With an inspired collection of reimagined artwork, the label is designed around French painter and lithographer Henri Fantin-Latour’s 1874 “Still Life with Pansies.” Honeyed notes of summer pear, tangerine blossom, and Key lime gather for a creamy, long, and luxurious, vanilla-laden sipper.
A blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Petite Sirah, 18% Petit Verdot and 15% Merlot with a surge of red berries up front. The floral array of hibiscus, peony, roses, and an exotic musk show depth of character while also offering a nod to the label art. French Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte’s 1893 “Chrysanthemums in the Garden at Petit-Gennevillers” speaks to the liquid in the bottle. The finish of spiced sandalwood and vanilla is lilting on the finish.
A dignified, ripe, and robust red, with dark chocolate, espresso, and spiced black cherries. The inspired artwork on the label references Italian renaissance painter Marco d’Oggiono’s “Girl with Cherries,” circa 1491.
Capturing the essence on the label of an illustration by English physician and botanical writer Robert John Thornton’s 1807 work “Cupid Inspiring Plants with Love,” this wine shines with vivid notes of just-squeezed grapefruit. Perky acidity and a line of salinity ignite layers of vanilla, kiwi, and gardenia.
This is a very well made rosé with juicy aromas and flavors of strawberry and watermelon that remain very fresh. Blended from 67% Syrah, 24% Merlot, 5% Pinot Gris, 2% Grenache, and 2% Mourvèdre, it offers ripe fruit flavors but no sugary sweetness. Fine acidity enlivens the flavors and makes this a promising partner for pairing with food or just for sipping.
A Syrah/Grenache blend with spark. Roses shine, augmented with black pepper and orange peel. Bold and impressive, with a garden of herbs accenting black cherry and plum. Tannins are supple and the finish is enduring.
An elegant and expressive Cab with a silky mouthfeel. Oak comes through with notes of confectionary vanilla, joining dark cherry and black plum and cocoa.
Roasted coffee, graphite, and ripe mocha-plum stream across the palate. Mid-point salinity engages with cherry sandalwood, showcasing a bright light within, for a long, mouth-watering finish.
