A luscious blend of 42% Chenin Blanc, 40% Chardonnay, with some Albariño and Viognier, aged eight months in 25% new French oak. Honeycomb and pear tart create a sensational flavor duo and mouthfeel, with stunning acidity. Undertones of graham cracker crust engage the palate, along with seductive tropical fruit and a wisp of mint and laurel.
Cab Franc grown on rocky soils at an elevation of 2,200 feet has quite the impact. Focused, with melting dark chocolate cherries, roasted coffee, blackberries, layered with candied violets. The palate is long, with exquisitely balanced tannins and a fine mineral tonality on the clean finish.
From the estate vineyard, CCOF Organic and Demeter Biodynamic Certified, is this plush, suede-textured red that wears its place like a mineral halo. Ripe blackberry and red cherry are sun-warmed, braided with graphite and burnt amber. Polished and disciplined, with a crystalline finish.
Teeth-grabbing tannins help define this satin-lined, estate grown red. Notes of brambly wild blackberries follow, along with dried violets. Espresso, along with grapey flavors are delightful, and well partnered. A serious, muscle-bound Petite Sirah sporting mineral finesse.
Muscular, with a juicy approachability. Black cherry, tobacco, and soy sauce are sympatico flavors that build on the dynamic, cedar-lined finish.
Tannins are firm with a certain tension that showcases graphite, fennel, plum skin, and espresso. An elegant powerhouse that opens to reveal a lush, generous flow of blackberry on the finish.
Blueberries sparked with black pepper indicate a robust start. Espresso and licorice are surrounded by sleek tannins, augmented by spiced barrel notes.
Exacting and vivid, its many layers of flavor are no illusion. Lemon is wispy, with an accompanying garden boasting Sencha tea, honeyed pineapple, Mediterranean herbs, and a finish of creamy vanilla.
