100% Zinfandel from 100 year old vines, very small production of 100 cases. Aromas of blueberry, blackberry, black cherry and peppery spice. A round mouth-feel with defined tannins and balanced acidity. Robust flavors of blueberry, blackberry pie combined with an exciting rustic briariness. Notes of red licorice in the finish. Pair with spice rubbed brisket or ribs (no sauce)  Buy This Wine

A lush mouth-feel with crisp acidity offering flavors of strawberry, raspberry, ripe watermelon and brown spice. Notes of rhubarb in the very long finish. Plenty of body to pair with grilled chicken or salmon. Buy This Wine

A festive go-to sparkler. Predominately Pinot Noir with a small amount of Chardonnay blended in. A soft mouth-feel with balanced acidity combined with a soft nose offering hints of rose pedal, raspberry, strawberry and yeasty pie crust. On the palate, flavors of red cherry, strawberry, raspberry, spice and a touch of rhubarb. No need to wait to celebrate to enjoy these bubbles. Buy This Wine
