Focused and indulgent, with sleek acidity aligning flavors of cranberry, red tea, and Italian herbs. Tense and reserved, with plenty of aging potential.

Mediterranean scrub and strawberries pulled from tilled soil are aligned with high-toned acidity and waves of tart cherry. Sweet tobacco and dried roses are layered to create a delicate dusting on the finish.
Muscular, with some bold moves. This 22-month French oak-aged red (with 12% Malbec) possesses tension. Its statuesque build is held up by graphite, espresso, and chalky tannins. Black fruit reigns, reviving the palate with each sip.
With 16% Cabernet Sauvignon blended in, this massive Malbec, aged 22 months in 50% French oak, hails from Coombsville (84%) and Napa Valley (16%). Dusky and spiced, with sage intertwined in plum skins and salted figs in an umami-style soy sauce. Muscular, with dusty tannins that are taut but not overpowering. Finishes with underbrush and ultra ripe mulberry.
Lavender surrounds the palate, even toned and concentrated. Ripe plum engages with dark chocolate at mid-point, with silky, rich tannins carrying the flavors through to the spiced sandalwood finish.
Fresh, fruity, and ripe with cherry skins, summer plum, and lilac. A fine line of acidity follows through to the zippy finish.
Thanks to a lower alcohol level than most Napa Cabs, the silky tannins and bright acidity are fluid and shine with an inherent approachability. Vivid notes of boysenberry, vanilla cedar, and, and sweet soil are amplified with a surge of saline minerality. St. Julien style with that California glow.
This canned blend of 99% Chardonnay with trace amounts of Viognier, Gewürztraminer, and Sauvignon Blanc achieves an impressive balance between lush aromas and refreshing flavors: Honeydew melon, lemon cookie, and ripe golden apple on the one hand, Sorrento lemon with hints of lemongrass, pineapple, and vanilla on the other. Tangy acidity sets the tone for a nice, dry finish.
