Hailing from the Sonoma Coast, where daily temperature shifts result in intense but well-balanced wines, our Chardonnay was barrel fermented with native yeast resulting in a plush mouthfeel and crisp acidtiy.

Deep violet in the glass, the 2015 Cab/Shiraz blend offers aromas of black fig, black cherry and blueberry with notes of vanilla bean.

This Merlot has a complex aromatic palate with notes of green olives and dried tobacco leaves and a touch of tea leaf. There is an inherent dustiness intermingled with notes of cedar and chocolate. This wine is medium-full bodied with pleasantly chewy tannins. Flavors of dried herbs, cedar and dusty nuances mix with olives and dried black cherries bringing a lot of nuance and depth.
Our Reserve Sauvignon Blanc was allowed to hang an a bit longer than our Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc lots to obtain a riper more full bodied profile. It was then night harvested to maintain its aromatics. The fruit was received in the cellar, where the grapes were pressed whole cluster. The fermentation was completed at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural, varietal flavors and aromas and then all of the juice was sent to neutral barrels to mature. The final blend captures the lovely fresh qualities of Sauvignon Blanc while representing some of its richer more tropical notes of a Sauvignon Blanc aged in oak barrels.
Our 2016 Viognier continues the bright and racy vintages Alexander Valley has provided us. Very floral and perfumed with orange blossoms and notes of honey. Aromas of mandarin orange and dried apricots compliment the delicate floral notes and bring a sweet freshness to the aroma. This Viognier has only partial malolactic fermentation, so the palate is crisp and refreshing with delicate touches of honey, orange and apricot that finish with a brisk acidity to round it all out.
This lush red wine comes from the formidable Alexander Valley where warm days allow for ample ripening time and rich flavor development. Opulent flavors of blackberry and cassis with hints of spice lead to velvety tannins and a lavish finish.

Grenache, like many of the Rhone varieties, can express itself in many ways.

Petite Sirah is rarely petite and this wine will not disappoint! Overt notes of red plum and fresh grape dominate the aromatics with touches of chocolate and dried red fruits lending to the profile.

It is young, fresh and dense, but also has a tremendous richness with tiers of dark berries, dark chocolate, and cassis. This wine is one to enjoy now and one to lie down, it should age beautifully!
