Some Cabernets want you to sit up straight and keep your elbows off of the table. Ours wants you to slow dance to your favorite song and kick back with friends that don’t care where you sit. Make no mistake, this is a serious wine, an explosively aromatic one with black cherry, black plum, clove, violets and black pepper. There’s also a deep, earthy quality with green bean and fennel aromas. On the mouth, expect rich flavors and subtle savory notes. This is a focused wine, a precise one, that lingers on the palate with the slightest kiss of French oak.

As you may know, Cab Franc is my spirit animal. Like a hummingbird, unique and aggressive with its love. This wine is a seductress, with its briar raspberry, nutmeg and vanilla on the nose, along with herbal notes, green olive and black pepper. There’s a dusty earth quality that follows through on the palate, with a beautiful balance of savory and fruit, masculine and feminine. This is an elegant wine, with fine tannins and a long, energetic finish.

This here is a Viking wine. Light a fire, rug yourself up in a dark lair with someone sexy (it could just be you) and prepare to be seduced. Not many people make a stand alone Petit Verdot, but in this soil and in this place, it is absolutely magical. This is a brooding walk through a winter forest, with perfumed sage, cedar, black pepper, fig and blueberry aromas. You may also notice tobacco, mushroom and baking chocolate. Huge, silky tannins, with a knock out finish.
