2019 Sparkling Rose / WeinNotes

I am beyond thrilled to have explored something new, and I enjoy the heck out of it! On the nose and mid-palate, it is super light and floral. The finish leaves classic signs of a young cab with a pleasant tannin structure.
2016 Cabernet / 92 points / International Wine Review
More elegant than blockbuster, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent wine. The bouquet is redolent of dark cassis complemented by notes of earth and underbrush. There’s a lovely, silky texture to the mouth filling palate and nice integration of blackberry fruit and toasted oak. The tannins are still youthful but ripe. A wine that will only improve with a couple of years bottle age.
2022 Cabernet Franc / 93 Points / Wine Enthusiast
This wine is a beautiful expression of high-elevation Cabernet Franc grown in California. The Red Hills sub-Ava in Lake County has iron-rich soil, translating into complex, fully flavored wines with red berries, dark plum, sweet cigar, and star anise on the nose. The flavors on the palate are high-energy, bright, raspberry, Mulberry, Sage, orange, and vanilla cream, with supple acidity creating a mouth-watering finish.
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon / 92 / International Wine Review
Saturated ruby. The bouquet reveals explosive cassis and cedar aroma. The palate is silky and dense with sweet, expansive dark fruit flavors and a light earthy note. Well focused and tightly structured with still firm tannins finishing with lingering rich dark red fruit notes.

2022 Petit Verdot / 93 Points / Wine Enthusiast
This bottling stands for a unique varietal, typically a blending grape. The beauty of its production in this region is the richness and complexity of the nose and palate. The aromatics are Olallieberry, Boysenberry, sweet tobacco, dried potpourri, and notes of toasted oak on the nose; the flavors on the palate are youthful dark berries, clove, citrus cream, dried Sagebrush, mild and mouth-watering tannins on the finish. Aerate and pair with smoked meats and hard cheeses.
