Tasting Notes
Light pink salmon in color, with aromas of watermelon, cranberry, orange rind, and fresh spring flowers leap from the glass. The palate offers notes of peach, strawberry, and melon, with an intriguing note of fresh basil and pomegranate. Though packed with fruit, our Rosé finishes dry, with a nice balanced finish. This wine is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to develop further in the coming months.
Winemaking
Composed of 100% Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast. Made in a Saignée method which captures the essence of the fruit just after harvest. We ferment in neutral barrels, allowing the delicate fruit to express its varietal character.

Rich and full-bodied, packed with dark fruit flavors of blackberry, ripe plum, and dark cherry. Notes of cocoa, cedar, and warm spice add complexity, while firm tannins and a touch of volcanic minerality reflect the bold characteristics of Calistoga’s terroir. Full-bodied in texture, and remarkably velvety. The tannins gracefully interweave, establishing a flawless equilibrium of acidity and pleasing fruit.

Deep floral notes (violets), blackberry, black cherry, and cassis. Driven by the mountain's steep, cool-climate terroir, it balances rich notes of blackberry and pomegranate seamlessly intertwined with dark plum, cocoa dust, and roasted mocha, hints of roasted mocha and spice undertones add depth to its complex profile, culminating in a bold, yet elegant finish.

This stellar Napa Valley Red Blend marries lush plum and cherry with Malbec's dark berry depth and Petit Verdot's structure and spice. Layered with notes of blackberry, violet, and cocoa, this silky wine finishes with smooth tannins and a whisper of toasted oak. Robust and mouth-filling, with spicy nuances, smooth tannins, firm structure, and a long lingering finish.
