Per usual for this cuvee you can tell this will be delicious upon first whiff. Santa Rosa plum, lilac, toasted rosemary, shiitake mushrooms and roasted Aleppo pepper in the nose give way to juicy flavors of fresh plum, dark cherry, blackberry tart, toasted coriander and grilled meat. The luscious, soft tannins lead to a vanilla and rose petal flecked velvety finish that very slowly fades away. Juicy with a solid mineral core.

Beautiful, star-bright, pale gold color. Scents of meyer lemon curd, honeysuckle, vanilla, grated nutmeg, white tea and lemon balm on the nose. The palate starts creamy and voluptuous with notes of brioche, beeswax and chamomile leading into golden delicious apple skin, lemon mint and fresh ginger on the bright, lingering warm and nutty finish. Delicious and snappy, this would pair well with a wide variety of chicken or pork dishes.

Tasting Notes
Classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of cassis, red raspberry, and blackberry syrup are balanced with French oak tones of spice, dried herbs and vanilla. On the palate, one can find black current, root-beer, and a touch of lavender. Black plum, more dried herbs and cocoa linger in the finish with silky tannins, which set up this "last pick" wine for ageing of up to 10 years.

A beautiful garnet color. Aromas of red plum, cocoa powder, allspice, marionberry and crushed rose petals emanate from the glass. The medium body and soft, supple tannins give way to red raspberry, Surinam cherry, Santa Rosa plum and pink peppercorns. Lingering espresso powder and oak spice notes fade slowly on the finish. Delicious!

Influenced by the French oak and 55 months of yeast aging, this bubbly is complex, rich, and carries a very long finish. Fresh, aromatics of baked apple, nutmeg, and sweet bread dough follow through to the palate. Additionally, notes of lemon custard, and dried apricot add complexity to the flavor profile. The full bodied, creamy mouth feel is supported by a vibrant acidity. Wonderful by itself or pair with a variety of dishes including: oysters, sushi, Asian and Latin cuisine, hard cheeses like Parmesan or a rich triple cream such as St. Andre.

Aromas of apple blossom, jasmine, ripe apricots and warm straw with hints of crème brulee flitting about the edges. The palate entry is full and rich with a gorgeous mouthfeel and flavors of d'anjou pear, golden delicious apple skin and honeysuckle that give way to a bright minerality, pineapple and lychee notes. The tangy finish lingers beautifully with its focused acidity. A delicious, classic Chardonnay.

Our 2021 Pinot Noir is developing beautifully, showing signs of further improvement in the bottle. Fruit and spice dominate the authentic Pinot Noir aromas leading to flavors that match the aromatics. The smooth tannins give way to a balanced, soft finish that showcases the layered complexity from the whole cluster fermentation.
