Layered flavors of mocha, plum, sweet tobacco, and soy sauce show complexity.
Well-mannered in character, this Cab shows blackberry and dark cherry fruit notes with plenty of flavor impact. The oak lends touches of spice and toast, with tannins providing welcome firming in the finish without notable astringency.
A serious take on Sauvignon Blanc that’s offered at a serious price, this was vinified in 80% used French oak and 10% each stainless steel and new French barrels.

Melted dark chocolate and licorice reach a sultry peak, along with ripe, crushed blackberry and plum. Tannins are seamless and coat the palate with a generous sensation of polished, caramelized sweet spice.
Crème brûlee, orange peel, and toasty oak saturate the palate. Framed by a mineral base, notes of vanilla and pineapple rise to the top.
Dusted rose petals, persimmon, and sweet basil combine for a flavorful, bright pink sipper. Crushed stone, tangerine cream, and red tea flowers lead to a well textured finish.
