California Red Wine
Winemaker
Notes

Veiled in dark ruby red, the wine bursts with a tempting perfume of red and black fruits, dried rose petals, and a peppery note which offers some lift.  Dense and ripe upon first pass, it evolves into a savory compote of raspberry, kirsch, and bitter cherry balanced out with mineral and herbal notes.  The finish is substantial with tangy acidity, yet buffered with polished tannins that please the palate.

Notes

A dominant nose of raspberry, rhubarb, and wild strawberry are complemented by savory aromas of humid tobacco, lavender and rose petal. An immediate entry of cranberry and other red fruit leads to a touch of savoriness. The wine is fresh and lively with great acidity and approachable tannins.

The wine presents a dark, polished amethyst with aromatic notes of white pepper, tobacco, and black currant emerging from the glass. A silky mouthfeel with a palate of dark plums, black raspberry, and hints of French vanilla closes with subtle tart black cherry and a lengthy, structural finish.

Notes

A vibrant ruby, coral hue invites the nose and features intense aromas of dark fruits, spices, and wildflowers.  On the palate, rich flavors of plums, black cherries, and mineral components dominate the entry leading to layered nuances of currants and strawberry jam.  The edges are soft and finishes clean with brightness.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Winemaker
Notes

We have searched NZ for growers with old vines who have been farming
these vineyards since Marlborough first was recognized as a premier wine
growing region in the 1970’s.

The base of our blend is comprised of fruit from vineyards in the heart of
the Wairau Valley, with its traditional passionfruit and crisp grassy flavors.
is component is complemented by the second wave of plantings in the
ever expanding Awatere Valley, which is noted for the minerality and elegant
characteristics the fruit gains from the region's proximity to the Pacific
Ocean. For the balance of this wine, we have sought out fruit from the
southern valley of Waihopai, where the gravel soils, and later, cooler
ripening climate produce Sauvignon Blanc characteristics that provide the
final layer of complexity and brings balance to our inaugural release of NZ.

Oregon Pinot Noir
Winemaker
Notes

Vivid red with a deep purple core, the nose is generous with ripe cherry, black raspberry, acacia flowers, and a hint of forest floor.  Immediately, the palate is treated to a textural mélange of sweet cherry, pomegranate, rose petal, and sappy strawberry.  A lively mid-palate reveals a mineral twist and exotic spice notes juxtaposed with fine tannins and superb clarity on the finish.

Washington Red Wine
Winemaker
Notes

Deep purple in color, the wine brims with aromas of wild blueberries, cassis, and pleasing notes of forest floor.  The palate is initially treated to dense flavors of plum, milk chocolate and framboise.  Following, a delightful interplay of violet, anise, black tea, and brown spices soon emerge giving further character to the wine.   Silky tannins encapsulate things with a very pure and true finish.

A beautiful dusty plum hue sits in the glass with bursting aromas of black plum and raspberries, floral notes of lilac and rose complemented by hints of cedar, black tea, and slate. On the palate, flavors of red fruits, cranberries, grapefruit and cherry cola sync with a bright and fresh acidity—a lively finish that lingers.

Notes

In the glass, an appearance of Himalayan salt opens with a nose of gardenias and early harvested stone fruit. A fresh entry leads to a honeysuckle mousse with hints of peaches and cantaloupe encompassing a dry minerality. The finish is memorable with a slight brininess reminiscent of the Himalayan sea salt hue.

In 2008 a friend of mine encouraged me to visit the Maury appellation in the South of France. He was really excited about a specific vineyard he discovered in Maury and spoke of all of things I care about – old vines, interesting varietals, diverse soils, reliable and consistent temperatures and a place that had a compelling voice.
