2023 Estate Vermentino
The aromas of this wine are very hard to describe. It is almost like a sea breeze with lilac and orange blossom on the air. The light brine of the ocean combined with perfumed and musky flowers. The flavor profile follows close behind with gentle peach, lemon cream, pie crust and that sea breeze. Like standing on a remote beach and catching a rain drop on your tongue. The color is the color of clouds if clouds were transparent. Clearly, this is a special wine and we look forward to making it for years to come.

2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc
The vibrancy and freshness of this wine shows in its crisp light green color. The aromatics leap out of the glass, smelling distinctly of white peach, lime peel, and county fair caramel apples. On the palate, flavors of fresh pressed apple cider, Meyer lemon, a perfect kiwi, and mixed fresh herbs lead to a perfectly focused acidity. In the finish, the lingering softness from the barrel fermentation rests pleasantly on the tongue inviting another sip.

2021 1896 Red Blend
An explosion of black fruit, cinnamon, rose petals, dried thyme and warm tar on the nose gives way to a full, structured palate. Flavors of dark plum, blackberries, blueberries and a dense minerality lead into a softer mid palate, well integrated oak and balanced acidity. The lingering finish tastes pleasantly of plums and mulling spices. Great for grilling.
