Aromatics of rose water, garrigue, cinnamon, and orange peel. Notes of red fruits, kirsch, bergamot, briary herbs, and cured meats. There’s an iron-like minerality running through the mid-palate. Even with a very warm vintage, this is a fresh and elegant style of Grenache that evades being over-extracted and syrupy, with juicy acidity and a lively finish that lingers a while. This wine can be enjoyed now, but if you have the patience it will benefit from cellaring and should evolve nicely up to ten years or more. 

Marsanne is often maligned and sometimes justifiably so if it’s flabby. On the other hand, it produces some of the greatest white wines in the world. Owing to its relatively high glycerol, marsanne can create rich and concentrated wines with great mouthfeel and if made properly can age well.

Subtle notes of fennel, clove, white pepper, and honey. Concentrated and pure with a medium to full bodied mid-palate. Roasted peach, almond paste, quince, and a nice spiciness. There’s a dusty minerality on the long zesty finish. Pairs well with food. We recommend seafood with a rich cream sauce like Coquilles St. Jacques. 

Aromas of briary herbs, eucalyptus, pepper and cardamon. Black fruit, espresso, charred meats, sandalwood, camphor and rosemary, and new leather on the palette. Full-bodied with a massive finish.

Aromatics of white pepper, lavender and wildflowers, and clove. A rich and velvety mouthfeel gives way to black fruits and cassis, roasted meats, black winter truffle and forest floor, and graphite-like minerality. Fullbodied and concentrated yet with great acidity that leads to a long rich finish. 

This is a blend from two different vineyards, although both have very similar terroir. This is intended to be a fresher style of Syrah that can be enjoyed in its youth. Hightoned aromatics of lavender, violets, and dried herbs on the nose. Velvety blue and black fruit fold nicely into savory tones of scorched earth, iodine, and black olive. Great acidity keeps this lively and effusive on the long finish. This wine can be enjoyed now but should evolve nicely up to 10 years from release.

Acacia flowers, spearmint, candied citrus fruit, nutmeg and spice. A medium bodied mid-palate with flowery herbs, white currants, honeysuckle, apple, and cheese rind. Like all of our wines in this vintage, there’s an intriguing balance between savory tones, fruit, and minerality.
