Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested in the Russian River Valley of California. The berries have thick skins, resulting in dark purple wines that are full-bodied with intense flavor.
This wine is aged in oak barrels to soften and smooth young tannins. It has full flavors of plums, blackberries, mint, and spices and pairs well with salted meats, cheese, steak, lamb, and pasta with a traditional red tomato sauce.
Merlot
A fruity wine with tannic structure, our Merlot vintages offer fruit notes with cassis and black and red cherries.
It is a dry, full-body wine that marries well with fatty cheeses, braised beef, lamb, ribs, filet mignon, and mushrooms.
Petite Sirah
Despite the similarities in the names, Petite Sirah and Sirah are two very different cultivars. Petite Sirah grapes are smaller and have a deep, rich, and spicy flavor of cherries, blackberries and vanilla.
This wine pairs well with grilled meats, pork, beef, lamb, venison, and fatty and sharp cheeses.
Pinot Noir
These grapes are grown in the Russian River Valley of California. Our Pinot Noir is a dry, smooth red wine and is flavorful, fruit-forward, and medium-bodied.
Pinot Noir’s profile is a medley of strawberry, cherry, plum, and raspberry. It marries well with wild game, a variety of cheeses, beef, bacon, pork, and chocolate.
Sangiovese
Sangiovese grapes are grown in the Russian River Valley of California. This wine is a dry, smooth red wine that is flavorful, fruit-forward, and medium-bodied.
