I find myself reminding people that merlot is a grape that has so much fitness and character. This merlot has a beautiful bouquet of purple flowers, dusty cocoa cherry, the flesh of a summer plum and baking spices. On the palate it is soft and delicate with nice fruit and minerality. The tannins are well integrated and the wine is plush with ample mouth coating acidity. The wine has a lengthy finish that hits your entire palate.

An homage to the French, the masters of Pinot Noir. This is true to the style of Pinot Noir; light to medium bodied, soft and silky with red fruit aromas (just missing the terroir for this to be a true Burgundian).

Mon Amour because we end up with a much better wine this way. Hey, life is full of hard decisions. Sometimes you reach a point where you have to make one or two. We still have the great plum and pomegranate flavors blended with ripe cherry, cola and slight vanilla. Tannins are noticable but not overpowering and and that same long soft finish leaves you aching for the next sip.

A full floral, stone fruit, apricot bouquet is framed with a mineral and almost kerosene like aroma. Fresh acidity on the mouth makes you salivate another sip, complimented by the rich texture on the tongue from that initial skin contact before its cool fermentation. The slight residual sugar caresses on the way down. If there ever were a balance between a seductive Troken German Riesling and elegant dry Austrian version, this would be the epitome.

Hitting all the beautiful elegant notes of cherry, truffles, rhubarb, white chocolate and nutmeg. An almost cola like bouquet to boot. All complimented by earth tones with a soft finish and just the right amount of tartness to tackle any Italian based cuisine. Our estate offering walks the line of a bold classic expression of elegance juxtaposed to a dashing rough character. Like putting the top down on a vintage fire engine red alfa-romeo spider, always commanding attention on the road.

With an initial tease of cherry, cola, cardamom, and tealeaves it is no wonder this wine pleases the palate with a rich red fruit taste and silky tannin finish. Our neutral oak barrels emulate the cask ageing found in Chianti, Tuscany. An old world grape made in a new world style, this Sangiovese was born to illustrate why California is not just great at making food friendly wines, but also to show off its adopted second home at our estate in the Santa Ynez Valley. Saluti!

The focus here is on minerality and structure. The warm afternoons encourage the grapes achieve perfect ripeness but the cool nights assure that they do not lose their acidity. The wine is aged on its lees and never sees the inside of an oak barrel. The result is magnificently layered citrus notes of ruby red grapefruit with clementine and blood orange layers. Slight minty notes and crushed dry herbs. Star bright acidity and lengthy mid palate fades very very slowly leaving a fresh impression that makes your mouth water.

Delicate and pretty, this Pinot Noir doesn't scream, it whispers. Soft and feminine, it lures you into deep thought. The acidity is very bright and this wine has a lot of life. It offers an intriguing blend of exotic flavors with notes of dark cherries, hibiscus, lavender and blood orange. The oak is very well integrated and barely noticeable. Those soft tannins seal the deal nicely and ushers in a very long, velvety finish.

Earthy, dusty cocoa, red vibrant fruit with loads of acidity to cut through that prime steak. The body and mouth-feel of the wine is important to notate, and with lower alcohol we witness a lighter, lofty style.

This wine has a beautiful, vibrant nose; at first whiff there’s a burst of sweet red apple skin, followed by plum, chocolate, clove, and tea spices. It doesn’t stop there, but rather keeps evolving with every moment. On the palate, it is rich and smooth with an everlasting finish.

This red blend smells a great deal like a classic Bordeaux. There is a mix of red and dark fruit, red plum, blackberry and dark cherry to be more exact, followed by leather and mushrooms. On the palate the red plum is confirmed with nice tannin structure. The tannins are present but not out of control; these will soften immensely with some bottle age. But the wine is showing great in its youth, offering a lengthy delightful finish. This will be a great companion for food.

Picture the eccentric fruit basket of your summer dreams...This wine initially lures you in with aromatic scents of gooseberry and a slight hint of crisp spearmint on the nose, quickly complemented by lemon-lime peel and succulent, tangy passion fruit. On the palate, fresh citrus, granny smith apple and peach dance around together like a jubilant ballet of distinct and refreshing flavors.

Sixer exudes aromatics of Olive, Black Pepper, Vanilla, Cedar, Tobacco and hints of floral potpourri. All with a lush mouthful of Dark Chocolate and Blackberry. Great smooth tannins with cigar box flavors persist in the mouth. A wine this bold needs 6% Viognier to tame it, or as we like to think polish it off – and we won’t blame if you do.

It might be hard to believe but adding an aromatic white grape like Viognier into a bold opaque wine would not only refine it, but also make it even darker. This classic method is still used in France’s northern Rhône Valley to transform Syrah into a slightly elevated Cru status, where bacon fat and meat become garnished with lavender and violets. Sounds like the perfect adornment, and that is why the “Sixer” was born. Adding 6% Viognier allows the tar, tobacco, and dried fruit aromatics to polish off with a fresh scent of flowers and blueberries. The mouth becomes less aggressively tannic from this tiny addition, leaving our estate wine with a long smooth finish.

The resulting elixer has great acidity and tremendous flavor. First you are punched in the mouth by honeysuckle and apricot, followed by sustained blows of figs, black tea, honey and apple. This is a once in a lifetime wine. It takes so much work to make and yields are so miniscule due to the drying that it might not ever ever happen again.

Fragrant Lavender, rosemary pepper, leather and graphite dominates the nose. Sweet vanilla roast bouquet follows. Enticing game flavors persist on the tongue and a firm mouthfeel and great length. Definitely a darker expression of Syrah, staying true to its vineyard name.

If you are ever lucky enough to someday find yourself on a distant tropical beach, there you will surely find this wine, which eagerly rushes to greet you like the flow of the tide with fragrant aromas of exotic jackfruit, apricot and wafting honeysuckle. On the palate, it serves tart mango and juicy pineapple flavors then lulls you into a state of pure contentedness with a slight herbal anise finish.
