A very focused and delicious Pinot that opens with a nose of cherry pie. Give this wine a little time and it will reward with well integrated flavors of strawberry jam, plum, bing cherry and strawberry with a long spicy finish. Jammy on the front yet crisp acidity on the finish. Interesting complexity. Buy This Wine
Get that patio party started with this easy drinking 100% SB. The glass will offer a nose of tropical citrus with notes of grapefruit and grass. Juicy flavors of pineapple, green apple and Meyer lemon, with a hint of honeycomb, balanced with touch of acidity on the palate. A patio party pleaser for sure. Buy This Wine
This varietal blend opens with a light nose of strawberry and spice. The palate offers up flavors of ripe watermelon, ripe strawberry, rhubarb, red cherry and raspberry balanced with a touch of zippy acidity. It paired very well with our Parmesan talapia and spinach/strawberry salad. Buy This Wine
This non-malolactic SB offers a crisp nose of green apple and spice. A soft mouth-feel with juicy flavors of ripe pineapple, tropical citrus and apple with subtle notes of honeycomb, apricot and spice combined with balanced acidity. A great summer patio sipper. Buy This Wine
This dark ruby rose’ opens with a nose of strawberry & rhubarb pie. The combination of Grenache, Syrah and Carignane offers the palate flavors of bright strawberry, raspberry and ripe cherry with welcome notes of baking spice. Plenty of zippy acidity and a faint hint of sweetness makes this a good foodie wine to pair with everything from a summer salad to grilled chicken to salmon. Buy This Wine
