A great example of where Cabernet's structure and depth are balanced by Syrah's jammy fruit-forward flavors. Pairs well with rich spicy dishes like rosemary & garlic rack of lamb, or a spicy grilled steak.

A classic expression of coastal influenced Chardonnay with aromas of honey, apple chutney, lime blossom, and gentle Indian spice box undertones. A big juicy entry on the palate, showing a silky texture with excellent tension and structure, ending with a complex, layered finish.

A definitive Anderson Valley blend from six Pinot Noir clones across three vineyards. Inviting aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry, and pomegranate. On the palate, it unfolds with layered flavors of cinnamon, black cherry, raspberry cordial, and vanilla bean, where focused tannins envelop, leading to a rich red fruit finish with blue fruit undertones.

Big, forward bouquet with pear, golden apple, apple blossom, and dried orange peel. Loads of lime and grapefruit on the palate, maintaining balanced acidity and freshness. Subtle notes of honey and white flowers add depth to this lively wine.
