Estate Wines

The 2016 Grant Station Carignane has proven to be a superb example of what our estate can produce. The aromas show fresh blueberries, lightly toasted cedar, strawberry jam and the slightest hint of chocolate mint. Remarkably, the flavors follow suit almost identically. This wine will age beautifully but can be enjoyed now if you must.

Producing only 99 cases, the age of this vineyard block requires it to be harvested by hand. The ripe clusters are ferried to the winery where the juice is pressed directly into a combination of new and neutral French oak barrels. Each barrel is stirred during fermentation to enhance body and mouth feel and to encourage a healthy fermentation. We allow the wine to go through its malolactic fermentation slowly and without inoculation.

With only 257 cases produced, these Petite Sirah grapes were harvested by hand in the early morning to ensure that the fruit is cool. The cold fruit will maintain its fruit flavor better then warm fruit picked in the heat of the sun. After being hand sorted, the fruit is fermented in small open top fermenters and punched down several times daily to maximize the extraction of color and intense flavors. When we feel the wine has the appropriate flavor and structure it is gently pressed into premium French oak barrels where it will age for 28 months.

The fruit was harvested at night and then destemmed to open top fermenters. The crushed grapes were kept cold for 4 days to extract the beautiful color and classic Zinfandel flavors, followed by 18 days of fermentation. After pressing, the wine was put to barrel. We used a combination of new French oak and new American oak where the wine was aged for 16 months. Only 141 cases produced.

Our Russian River Chardonnay has lovely aromas of apricot and vanilla spice. The wine is balanced nicely with toasty mid-palate flavors and a creamy finish. This is a multi-layered wine that can be enjoyed on it's own slightly chilled or with any meal where a full bodied white wine is appropriate.

New World fruit crafted with an old world sensibility. Beautiful aromas of cherry and vanilla are complimented by cola, raspberry and caramel on the palate. A creamy mouth feel is accompanied by a long, lingering finish.

Blackberry and dark chocolate aromas with a touch of anise and white pepper. This robust, elegant wine is full-bodied with black cherry and blueberry, with hints of toasted hazelnuts and sweet vanilla. This wine gives you a long, silky finish with luscious black fruits to the end.

An invigorating wine with lively acidity and loads of citrus fruit. Aromas of green grass and lime give way to subtle flavors of dried apricot, vibrant Meyer lemon and lime zest on the palate. A refreshing, food friendly wine.

Our Zinfandel expresses the unique flavors and aromas of the Russian River Valley. Red raspberry blends with blueberry and plum, followed by rich earthiness and spices. Our cool growing region produces a fruit forward, elegant style of Zinfandel with amazing flavors!

Blueberries, chocolate and black cherry are the predominant aromatics with a touch of spice. Smooth, fruity and very easygoing with ripe blackberry, plum, and blueberry flavors. Supple tannins balanced with a strong backbone of acidity and fruit make this a great food wine.
