This wine has a bright, ruby red color. On the nose, earthy, woodsy aromas are joined by red fruits as well as notes of dried meats and mocha powder. The wine exhibits a soft, medium body with velvety tannins and juicy red fruits. There is terrific spice and crushed stone notes that complement the fruit. The finish is mouthwatering and shows off the wonderful acidity that these varietals have when grown in a cool climate. This is a wine that will work on practically any occasion, with a wide variety of foods.
The nose has a distinctive red fruit character with a brambly, fresh cut wood quality. Lots of spicy cedar and cinnamon aromas. Fresh red and black fruits, like raspberries, blackberries and cherries dominate the mid-palate along with a dose of savory, earthy spice that leads to a firm and edgy finish. This is a medium to full bodied Grenache with a great backbone of acid and firm tannins that are partly due to whole cluster fermentation. The finish is lengthy and distinctly earthy and will benefit from moderate age or a bit of time in a decanter.
Bright, vibrant, light garnet color in the glass. The nose is fresh and intense with dusty, strawberry and sweet floral/herbal notes. With some air, warm spices and earthy notes of stone, bramble and more herbs appear. On the palate the wine has mouth filling, medium weight with a wonderfully round, glossy mouthfeel and it remains lively with more berries and an earthy forest floor quality. Fine tannins and a bit of spice from the light use of stems are apparent on the finish as well as a distinctively chalky, ocean stone like minerality.
This wine has a glass staining dark ruby red color. The aroma jumps from the glass and is filled with ripe red fruits, cassis, leather and a bit of spicy white pepper. The woodsy aromatics are derived from both a bit of new French oak and the varietals themselves. On the palate the wine is generous but firm with sweet, sappy fruit and savory spice. It’s obvious there was a good deal of tannin here as the wine has great power but a lengthy stay in barrel has softened into to a plush, mouth coating richness. Expect this wine to age well for 15+ years.

"Bright, shimmering yellow in color. On the nose, bright, high toned aromas of peach and nectarine are present along with a distinct dose of lemon zest. The aroma has a hint of briny sea mist as well, hinting at the proximity to the ocean and the ancient seabed soils the vines are planted in. On the palate, more of those stone fruit flavors dominate and are framed by crisp, fresh acidity. The finish is clean and delineated and stays focused on fresh fruit and crisp acidity."
This wine has a beautiful dark, saturated ruby color. This version has an interesting blend thanks to what Mother Nature gave us in 2019. With even amounts of Grenache and Mourvèdre and just a touch of Syrah the spice in this wine is warm and earthy. The nose is filled with dark fruits, blackberries, blueberries and plums. There’s wonderful balking spices and hints of lavender as well. On the pallet the wine has an easy, medium body mouthfeel with soft, resolved tannins and good acidity keeping it all in check. You can enjoy this with a wide variety of foods thanks to its easy-going weight and fruity character.

Radiant and shimmering deep straw in color to a light golden hue. On the nose this wine has distinctive white flower and orchard fruit aromas. On the palate honeysuckle and nectarines along with fleshy peaches and apricots are interlaid with sweet spicy notes and hints of vanilla cream on the finish. There is lots of delicious fruit packed in this wine, but it is the vibrant, energetic acid profile that strikes the palate from start to finish that I find keeps me coming back to the glass over and over again.
