NEW RELEASES

 

2021 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

A classic Sta. Rita Pinot Noir featuring aromas of ripe red cherries, earth and hints of dried herbs. Red fruits follow through to the palate with bright pomegranate notes framed with supple tannins, zesty acidity and a whisper of cracked black pepper. Though approachable in its youth, a few years of maturity will certainly add nuance and complexity to this vibrant wine.    287 cases made. More Info

  

2019 La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir

An expressively complex wine from a vineyard often noted for its delicacy. The nose is rich with notes of black cherries, shitake mushrooms and a whisper of vanilla bean. The cherries follow us to the pallet, cradled by La Encantada’s distinctive panoply of baking spices like nutmeg, cinnamon and mace. Bright acidity and luxurious texture make this a perfect match for wild mushroom pasta or a Thanksgiving turkey.   112 cases made. More Info



2018 Watch Hill Vineyard Syrah

This wine showcases the vivid aromatics and flavors found in cool climate Syrah. Savory aromas of cacao nibs and coffee marry seamlessly with luscious flavors of dark plum, raspberries and dark chocolate. Ripe tannins and plentiful acidity frame the palate and flow seamlessly into a finish of raspberries and white pepper. The velvety texture and complex profile will only be enhanced with additional time in the cellar.    92 cases made. More Info
