Fresh peach aromas and flavors are impressive, with a medium weighted mouthfeel and lingering finish of gardenia and lime chiffon.

There’s so much personality here, one of the best our team has tasted in this category. Cranberry, vanilla, rose petals, and tangerine converge for a pleasurable quaff.
The Pais variety was the first to arrive in Chile in the 16th century. This sparkler displays a pinch of salinity and a lick of wet stone, garnering a shiny spotlight on the palate. Peach, orange creamsicle, and spring wild lowers burst from its tiny bubbles.
This is her first foray, co-crafting a Sonoma Valley Cabernet, with vintner Adam Lee. Sourced in the east side of the valley, an extended area of Moon Mountain, the extended growing season had the grapes harvested in late October. Aged in 60% new French oak for 16 months and bottled without fining or filtration. Its hue is inky black-purple, delivering concentrated power with teeth-grabbing tannins at first sip. As it opens, attention-getting flavors of dusty rose, dark chocolate, gardenia, and black raspberry ganache create a textural tenderness. Spice pierces sandalwood and coffee on the long finish.
This is the first vineyard from which Moret-Brealynn sourced. For this vintage, she used native fermentation, completed after 17 on the skins. Aged in 100% new French oak for 10 months, from three different cooperages. Black raspberry unveils on the palate with sweet basil, white pepper, and rose petals. Gloriously fresh, fragrant, and sensual.
Delicately spiced with cinnamon and brown sugar, wrapped around salted plum. Burnished rose petals come across as savory, hinting at an antique, exotic woodsy note on the finish.
Aromas of peony and pomegranate are striking. The mouthfeel is gentle and ripe with strawberry gelée. A hint of sweet basil glistens while floral tones linger.
This brand under the umbrella of Jackson Family Wines has become a premier source for quality Pinot and Chardonnay at modest prices. The 2023 vintage of Pinot is quite expressive, with dark cherry fruit notes in both the aromas and flavors, with undertones reminiscent of strawberries and baking spices. Medium-bodied, this offers substance and structure but remains openly fruity and immediately enjoyable.
