  • 2013 GSM-Caliza Vineyard
  • 2013 Kandy Red
  • 2013 Kandy Red-Blue Label
    This year we did two different colors/designs for the Kandy Red, (pink and blue) a nod to our family growing this year. :) Same wine just different colors/designs. This wine is very approachable, it's light and soft. It has good spice from the Grenache which is the stand out grape in this blend even though it's almost equal parts. The Zinfandel adds some soft fruit but no jamminess at all as it's actually Primitivo (the "sister" grape to Zinfandel).

  • 2013 Mr. Pickles
    This is a new wine we've been wanting to make for a while! It's on the bigger side...well, it's Cab and Syrah so ;)...it was aged in 100% new oak...let it sit for a while or decant it. Does not contain pickles
  • 2013 Neapolitan Pussycat
    Year to year the Neapolitan has changed slightly, it was a blend of Syrah, Grenache/ Mourvedre in 2011...Syrah, Grenache/ Roussanne in 2012 and this year, it's your classic GSM blend.This is a rich wine without being overpowering. It has bright red fruits from the Grenache/ great texture and spice from the Syrah and an earthy base from the Mourvedre
  • 2013 Primitivo
    This isn't your big jammy Zin but your soft delicate Primitivo. This vintage is just slightly lighter than the 2012 with great bright fruit and can be enjoyed now.
  • 2013 Rapid Roy
    Dense fruit and spice on the nose with a solid mid palate. This wine has nice bright acid with soft tannins on the finish.
  • 2013 Rolph Vineyard
    If you liked the Tryst from 2012, you'll dig this one as the fruit comes from the same vineyard, located in Adelaide. Being Grenache heavy it has those great typical notes of spice and earthiness and a little smoke from the Syrah. Overall it has a light and soft flavor profile but the Syrah gives it some nice body to it. Good with a decant.
  • 2013 S & M Caliza Vineyard
    Another great S&M, this ones a BIG wine! Dark fruit-black berries, plum, super dark color, and rich on the palate. Needs some time to open up or give it a few hour decant
  • 2013 S & M James Berry Vineyard
    Yum! One of Christina's favorite. It smells fresh but deep at the same time, well balanced with a great palate from the minute it hits your mouth all the way to the finish. A mix of red and dark fruits, with soft tannins.
  • 2013 Syrah
  • 2013 Syrah-Camatta Hills
    100% Syrah from Camatta Hills Vineyard. Complex and rich but not overpowering
  • 2013 Western Widow-Caliza Vineyard
    A popular blend in 2012, we decided to make it again. Mimicking the Cote Rotie style from France but using Roussanne this is a big wine but bright from that white Rhone grape. It has some mild smoky elements and dark cherry on the nose, similar notes on the palate with soft tannins. Needs some time but nothing a good decant wouldn't help if you can't wait to crack this one open.
