The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon turned out to be a lovely wine. The color is deep ruby-garnet and in the nose I get a lot of black cherry, cassis, spice, cedar, and hints of sweet toasty French oak. In the mouth the wine is very open and lush, well structured with the elegance and balance we have come to expect from this vineyard. The tannins are quite light and dusty. The finish is long with the ripe fruit flavors lasting several minutes. I particularly like the roundness in the mid-palate. It invites you to take another sip."

Nice old merlot, well-balanced, with prominent ripe cherry aromas. Blackberry, briar, forest floor, with hints of eucalyptus, herbs, cocoa, and some oak.

The Crozes-Hermitage appellation is on the left bank of the Rhone.  On these pebbly terraces, the Syrah grape expresses itself fully, producing a wine with a spicy black fruit character balanced by elegant, silky tannins.

This blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache is snappy on the nose with black raspberry sorbet, fennel and cola spice. The palate captures the freshness of boysenberry pie and hibiscus while also delivering richer baking-spice flavors.

Toasty aromas of sea-salt-dusted brioche, charred peach and a touch of butterscotch show on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. There is a great zing to the texture of the palate, where fresh lime-skin flavors cut through the rich buttered toast and apple-jam flavors.

From the fruit forward aromas to the lingering flavors, Sonoma Classico brings the characteristics of each varietal into focus: blueberry, elderberry, warm baking spice and hints of toasted oak. A full bodied blend, there is an underlying structure of medium tannins bringing balance along with oak notes and spice on the finish. Certified Sustainable.

Start with a deep ruby/violet color.  Then move on to a well composed nose with aromas of dried herbs, tobacco and warm cherry compote.  The palate is broad and expansive.  Notes of red licorice, cinnamon spice and dried mushrooms compliment the fruit profile which consists of a mix of berries and cured meats.  Drinking well now, the structure of the wine suggests a fine aging potential of up to ten years, for those who enjoy cellaring wine.  This unusual blend is a great food wine, not too fruity and not too austere.

Aromas of fern, hawthorne, floral aromas, white fruits, grapefruit zest and peppery hints.The unctuous mouth has ripe fruit flavors.  The finish displays intermingling notes of citrus zest and minerals.

Cab Forward is a Reserve blend of our best barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot. It is an opulent wine that delivers notes of licorice, chocolate, black cherry, plum, blackberry, spice combined with incredibly silky tannins. This wine honors the railroad Heritage of the Merrill Family. Excellent aging potential.

The 2016 growing season was exemplary for this white southern Rhone grape. The vines produced generous amounts of full clusters, which were thinned to heighten the quality and focus the intensity of these grapes. The resulting wine dances with bright acidity, white pepper, and enticing tropical fruit flavors. A favorite of the staff and the wine club last year, we expect this wine will again be sought after. A perfect complement to the other Rhone varietals we grow, this wine also stands alone as a strong single varietal, giving a unique option to the popular Viognier. Aroma of lemon cream and green apple, with stone fruit, honeydew and hints of citrus on the palate. Pairs well with herb crusted pork loin, herb roasted chicken, Waldorf salad, brie and Swiss cheeses. Sustainable Farming Practices.

Blended from select reserve barrels, this wine has layers of flavors including black currants and dark stone fruits, with soft, velvety tannins. Perfect with a tender filet mignon or a variety of rich cheeses, such as Manchego, pecorino, parmesan or bleu.

Fresh strawberry, Bing cherries, leather and an earthy undertone. Flavors are beautifully woven together—red fruit, dried raspberries in particular, root-beer and a lift of baking spice. Tannins are integrated and silky. A wine of great balance and harmonious flow.

Everything about this speaks elegance and finesse. Delicate aromas of citrus and patisserie and a palate of green herbs and pomelo. From indigenous varieties.
 

This Chardonnay has a golden robe with green hues. It expresses notes of citrus, apple and honeysuckle. Fruit forward in attack, an aromatic finesse that will end on a beautiful round and balanced length.

Ripe blackberry, cocoa, and mint on the nose. Brambly red fruit palate with a tannic grip finishes with notes of chapparel and licorice.

Streaks of lanolin and petrol lend a savory, mineral intensity to this off-dry wine. Concentrated yellow peach and nectarine flavors penetrate deeply on the palate, but the moderately long finish reflects its earthier, spicier side.

Nuances of spice, cedar forest and licorice lead to rich layers of cassis, boysenberry and black cherry which slowly unfold on the palate. The wine is complex with broad, muscular tannins, excellent structure and a long, velvety finish.

Deep ruby-red. Explosive, somewhat feral, highly aromatic nose of cassis, roast coffee, game, smoky oak and chocolate; shows a very strong torrefaction aspect. Lush, rich and deep; has a pliancy and degree of early personality I find in only the very best young California cabernets. Subtle notes of chocolate and tobacco contribute to the wine appeal. Finishes fairly tannic but very long.

Peach and honey come through to the palate, with mineral and chalk, apple, dough and spice, like an apple fritter. Got some Casaba melon, spice, and notes of Granny Smith apple

The translucently gold 2015 Salus Chardonnay is a model of balance and class that wonderfully showcases the interplay between the inherent concentration from the Rutherford location with the cut and verve that comes from the early picks and restricted malolactic fermentation. The nose conjures ripe lemons with hints of lime flesh and pomelo rind spiced by a faint dusting of powdered ginger and a distant rosemary sprig. Like a bobsled, the palate just glides… both weighty and sleek while riding a clean, crisp and refreshing edge.

This wine benefits from the best of both; Old and New World combining the elegance of traditional grape varieties with New World techniques. A stacked nose includes aromas of tomato, herbs, cocoa, molasses and berry fruits. The saturated palate announces that this is a big one, while spicy flavors of plum and berry fruits are slightly herbal on a finish with excellent feel and flow. 

A spicy, complex nose loaded with wild aromas of lilac, black forest, dried herbs, tobacco and clove. Rich and supple in texture, the wine offers dark, juicy flavors of blackberry, spiced quince, licorice and tar, with savory elements of wet earth, smoked meats and raw hide. Soft, fleshy tannins combine with a crushed stone minerality to give the wine great energy and a long-lasting finish.

An unusual Marlborough Sauvignon.  Wild Yeast.  A quarter fas fermented in oak and the blend, from 2 vineyards includes 7% Semillon.  This wine is halfway between Marlborough and Leognan in Bordeaux.  Broad, tangy with some lanolin and lots of green notes.  Very juicy and refreshing but with much more depth than average.  Oak is far from obvious except for the extra texture.

The aromatic impact it has is great. It has hints of white fruits, citrus bottomed, melted butter and a little balsamic. Palate is elegant and fresh. It highlights a peculiar vanilla, really nice flavor that lingers after drinking it for a long period of time. Acidity and sweetness are in perfect balance.

Set the mood with Twine decoratively distressed wine bottle candelabra. This romantic accessory transforms an empty wine bottle into an exquisite centerpiece and turns every meal into an elegant affair.

Aromatically the wine has notes of ripe and under-ripe red and black fruits, vanilla, and dash of pepper. The palate is full, with smooth tannins, red and black fruits, and a finishing kick of red pepper flakes. 

The wine shows vibrant acidity, fresh cut green apples and pears on the nose, and a weighty, creamy mid-palate. Exotic spices and a light, tropical note add to this  wines complexity. It should age well for another decade. Like anything else in life, The Enchantress is best enjoyed with friends.

Our 2015 Sorceress is a blend of 60% Grenache from Upland Vineyard, and 40% Syrah from Les Collines Vineyard. 50% whole cluster (foot crushed), it has classic Grenache notes of garrigue, allspice, tobacco, strawberries, and dark cherries. The Les Collines Syrah brings minerality and fresh acidity, along with plum and olive notes, and leads to a gorgeous finish with long, refined tannins and great energy.

From Rococo Wines, the 2016 SONA Grenache is a whole cluster fermented wine from the Alta Colina Vineyard in Paso Robles. This is a big, intense Grenache with plenty of dark berry fruit and a rich and concentrated mouthfeel.

Very smooth, some blackberry and honey, a hint of spice in the finish.  More delicate on the palate than I was expecting: red-fruited, hint of leather, and veers a touch earthy.

This Syrah blend is noteworthy for its explosive aromatics, with thick, rich fresh fruits of blackberry, boysenberry, plum and blueberry mingling with kirsch, chocolate truffles and subtle dried meat notes of Sopressata and iberico ham, along with the hints of fresh herbs and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is rich and full bodied, with waves of red, black and blue fruits, jam, and chocolate coating the mouth before being lifted by ripe tannins and amble, yet round acidity and finishing with hints of meats (bacon, salami), anise and rich dark earth. The wine finishes extraordinarily long and fresh, as acid and mineral notes continue to support the rich fruits for upwards of a minute.

Very plump berries are cut by underlying aromas of stinging nettle and uncracked peppercorns on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. Classic flavors of boysenberry with white pepper dust and dried herbs show on the palate, where acid cuts into a thicker mouthfeel.

Grassland Roads Tea Towel

Extremely expressive aromas of cola, morello cherry and brown sugar are very inviting on the nose of this blend of 51% Grenache, 21% Syrah, 14% Mourvèdre and 14% Counoise by former brewer Sherman Thacher. There is a flash of maple and black cherry on the palate, with oaky tannins providing structure and depth.

A constant play between sweet and savory. Gentle and dusty tannins lead the way into an incredibly long and precise finish. Mulberry sweetness and a wonderful tension between tannic structure and bright acidity. Balanced and refined Paring Red. A study in elegance.

The youthful colour has the depth to promise abundant black fruits, whole berry fermentation underlining the promise. It has the succulence of Langhorne Creek, but with a raft of flowery/spicy notes not so common in the region. Mocha oak adds another dimension, cuddling up to the plump tannins. Hedonistic? You bet.

A stylish expression; the elegantly lifted bouquet shows Gala apple, lemon peel, oatmeal and subtle spice aromas, followed by a succulent palate that is beautifully weighted and rounded. It is texturally appealing with lovely fruit vibrancy, leading to a lengthy engaging finish.

The estate vineyard usually ripens more successfully, especially in a top vintage such as 2016. Scents and flavors of strawberries and raspberries open lightly in a soft palate with an easy finish. Certified Sustainable.

This perfect summer wine has aromas of grapefruit and fresh cut strawberries. The palate reflects these flavors as well while still being acid-driven with hints tangerine oil and watermelon rind.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot provide the backbone for this lovely blend. Malbec brings color, red fruit characters and a hint of floral. Merlot adds a lively spice and herbal character with Cabernet Franc offering finesse and a peppery perfume. Aromas of lush, summer blackberries, brambly cassis, complemented by white pepper, clove, and baking spices are framed by sweet vanilla oak. Juicy, ripe, black cherry and blackberry flavors excite the palate, and the wine finishes long, wrapped in cedar, cinnamon, and clove.
