The nose is amazingly complex and intense: flowers, fruits (apple, melon, citrus), herbs, minerals. Lean yet richly flavored and persistent on the palate, with a creamy mouth-feel. Strong minerality and excellent acidity make this wine an elegant ...

This Chardonnay has a delicate apply nose, a bare hint of oak (there is hardly any notice of oak here we are not great funs of oak) that led to more delicate aromas: gentle flowers and herbs here and oak would cover them up. There is subtle hint of tropical fruits, but it is just the hint, the primary fruits here are cold climate fruits like apples, pears a little quince aroma as well. This ...

Deep yellow, pale gold in color with greenish hues. Very varietal on the nose with a ripe tropical pungency and herbal spices. On the palate, just a hint of oak with ‘leesy’, dough-like notes. Fruit of a tropical nature with a stony minerality which is common to many Renaissance whites. This wine will age and transform over many years, possibly 10-15. Pair, while young, with shellfish. 76 ...

Complex, almost pungent, waxy nose, thick with peach and flowers.Very rich and elegant: complex and deep, with nuts, bees wax, and ...

A beauty! On the nose deep aromas of black fruits with hints of violets- quite intense. On the palate, black raspberry is the main flavor with violets suggested once again, along with a hint of fresh tree resin. There is also a ‘meaty’ element and finally, black pepper. This is a very long-term wine with noticeable tannins, and yet, due to the wine’s balance, the tannins do not detract from ...

Aromatically, very intense, complex brambly fruit with blackberry and raspberry notes. Bright, vibrant, and vigorous on the palate with a very long spicy, refreshing finish; somewhat reminiscent of a southern Rhone wine, like ...

A lovely burst of ripe fruit and a classy touch of leather. Though lighter than our previous Zinfandel vintages, this is a great wine to drink by the glass or enjoy with a meal.

Full throttle, intense, rustic rendition of this gentle-hearted, easy-going varietal. Rich fruit and powerful flavors are matched by a muscular structure and a long crisp finish.

To our knowledge, no other California winery is releasing a wine of this age and quality level. We are blessed with great vintages throughout the nineties and this wine represents a definite peak of quality. This is a penetrating, dimensional and truly ...

77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc

1996 was a challenging vintage - the wines are more severe in style. But now 12 years later (when we are releasing it)the wine is absolutely ready to give some pleasure. The aromas are delightful, very complex, they open with lots of berry fruit and sweet spices like cinnamon and cardamon, fragrant woods. A grapey side to it ...

Deep, saturated color to the rim. A gorgeous, deep, ripe red fruit bouquet (berry, cherry, & plum) with the telltale ...

 

A beautiful mature nose with good complexity on the palate and great mid-palate fruit. The finish is dry and somewhat tannic. 96 was definitely a ‘lighter’ vintage for us and we are very proud of how wonderfully this wine has evolved. Serve with roast beef, this is definitely a dinner wine. 390 cases, 12.6% alcohol. Magnums ($85) and 3 litre ($195) also available.

A truly memorable and remarkable nose with amazing complexity. Deep, rich, and elegant; this is a wine to sip and savour, to meditate on. It's lean, very focused, and minerally, at the same time brimming with ripe fruit and underlying richness; the more attention ...

50% Syrah, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon

The wine is very concentrated, very velvety and you can sense immediate ripeness. The nose conveys softness and compactness. First you will notice the fruit, then the spiciness from Syrah (black pepper). On the palate the wine is very rich, mouth fulling. You can feel the richness of ripe fruit, YET not overripeness, no syrupy character in the ...
