Wine Reviews

All barrel fermented in about one third new oak, the wine stays in wood on the lees for 12 months. Made from the 35-year-old Haire vineyard in Carneros and the Cunat vineyard in Oak Knoll, the wine is silky smooth, medium-bodied, yet fresh and vibrant. Crisp green apples, white peaches and subtle oak spices on a balanced, lively frame

This tank sample of the final blend before bottling shows an abundance of ripe, juicy, almost syrupy fruit flavors, from blueberries to blackberries and cherries. It feels soft and plush, tastes warm and broad and adds chocolate and vanilla accents to all the sweet-tasting fruitiness

This velvety, opulent wine is rich in baked cherry and blackberry aromas, with dark chocolate and crème de cassis flavors. Layers of fruit and oak spices fill the palate, shaped gently by fine-grained tannins

This warm, broad and easygoing wine pillows subtle poached pears, butter and oak-spice flavors on a soft texture and full body. The wine is very smooth, almost sweet, and delicious
