Wine Reviews

Dried violets, black cherry, and balsamic create a high-toned platform for tannic grip. Cigar box and red beets are secondary notes, stretched out on the long finish.

Sweet herbs, pineapple, and pine nut aromas meld with green apple on the nose. This mineral-driven white shows salty lemon notes and apple blossom, led by a crisp acidity.

From a CCOF Organic and Demeter Biodynamic Certified Vineyard, this exquisite opaque red has us mesmerized. Dried lavender, dark chocolate, and slate form an alliance with gripping, suede-textured tannins. Plum and black pepper align mid-way, with a rush of cedar and soy sauce on the expressive finish.

Pale, slight golden/yellow color, mild aromatics, but appealing stone fruit, peach, apricot notes, quite full on the palate (14.5% alcohol), but the structure of the wine supports it well, round, soft, polished, built to the less overt side of Viognier, accessible style that shows better with only a slight chill, moderately long finish.

A lather of plum and dark chocolate bathes the palate. The wine has an inner strength that ties acidity together with slate and sultry tannins.

Co-fermented with 10% Viognier, this Northern Rhône-stylized red was aged 29 months in (25% new) French oak. The mouthfeel is suede plush, with sage and plum. Violets bloom on a backdrop of star anise, and black pepper performs as it should with the liquid remaining seamless.

Absolutely stunning example of complexity and mouthfeel, this blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with some Malbec, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Merlot is aged five months in stainless steel. Wild strawberry is ignited with dried herbs, orange peel, and pomegranate tannins. Mineral notes create clean lines and acidity keeps a sheen on the palate. A gift from winemaker Aaron Pott.

Tropical, mouth-filling white, with butterscotch lathering the palate. Pineapple and banana notes resonate through to the finish.
