Floral and weighty, this Riesling has notes of lime sorbet, rose petals, and just a hint of fennel. Minerality is present throughout, and classic Riesling acidity is the backbone of this wine.
The Estate Blanc has an fresh scent of green apple and elderflower with hints of citrus aromas. It is charming and fresh on the palate with juicy acidity and hints of ripe tropical fruits.

Fresh plums with vanilla, walnut and a hint of tobacco on the nose. A medium-bodied red with a juicy, fluid mid-palate, coated by supple, soft tannins and a creamy finish. Good length here.
Bright, greenish-yellow in color, with abundant detachment of fine bubbles. Fruity aroma, with notes of citrus and white pulp fruits. Fresh, creamy and delicate. As an aperitif with canapés, mild cheese, fish, seafood and light pastas.

Very ripe pineapple and lychee aromas bound out of the glass, backed by just a hint of wood smoke. More pineapple comes through on an off-dry, medium-bodied palate, as well as some deeper honeyed notes....
Savory olive notes here alongside dark berry fruit, walnuts and licorice. Juicy and fresh with a nicely firm tannin frame, medium body and a more mineral finish. Try in 2024.

Plenty of spice (allspice & cinnamon) on the nose, but what makes this stand out is the excellent balance, with lively acidity & a hint of tannin that underlines this at the clean finish.
Made from premium hillside fruit planted at the turn of the century in Alexander, Dry Creek & Russian River Valleys. Aged for sixteen months in both French & American oak barrels this wine has the classic rich berry fruit, velvety texture & lengthy finish

This is serious & young but balanced, nuanced & complex. They are shortening the time in oak, as they feel they have better & younger barrels & think the wines need less time in oak & more time in bottle.
Beautiful deeply flavored, balanced, & fresh—a great summer drinker to be sure, especially with a quick chill. It’s clean and direct, with firm, blue-black fruit that lasts long past each sip.
