The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is a pale lemon colored wine that highlights bright aromatics of passionfruit, guava, lemongrass, lemon curd and gooseberry. The palate is bright and yet mouth-filling, with flavors of crisp ripe apple, prickly pear and white peach, while minerality drives the bright acidity. The creamy texture leads to a clean, long finish leaving you with mouth watering lingering notes.

This 2016 Sparkling Roussanne is 100% varietal and one of only a handful of Sparkling Roussannes in the world. The base wine was fermented in stainless steel vats at low temperatures to preserve the freshness of the fruit. The secondary fermentation is performed in bottle and left to age on lees for 4 years, a process called méthode champenoise. At disgorging, a signature final touch was added using a dosage liquor from a 2016 late harvest aged Roussanne, providing this sparkling wine with added complexity and structure.
This wine was carefully hand riddled and hand disgorged without freezing. It has aromatics of lemon lime, green apple jolly rancher, asian pear, honeysuckle, and brioche. On the palate, it’s lively and bound with delicate tight bubbles bursting with brightness and complexity. It has flavors of toasted almond with layers of creaminess, and mixed with stone fruit and crème brûlée. It finishes with brightness and tangy bubbles that dance around on the palate, teasing you to want more.
This deep purple colored wine is brooding with aromatics of blackberry, boysenberry, sweet tobacco, pink peppercorns and cedar. The lively energy in this vintage of Cabernet is a true balance between the acidity and the well rounded tannins. The complexity of the flavors on the palate lead to an elegant and lengthy finish which defines the beauty and balance in this wine.
