A vibrant nose of spice and red fruit abound on this wine.  Cranberry, sweet red bing cherry and raspberry flood the palate with a medium-bodied, soft-texture.  Perfect Barbera

Beautiful mountain-grown red fruit wafts forth from the glass on this wine. Cranberry, red cherry, pomegranate and currants dance with the complex spice purity of our Estate Cab Franc. Bold on the palate, this is a food wine to be paired with both elegant and rich flavors. (Drink now until 2030)

Dark berry and cherry fruit fills the aromas of this expressive mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.  Blended with a splash of Merlot and a dash of Petit Verdot, the palate is complex while being both rich and elegant.  Perfect for dinner or cellaring another 8+ years (2032!)

El Tinto Lot 43

This Zinfandel/Barbera blend spotlights the dark berry fruit of Zin with the red fruit characters of Barbera. A big wine with a huge entry of cherry and boysenberry, the 77% Zinfandel in the blend drives the wine all the way into the mid-palate where the 23% Barbera starts to take charge with its cranberry/red cherry focus (and balancing acidity). The finish, though, rounds back to berry flavors of Zin, lingering with an intertwining pinch of sweet vanilla oak. Great with barbecue and comfort foods alike!

This beautiful Grenache shows both the freshness of the variety and the depth of the region.  Cinnamon spice and strawberry fill nose while the full-bodied (yet still structured) palate harkens more to fresh cherries.  But the finish is all black raspberry.  Enjoy this classic expression!

Fresh blueberry, vanilla spice and complex cedar notes complete the aromas of this dense, dark and richly textured Malbec.  The blueberry intertwines with black cherry fruit throughout the mid-palate, giving a sense of lusciousness balanced by cool-climate tannins. 

Earthy aromas filled with wild mushroom and forest floor characters.  This mixes on the entry with dark cherry and hints of candied blueberries, framed on a rounded palate and a not to the mountain-grown roots of this Merlot!

56% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot.   This uber complex (or is that trés complex) wine is a rich blend showcasing fresh cherry, boysenberry and herbal spice.  Bold yet with supple tannins, this is that special occasion wine you'll want to drink everyday!

Rustic in nature and perfect with grilled dishes this wine pulls the best from Syrah and Cabernet and puts them together.  Black cherry and earthy characters come forth with a bold and enveloping entry (Syrah), and then the Cab takes over and providces the balance.  

This Syrah is pure, balanced and refined while still showing its Sierra Highlands beginnings. The aromas are a complex meshing of spice and dark berry and cherry fruit. Aged in neutral oak (and 100% Syrah) there’s only pure Syrah characteristics throughout. The entry on the palate is bold with dense cherry fruit. The mid-palate has the layering in of spice and smoked meat flavors, while the finish lingers once again with the dark cherry fruit.

The aromas really embrace the black pepper aspects of the variety with other savory spices layering throughout. More mountain red fruit builds with each sniff as plum and subtle soy sauce lend even more complexity. The entry on this wine is mouth-filling but not overly luscious as riper Zins sometimes are. There’s a striking density to the wine both in color and texture as the first sip floods the senses. Darker berry fruit with that pinch of spice fills the mid-palate while embracing the cool-climate acidity, keeping the wine fresher and more inviting.

Black pepper and anise spice on the nose intertwines with the ripe blackberry essence. Now, here’s the fun part. One might expect this wine to be over-the-top on the palate. Yet au contraire.
