A refreshingly dry Riesling offering up a nose of citrus and lemon cream. A food friendly level of zippy acidity is complimented by flavors of Meyer lemon, pineapple, apple, citrus and notes of minerality. Paired very well with seared spicy Ahi tuna and Asian slaw. Buy This Wine
A blend of five vineyards this young wine opens with a robust nose of red berry and spice. Big bold flavors of dark cherry, raspberry, blueberry, plum and licorice are integrated with notes of cinnamon and baking spices for a lush flavor profile. Soft tannins and a touch of acidity round out this beauty. Buy This Wine
An excellent example of single-vineyard Chardonnay. Traditional California oak/malolactic style offering a creamy luxurious mouth-feel with unique terrior characteristics. Aromas of fresh apple pie infuse the nose. The palate is caressed with creamy apple, pear and honeycomb flavors enhanced with a touch of acidity and flinty minerality. But This Wine

Flavors of cherry, strawberry, raspberry and rhubarb are combined with a good dose of baking spice for a well balanced sipper. Available by the bottle or a 3 liter bag-in-box. Buy This Wine
