Consistently the first variety off the vine each harvest, the Pinot Gris did not disappoint in 2022. Fresh tree fruits of Asian pear, crisp apple, and white nectarine resound on the nose with hints of honeydew. At first sip, these aromas transition to citrus flavors of lemon zest and apricot, while a gentle acidity glides over the palate revealing chalky undertones of vanilla stick and mountain flowers.

The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc was grown on the steep hillsides of our oldest vineyard block that still produces youthful and vibrant flavors. Nine months of aging in neutral French Oak softened the bright acidity of this elegant wine, while lees contact and stirring added creaminess and longevity to the palate. The aromatics of this wine are bright and enticing with golden pear, honeycomb, and gooseberry that rise out of the glass in creamy, tropical waves. Abundant flavors of crisp apple, blue agave, and meringue finish with an invigorating wet stone finish. Drink this wine chilled for a refreshing treat or pair with rich seafood dishes or creamy cheeses.

Redolent in aromas of dusted cherry, clove, and raspberry tea, the 2020 vintage is a stunning and elegant vintage of this special grape. Famous for earthy characteristics and a magenta hue, Alicante Bouschet reaches a new level of refinement in 2020. The mouthfeel is luscious, soft, and dense, as this wine unfolds in layers of red fruit and an array of bold spices and chalky tannins. Pomegranate, cherry cola, and nutmeg flavors develop into secondary notes of freshly rolled cigar and wet clay. The wine finishes clean, with a balanced acidity that culminates in the lingering flavors of a fresh raspberry tart.

Vivid color, rich flavor, and classic fragrances reverberate as one of VSJ’s signature wines. Initial aromas of spiced cherry and red velvet segue into bursts of cinnamon and clove. The first sips offer notes of rhubarb and butter pecan that lengthen into nutmeg and star anise, while lasting flavors of strawberry compote and raspberry are rounded off by elegant tannins. This wine’s smooth and refined texture is excellent for sipping on its own or pairing with roasted, wild game and summer vegetables.   

The 2020 Malbec is elegant, refined, and flavorful. The dark plum, violet hue is a great indicator of the fresh blueberry and olallieberry aromas this wine displays. On the palate, spicy flavors of strawberry compote and toasted almond segue to nutmeg, clove, and dusty cherry. The finish leaves the palate refreshed with mouth-watering notes of coastal lavender and rhubarb.  

Hand-picked from select rows between Block 2 and Block 3, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is bold and intense with vivid red fruit and robust structure. Aromas of Rainier cherry, clove, and rhubarb intermingle with spicy undertones of whiskey barrel and cinnamon. On the palate, this layered, full-bodied vintage offers hints of rosemary and pencil shavings along with caramel, red currant, and dried mulberry. The tannins are big and chalky hinting that this wine will only improve with age with a drinking window through 2035.

An unconventional blend of nine distinct varieties, the 2019 Chorum Red Reserve is a refreshing break from winemaking tradition.  Every year this wine showcases the intensity, the elegance, and the gusto from our vineyard. By using a majority of the dark, juicy Rhone varieties with subtle additions of our red fruit, tannin-driven Bordeaux varieties, this wine offers nuances that both layer and harmonize.

The 2019 Petite Sirah is bold and lush with deep wild berry, floral and nutty aromas. Combining this fruity intensity with excellent mouthfeel and balance, our Petite Sirah offers big flavors with restrained elegance. An inky hue promises rich qualities and this wine delivers. Explosive aromas of blackcurrant plum, lavender and violet layer over cedar and milk chocolate before finishing with blueberry and dried mulberry flavors. The tannins are silky on release, showcasing an age worthy struc­ture that melts with rich food pairings.

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.

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.

Every year, our Zinfandel swells with the mysterious flavors of wild raspberry, rhubarb and holiday spice. The 2019 vintage offers a complex array of aromas, ranging from black tea 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.
