Winery Notes- color: deep, dark shiny oil with touches of magenta and mashed strawberry on the rim on the nose: beautiful flowery nose of rose petals, lavender and pencil shavings with black pepper, blackberry and blueberry, lingering on roast beef and paprika on the palate: dense entrance evolving on a layered mid-palate, lingering on fresh granular tannins with touches of dark fruit and violet

Winery Notes- The Domaine Carneros Cuvée de la Pompadour Brut Rosé, celebrates the life and times of Madame de Pompadour (the great courtesan and mistress of Louis XV) who is credited with introducing Champagne to the court and was an influential tastemaker in the matters of art, architecture and philosophy. Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé is a wine of great balance, emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics to a greater extent than evident in the Brut or Le Rêve. It is made strictly with artisan attention to quality, with sourcing exclusively from Carneros and the use of time-honored Champenoise methods of production. A blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, the Brut Rosé is meant to be enjoyed at a fairly young age, when the fruity character is still predominant yet there is enough age to make the wine round and balanced. The wine's aroma has hints of wild strawberries and roses with notes of peach Although a pale pink in color, Brut Rosé is not sweeter than our other wines. It is a true Brut.

Winery Notes- Purplish ruby red color. Very evident scents of ripe cherry and red berries. The flavor is deep, full and harmonious, with a persistent finish that lingers on the palate, ending with a hint of almond. Excellent, balanced, fragrant and very easy to drink.

Winery Notes- A delightful wine that exudes elegance and sophistication. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and watermelon, along with floral notes of rose petals and orange blossom. The fruit aromas are complemented by a subtle hint of spice, which adds a layer of depth to the wine. On the palate, the Sonoma Rose 2022 is crisp and refreshing, with vibrant acidity that balances the wine's sweetness. The flavors of fresh red berries are pronounced, with a slightly tart finish that lingers on the tongue. The wine has a medium body and a silky texture that makes it easy to drink.

Winery Notes- It takes a tight rein to ride a headstrong young horse that loves to run. So it was with guiding Brick House Pinot Noir fermentations in 2021. All the sunshine and the warmth of the vintage packed every grape with more than enough of what it takes to make great wine. Thus, an exercise in restraint: picking early to preserve acidity, gentle pump overs instead of rigorous punch downs and then a careful selection of barrels to achieve a “Select” bottling of near perfect balance. Dark, brooding color, strawberry and crushed cranberry notes all with alcohol under 12.5%.

The 2022 Ronchi Di Cialla Friulano is a captivating white wine that showcases the beauty of Friuli-Venezia Giulia's terroir. Its pale straw color invites with a bouquet of delicate floral aromas, intertwined with notes of ripe pear, apricot, and a hint of almonds. The first sip reveals a rich and smooth texture, adorned with flavors of juicy peach, citrus zest, and a touch of honey. This medium-bodied Friulano boasts a refreshing acidity that balances the fruitiness and gives way to a satisfyingly persistent finish. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with seafood, soft cheeses, or light pasta dishes, this wine exudes elegance and charm, capturing the essence of its Italian heritage.

Winery Notes- Chalk Hill Sauvignon Blanc opens with aromas of lemongrass, grapefruit, and fresh flowers. The palate is vibrant and rich with beautiful notes of tropical fruits, grapefruit, and a clean minerality on the finish.

Winery Notes- The 2017 vintage growing year will be remembered for its April frost damage and very hot and dry climate. This is why the conditions were perfect in terms of plant protection. In September, temperatures dropped appreciably with considerable differences between day and night temperatures. This situation helped especially the polyphenolic profile of the red wine grapes with a medium-long vegetative cycle. 2017 can certainly be remembered as one of the earliest years with healthy and complex grapes. Deep ruby red with garnet hues. Intense and pleasant wide bouquet with scent of currant, liquorice, tobacco, spices, coffee and leather. Multifaceted, harmonic and smooth with hint of blackberry, full-bodied with chewy tannins and pleasant finish.

Winery Notes- This is our first ever legit GSM. Kinda. More like a GMGS, but it's close enough. I must admit, having the Mourvedre's savory character lurking in the background makes the Grenache's bright red fruit pop so hard aromatically it takes this wine to a completely different stratosphere. The PBV Graciano, also planted on limestone hillside in Ballard Canyon, brings lots of spice and darker fruit tones into the mix. The majority of this wine is sourced from Fulldraw in Paso's Templeton Gap, and Kruse Vineyard in Willow Creek District and you can really taste the soil. The Fulldraw Grenache portion is situated on a super steep North facing slope that is littered with Limestone. On the palate the chalky freshness and minerality is so distinctive. My favorite wine we've made yet. Enjoy
