender and violet layer over cedar and dark chocolate before finishing with blueberry and black tea flavors. The structured tannins are slow on release, yielding a firm struc­ture that melts with rich food pairings.

Every year, our Zinfandel swells with the mysterious flavors of wild raspberry, rhubarb and holiday spice. The 2018 vintage offers a complex array of aromas, ranging from maple syrup and cranberry sauce to black peppercorn and dried clove. Its palate is dark and rich with blueberry tart and brown sugar crumble notes that swirl into strawberry and licorice depths. Freshly-rolled cigar and oregano come in at a finish that is braced by dusty tannins.

Redolent in aromas of redwood, sage, and baked cranberry, the 2019 is a stunning and bold vintage of this special grape.

The 2019 Reserve Syrah is at once spicy and savory, revealing the depths of this intense grape. Rhubarb and rosemary aromas wrap around redwood forest and spiced tea notes. The flavors continuously evolve with aeration, revealing supple layers as varied as black cherry and new leather, plum and toasted marshmallow, and baked cherry and tobacco. Rich tannins brace the long, lush finish that lingers with a touch of wild berry and a hint of vanilla stick.

In its 5^th leaf growing year, the Malbec Reserve continues to impress. This 6-barrel blend with 50% new oak is bold, elegant, and refined. The inky, dark violet hue is a great indicator of the rich lavender and blackberry aromas this wine displays. On the palate, flavors of blueberry truffle and smoked vanilla segue to cocoa and elderberry. The finish leaves the palate refreshed with mouth-watering flavors reminiscent of coastal sage, rhubarb, and a long-lasting salted caramel.

A grape famous for its plentiful tannins and dark, grapey flavors, our Petit Verdot lives up to and surpasses its reputation. Wild aromas of espresso, plum, and toasted coconut develop into dark blackberry and blueberry notes. The mouthfeel is weighty and luscious: violet, cocoa and walnut flavors wash into strawberry and brown sugar notes. Barrel aging for 18 months yielded a wine with serious but delicate tannin, followed by a beautiful acidity that keeps the wine vibrant and delicious.
