Bright fruit and bright flavors. Aromas of ripe strawberry, red cherry and spice. Medium-bodied and juicy acidity with flavors of strawberry, tart cherry, bright red fruits and cinnamon spice with rustic and floral notes. A touch of Burgundian earthiness on the finish. Buy This Wine
A lovely medium- bodied blend of old vine Primitivo and Negroamaro grapes with soft tannins and mouth watering acidity. A nose of dark red fruit, blueberry and black cherry pie. On the palate, expect rich notes of black cherry, plum, zippy strawberry and brown spice. Hints of espresso on the finish. Buy This Wine
A lighter style of Zinfandel balanced with juicy acidity and supple tannins. Aromas of cherry, plum, leather and brown spice are the prelude to integrated flavors of red cherry, red fruit and ripe raspberries with just a bit of cola and vanilla on the finish. Buy This Wine
A beautifully approachable Cabernet almost right out of the bottle (give it a short decant). A rich nose of black cherry, ripe raspberry, brown spice and notes of earthiness. Silky tannins and juicy food pairing acidity are combined with flavors of cherry, raspberry, and brown spice with hints of cinnamon and cocoa in the long finish. Buy This Wine
A fun patio Rosé made of 42% Syrah, 28% Grenache, 25% Primitivo and 5% Petite Syrah with a nose of strawberry, spice and rhubarb. Soft acidity with flavors of red cherry, strawberry and bright red fruits with just a touch of cinnamon on the finish. Buy This Wine
