Luxardo cherry, roses steeped in black tea, and a whisper of white pepper is stimulating on the palate. Strawberry and sandalwood are dotted with exotic spices and the finish has a touch of dark chocolate tobacco. An exhilarating example of Arroyo Seco terroir.
Toasted almond, maple, and chamomile combine for a rich profile. Salted, honeyed lemon blossom adds to the vibrant floral tone of the wine.
A luscious entry, with a bath of buttered popcorn. A spray of just-squeezed lemon hovers over a fruit salad of melon and guava, reining in the wine’s rich character. Creamy nectarine rides through to the long finish.
Teeming with raspberries on raspberries and a spoonful of vanilla cream, this blend is arresting with warm, comforting aromas. This is a hearty embrace in a glass, with a bounty of fresh bramble fruit, violets and a sturdy backbone that is eager to please…and succeeds.
Brimming with kiwi and lime, this is the picture of freshness. There is a zip of electricity swaddled in acacia flowers with a touch of butter. Lemon zest persists with a resonant note of chalky stone. It is energetic and angular with an equal measure of playfulness.
This iconic estate grown red (92% Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc) is a preview of the winery’s direction of a sustainable multi-year push towards agroecology on its Home Ranch. The liquid glides across the palate, lacing in ripe plum pudding, melted milk chocolate, and sweet cedar. Its graceful, regal presence is its superpower, attuned to finely grained tannins and above all, the art of balance.
Hailing primarily from Paso Robles, this canned blend of 83% Cabernet with 9% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 1% Teroldego is a smooth sipper. Scents of black plum and black raspberry mingle with dark chocolate and roast coffee, while the ripe, fruity palate is accented by black pepper and cherry-vanilla cola.
The appeal of this canned blend of 94% Chardonnay and 6% Pinot Grigio is straightforward enough: Crisp green apple, lemon drop, and pineapple pop on the nose as a prelude to lively acidity, a squeeze of more lemon, and a slice of white peach on the finish.
