Our Wines

Our Sauvignon Blanc is from a one acre vineyard in Saint Helena. 100% stainless steel fermentation which brings you a wine that is bright, clean, and with a light golden straw color. This is an amazing wine for the summer.

Tasting Notes: The nose provides classic SB qualities such as honeydew melon, apricot, hint of key lime and very faint fresh cut herbs. The first taste continues with honeydew, beautifully balanced acid. The finish then moves to tropical fruits of pineapple, lychee, with a finale of faint overripe apricot.

This Saint Helena Cab is the find of the year and is going fast. Usually St. Helena Cab fetches $100 or more, we are able to bring this gem to market at a fantastic price. Opening up St. Helena to, hopefully, more people to enjoy. We could not be more thrilled.

Tasting Notes: I’ll let one reviewer speak to this amazing Cab. “We were stunned to silence at the first sip: Mission plums and cherry-pie notes exploded from the glass, and crushed lilacs lent it all a filigreed sense of elegance… fruit and loral notes are in harmony and promise years of evolution in the cellar.”

Hidden up in Howell Mounting is a small planting of Zinfandel; uncommon on a mountain where Cab is King. Our 100% Zinfandel was harvested from 103 year-old, head pruned vines. This showpiece spent a year and a half in a mix of various oaks to add to its layers: 40% low-aroma new oak, 40% neutral oak, and 20% American Oak. The maturity of the vines and the terroir of Howell Mountain shine through.

Tasting Notes: The nose is drenched with the smell of caramelization (marshmallows, butterscotch, or crème brulee – your pick), fig jam, cedar, dried fill from the American Oak, and leather. The palate has ripe plums, blackberry pie, and cedar.

Our Grenache from Paso Robles was whole-cluster fermented with minimal new oak that creates an inviting wine with bright fruit and immense character that leads to a level of complexity. In our initial tastings this has become the surprise hit.

Tasting Notes: From one of the reviewers “A glimmering lighter shade of ruby, with a deeper crimson core greets the eye. Redolent raspberries, spice and spring blossom all emerge on the open nose, as an inviting potpourri with a touch of tobacco. More delicate than many, this is a Grenache from Paso with great balance on the palate between delicately sweet red berries, fresh dry tannins, and juicy acidity. The finish punctuates a medium to full-bodied richness with energy and excitement. Pair with a hearty pasture raised whole chicken, roasted with brown butter and sage.”

As with last vintage’s Proprietary Red this was a unique find of Napa Valley grapes and one we can never get again. Atlas Peak AVA Merlot dominates the blend and Chiles Valley Zinfandel makes a sneak peek in each taste. This wine is ready to drink now or to hang out in your cellar for a while.

Tasting Notes: This beauty’s bouquet is violets, dried roses, black pepper, baking spices, orange blossom honey. And vanilla-infused plum preserves. The palate is treated to new leather, black current, dates, dried oregano, and cedar box.

25 cases produced!!! We keep hearing the same reaction from people when tasting this amazing wine from the barrel “I want to drink all of this now”. It hasn’t lasted since it went to bottle.

Tasting Notes: Blackberry all the way with leather and violets living in harmony. A faint hint of orange blossom points to the fresh fruit while the tannins showcase the French Oak
