Gold Medal, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
A brilliant release for our estate-grown Merlot. Raspberries and cherries with cocoa nib and anise. Blackberry jam and herbaceous notes of rosemary and thyme. A hint of spice assists a long finish. Absolutely delicious.
Spicy meatballs, skewered lamb with fig plum marinade, grilled chicken with roasted vegetables
Primarily coming from our warmest vineyard in Calistoga, this vintage is rich and full-bodied. A new release of our Reserve Zinfandel brings elegance to this grape with complexity and balance. Big zinfandel with bright red fruit and a plush mid-palate makes the perfect segway to a lengthy finish. Flavors of raspberry, cherry, and anise compliment vanilla and fresh cracked pepper. Dark cocoa nib and lavender with hints of expresso are expressed as the bottle opens up.
Highly awarded by the critics, this wine expresses sweet blueberries, raspberries, and baking spices. Floral rose petals and lavender accompany the velvety tannins. An earthy component and baking spices make this wine the big bold Cab Franc we have grown to love!
The aroma of plums, cassis, and blueberry pie matches the palate. Lavender, red licorice, and hints of toasted cedar and earth sneak out as the wine opens up. A spicy finish of white pepper and cinnamon completes this wine.
We are excited to share our Petit Verdot grapes from our newly planted block at the Pocai Vineyard. Planted as a blending varietal for us, we are amazed by the quality and just fell in love with it. This wine is fruit-driven and showcases a savory blackberry pie, violet, vanilla, with graham cracker notes. The wine is big and juicy with complimentary acid and a long finish.
What a beautiful vintage! Pocai Vineyard has a way of expressing a fruit-forward California wine but also brings large tannins that are integrated to create a powerful yet elegant wine. Black cherry, raspberry, red apple, and fig meet clove, slight olive, tobacco, earl grey tea, and chocolate mousse are all found in this complex wine. This is a big, rich, and robust wine.
