Our Wines

• Chardonnay
  

  Tasting Notes:

  The golden color in the glass hints at the bright scents of stone fruit and yellow apple, underscored by rich, toasted oak. Ripe, round flavors of pineapple and mango are complimented by notes of vanilla and butter.

  Region:

  California

  Vintage:

  2021

  Winemaking:

  The 2021 vintage saw a late harvest with great quality fruit. All grapes were taken directly to press as whole clusters, gently pressed into tanks, cold-settled, racked as clean juice, and fermented over a two-month period at very cool temperatures. Once primary fermentation was completed, select lots of the wine went through a complete secondary fermentation to add a rich, buttery component.

• Pinot Noir
  

  Tasting Notes:

  Fragrant scents of red cherry and plum lead into fresh, bright flavors of strawberry, raspberry and pomegranate, backed by hints of star anise and clove. The soft tannins and balanced acidity provide structure and a lush, velvety texture.

  Vintage:

  2021

  Winemaking:

  2021 saw a later harvest with a smaller cluster weight. This additional hang-time, coupled with smaller fruit size, produced an impressive quality of fruit. The longer growing season with fluctuations between warm and cool temperatures developed rich concentrated flavor, color, and acidity, with soft balanced tannins.
