2008 Estate Chardonnay
2008 Estate Chardonnay
Our Chardonnay is planted on alluvial soils that supplemented the near perfect weather that was textbook for Chardonnay production – cool mornings with fog and warm day that allowed the grapes to ripen to an optimal sugar level while retaining their acid.

The color is a straw gold with a slight green tinge. The fruit character is a compelling mix of lemon meringue, cream custard, nutmeg, orange blossom, and sweet vanilla oak. The taste mirrors the nose with a hint of toasty oak in the full and long finish and is smooth but balanced with a touch of minerality.

2008 Estate Sauvignon Blanc
2008 Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Our unique mountain site allows us to harvest SB at optimal maturity of 23.5 brix while retaining vibrant acidity. We feel that this, combined with a mineral component and the delicate flavors of Sauvignon Musque, are the keys to our wonderful Sauvignon Blanc.

The optimal harvest and use of neutral oak created a wine that is harmonious and delicious with subtle notes of fresh citrus, flower blossom, and lemon curd that carry on to a refreshing mineral finish.

2006 Estate Cabernet
2006 Estate Cabernet
Our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon comes from three distinct blocks composed of three soil types: volcanic-ash tufa, ryolitic volcanic soils, and iron rich alluvials. Because of these rocky volcanic soils, the vines produce intensely colored fruit with dark fruit flavors.

Saturated ruby color with a tinge of purple, the wine reveals a gorgeous bouquet of violets, lavender, blackcurrant, and black cherry. The oak aging adds nuances of cedar, tobacco, sweet vanilla and minerality. This wine’s vibrant flavors and aromas with soft, round tannins make it approachable now.
