Estate Wines

Producing only 180 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.

This wine enjoys a broad range of aromatics and flavor. Scents of dark cherry and crushed plum give way to notes of strawberry rhubarb pie. The flavor profile ranges from dark fruit, to bright raspberry, to mildly toasted French oak and plenty of silky texture. The wine continues with sweet hints of sage and earth, with a long textural finish indicating a pleasant degree of age-ability.

Gorgeous aromas of crushed Bing cherry, plum spice and molasses followed by delicious flavors of blackberry, clove, and mission rig. This wine shows a remarkable balance of velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and a truly resonant mouthfeel.

Gianna's Block always yields incredible fruit flavors, color and structure. This wine expresses complex aromas of sage, lavender, and blackberry jam followed by subtle notes of dark chocolate and coffee. Dark fruit and perfectly composed oak accentuate the blueberry and plum flavors. The wine finishes with more chocolate and dark roast espresso.

The 2017 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.

This wine showcases a blend of both the lush tropical style, and a bright citrus character. The results are aromas of lemongrass, sliced nectarine, kiwi lemonade, and orange blossom. Pomelo, tangerine, apricot, and cream sickle coat the palate and finish. Slightly chilled on a warm day is the perfect paring for this wine.

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.

The 2018 Rosé showcases all of our favorite Rosé characteristics. Floral aromatics are highlighted by notes of citrus and wild strawberry. While lighter in color than previous vintages this pale pink will not disappoint with it's round mouthfeel, perfect acidity and ripe apricot notes on the finish. Only 224 cases produced.

Our 2017 Estate Pinot Noir shows a depth of color, aroma and flavor to rival the best producers in the Russian River Valley. A beautiful garnet color leads to aromas of red currant, earl grey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cedar.

Dried blackberry, sweet cinnamon, coco powder and a hint of sage show in the aromas. This wine progresses over the palate with dark espresso, raspberry jam, dark chocolate covered blueberries and finishing with perfectly integrated oak spice. Concentrated fruit, balanced acidity and mature tannins will allow this wine to age for 10+ years.

Our 2016 Estate Zinfandel expresses lavish red plum aromas, crushed blueberry mixed with white pepper and cedar. Red raspberry flavors with strawberry, huckleberry and allspice, lead to a balanced wine with natural acidity and soft tannins.

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.
