Great color, great fruit and great texture are all in store for you with this vintage.  The aromas gather the classic fruit nots of cherry, blueberry, and red plum while integrating the hints of reductive spice with its coffee and earthy elements.  The palate is both rich and bright, making this wine perfect for any pasta dinner. 

Richer in color, the nose of this refreshing Rosé comes through with red cherry, strawberry and hints of melon.  The palate with both richness and vibrancy, showcases the balance between fresh red fruit and bright acidity.  

This mountain expression from the Estate Rucksack Cab Franc vineyards is both bold and elegant. The intense color issues in the dark cherry, plum and sweet baking spice characters. A perfect pairing for complex dishes with savory spices and richness.

Freshness embodies this luscious Chardonnay.  The aromas of peach, melon and citrus keep the conmplexity forfront on the palate.  And then the fruit carries into the rich texture so sought after in great Chardonnays, finally finishing with a balancing "freshness" of lemon and lime zest.  

Lemon custard, ripe apple, pear and toasted almonds fill the nose on this refreshingly bright chenin.  Mountain-grown, the palate showcases our cool-climate acidity with citrus and green apple taking charge.  A beautiful food wine or your summertime treat, its lower alcohol (12.3%) makes it perfect almost anytime.  

This texturally rich yet balance blend of Rhone reds makes for the perfect food companion.  Dark cherry with hints of spice and molasses dance with the classic Syrah smokiness and ripe blackberry fruit.  Enjoy this GSM with rich foods, (sausages, mushrooms, steak) while embracing the conmplexity of the wine.  (35% Grenache, 59% Syrah, 6% Mourvedre)

2016 Seco—(41% Touriga Nacional, 33% Tinta Cão, 26% Alvarelhão)—A blend of Portuguese varieties from the Sumu Kaw Vineyards, this wine has a exquisite berry compote expression. Blackberries (Touriga), cherries (Tinta Cão), and red raspberries (Alvarelhão) abound in this food-focused blend. With a hint of rustic tannins, think grilled sausages, paella, and cumin/smoked paprika to pair perfectly.               

This blend of Bordeaux varieties (27.4% Malbec, 22.8% Merlot, 35.2% Cab Sauv, 14.4% Cab Franc, 0.2% Petit Verdot) brings about the bold and the elegant at the same time. We emphasize the Malbec and Merlot both for their softer tannins and dark cherry, plum fruit. The other varieties bring in the complexity of spice and backbone of tannin. Really, a Bordeaux blend off of 40+ year-old vines for $28? That’s crazy!

This bold expression of Mountain-Grown Zinfandel immediatly grabs you with its blackberry nose and dark cherry fruit.  Structured for richer dishes, the full-bodied palate and finish of bramble fruit lets you know this wine is from the heart of the Sierras.
