Our 2019 Big Bend Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast expresses beautiful stone fruit aromas of white peach and scents of juicy melon that leap from the glass. The complimentary oak spice, hints of vanilla, toasted nuts and caramel support the judicious fruit. The richness of the wine boasts flavors of white pear, green apple and kiwi which give it an elegant balance that is seamless from start to finish.

A beautiful dark ruby in color, the 2013 Sanford and Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir immediately gives note of the signature earthy aromas of dried flowers and roasted herbs that are represented by fragrances of deep plum, raspberry and a touch of star anise. Once in the mouth, the wine's seamless texture shows the integration that comes with bottle aging. Medium bodied, the flavors of spicy plum, cranberry and rich cherry pie intermingle nicely with a touch clove and tobacco on the.

Our girl Sasha was more than just another winery dog. She brought joy to our lives each and every day and is missed dearly by all of us. It was fitting that the special fruit from one of our most valued winegrowers in the far reaches of the Sonoma Coast AVA became available to us in 2018. It allowed us to produce this special bottling in her honor. She is truly the Saint looking over us from above!
The wine’s beautiful dark garnet color gives way to briar patch aromatics. You’re first introduced to crushed black cherry, with plum skin and a hint of potting soil. The lush texture and rich mouthfeel delivers complex layers of blackberry, more Bing cherry and a touch of baking spice. Over the next few years, the wine will continue to become even more seamless, integrating the new French oak and showcasing its abundance of nuances.
Our Three Barrel Blend is a combination of our three favorite single vineyard Pinot barrels each vintage. The 2014 3BBL joins two barrels from a cool Sonoma Coast Vineyard and one barrel from a stunning Russian River site. The result is a beautifully layered and lush Pinot Noir that expresses elegant notes of blueberry, rosemary, and a touch of cedar. There is an intermingling of crisp acidity and concentrated fresh red berries, orange zest, and tea flavors that linger thru the extended finish.
