2012 Pinot Noir

The Sonoma Coast is home to some of the most elegant Pinot Noir grown. We were able to source fruit from a well-known family vineyard and let it age in French oak for 20 months. This perfectly balanced vintage has the classic aroma and fruit forward characteristics that lovers of this varietal appreciate. Our goal is to bring out the true personality of each wine we make.

 

2013 Merlot


Rich fruit with notes of black cherry, raspberry and plum. Medium tannins and a soft finish. Aged 18 months in French oak.


2013 Zinfandel

Wild berries and plum, with notes of pepper and other flavors. Goes great with spicy foods. Also aged 18 months in French oak.

 

2013 Barbera (Sold Out)

Rich fruit flavors of blackberry, plum, black cherry and strawberry, with undertones of dark chocolate, vanilla and other flavors. Mild oak, balanced tannins and a very smooth finish. Aged 20 months in French oak.

 

2012 Reserve Syrah (Sold Out)

Our third release of a single vineyard reserve Syrah continues our commitment to this venerated varietal.  Aged in medium toast French oak, the complex structure and mouth feel balances beautifully with the expansive fruit.  Ripe cherries, pomegranate and a hint of caramelized spices lead to a lush elegant finish.  Only 50 cases produced.

2012 Barbera (Sold Out)

Barbera is a signature varietal in Amador County. We sourced fruit from a top vineyard and aged it in French oak for 18 months. This full-bodied wine is a wonderful example of Amador terroir. Our goal is to bring out true Barbera flavor and personality. This vintage is perfectly balanced with classic dark berry fruit, mild oak, and tannins with a finish that lingers and will exceed your expectations.

2010 Reserve Chardonnay (Sold Out)


Our debut white is a delightful Chardonnay from a well respected vineyard in Los Carneros. This appellation at the southern end of the Napa and Sonoma valleys grows excellent white varietals. This bright silky reserve wine is made in the classic style and lets the crisp natural flavor shine through.  Only 28 cases produced.

2010 Grenache (Sold Out)

Grenache is often just the shy backdrop to Rhone blends. But an exceptional Grenache deserves to shine on its own. This single vineyard estate fruit was harvested at its peak and aged in French oak for 16 months. This complex star will announce itself with a lilting perfume quality and then bring on the power of California style Rhone varietals. With 3% estate Petite Syrah for extra depth and tannin there isn’t anything quite like it. A sassy cassis note up front then rich black currant and toasty spice with a flash of mesquite on the full-bodied finish. Only 25 cases produced.

2010 Cavaliere (Sold Out)

‘Cavaliere’ in French and Italian means partner in dance or the arts. The art of making this unique Rhone style blend is partnering French & Italian varietals of 72% Mourvedre and 12% Grenache with 16% Barbera to create a sophisticated, elegant, yet wonderfully complex wine. Focused black cherry, classic oak, structured tannins and subtle spice on the long finish dance on your palate. Break the rules and share this one-of-a-kind experience with a partner of your own. Only 32 cases produced.

2008 Reserve Syrah (Sold Out)

Our second release of a single vineyard reserve Syrah has exceeded our expectations. This much anticipated wine was worth waiting for. Extra time in medium toast French oak enhanced the complex structure and mellowed this robust wine to truly stand out. Along with the rich currant and plum flavors you will enjoy a smooth toffee finish. Only 26 cases produced.

2010 Barbera (Sold Out)

Barbera is one of the signature varietals of Italy.  We think the best place for Barbera grapes in the United States is Amador County.  We sourced fruit from a top single vineyard and aged it in French oak for 16 months.  This luscious full-bodied gem will impress anyone familiar with Amador’s award-winning wines or trying them for the first time.  Our goal was a true Barbera with depth and personality.  This vintage is perfectly balanced with velvety plum-blackberry fruit, mild oak and an effortless finish that exceeded our expectations.  Only 20 cases produced.
