The 2018 Syrah is inky purple with aromas of blackberry, dried herbs, and white pepper. A blend of both cool and warmer-climate grapes, this wine has a deep richness nicely cut by its acidity. Full-bodied, with flavors of baked blueberries and ripe plum.
Our 2018 Reserve Syrah is almost too good to describe: deep garnet with purple undertones, a classic nose of cherry and chalk, rich flavors of dark fruit, spice and oak. It finishes smooth and dry.
Our 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark ruby in color with aromas of blackberry and smashed peppercorns. On the palate you'll find ripe fruit, herbs, spices and mild oak. With tannic balance and a berry-driven finish, each sip begs another.
Dark ruby in color, the 2017 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of vanilla and black cherry, followed by plums and baking spice. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet blackberry and bitter cherry flavors. Balanced with light acidity and fine tannins on the finish.
Petit Verdot is one of the five noble grapes of Bordeaux. it is known for its rich color and deep, dark fruit. The 2017 Petit Verdot has dense flavors of plum, violets and mocha, layered over tart cherry and blueberry. Strong tannins are tamed by appealing dark berry fruit on the finish.
A deep, inky purple, our 2017 Lagrein is a full-bodied adventure. Rich character is revealed with a bouquet of blackberry, plum and mocha, leading to flavors of ripe fruit, char and dark chocolate. It's an easy finish, resulting in effortless drinkability.
Aromas of plum, blackberry, anise, cracked pepper and notes of clove. These scents are echoed on the palate with intensity and depth, offering layers of flavor and very graceful tannins for Petite Sirah, creating an elegant, yet powerful finish with notes of purple fruit and dark chocolate.
Our 2019 Riesling 2.1 carries a delicate, golden sheen with aromas of honeysuckle, nectarine and vanilla. Those flavors then combine with golden apple to coat the tongue. This off-dry nectar is balanced by bright acidity to deliver a fruit-forward, refreshing wine.
Our 2017 Riesling 5.7 takes the unctuous Riesling flavor to another level. Strong aromas of honeysuckle, green apple and passionfruit are housed in a translucent, gold wine. Honeysuckle continues across the palate, as does pear liqueur and ripe peach. This wine is fairly sweet, with mouth-coating viscosity.
