2013 Russian River Vintage Notes


Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to work with many great vineyards.  The selection that contribute to this wine all come from growers that surround our Sebastopol home. There is often a recognizably full mouthfeel and texture to the wines from the area - a common thread to the components of this blend and a feature we are drawn to every vintage.


Nose: Bing cherries, black raspberry, rose petals.


Mouth: Cherries and rose hips that blossom to cola, pomegranate and sun drenched raspberries, culminating with chocolate dipped oranges that coats the palate and lingers long after.



2014 Sonoma Coast Vintage Notes


On the heels of a wonderful 2013 came an even more special 2014. The consistency and quality of fruit from across our vineyards was astonishing and beautiful to work with. Our recent drought was somewhat lessened by welcome February rains and the vines responded with balanced and delicious fruit.


Nose: Lifted red fruits, smells like the coast, herbs, freshness, spring tips, citrus tones, cedar, earth.


Mouth: Precise fruit, red and crisp, fresh, pretty texture: grippy with bitter chocolate, rose hips.
