Our Rosé has probably been my greatest teacher. It has taught me lessons in patience, curiosity, having faith, and knowing when to guide and when to step aside. This block, more than any other maybe, takes its’ yields very seriously. She will ferment how and when she wants, and will not be rushed. She’s always worth the wait, and I think she knows it.

This year she gives us lime blossom, perfectly ripe strawberries, with a bit of California citrus, as well as a hint of the leaves and sunshine that made her possible.

She has an energy to her that stays with you long after she’s gone. 

With a beautiful garnet hue, on the nose you find freshly picked cherries, cranberries, floral notes of violet and rose. A bit savory with oregano, and sweet basil leaves, as well as hints of black pepper, cinnamon, and clove. This wine is fresh and alive, and always gives the feeling of biting into a crunchy berry. Meant to be drunk young and chilled, although I think this wine will age in such an interesting way if I could ever wait that long.

Our 2018 Syrah/Malvasia field-blend gives plum, cherries, fresh pine, freshly grated nutmeg, caramel, and peppercorn in the nose. There’s a dusty, chalky loveliness to this wine and a lift of orange peel that complements the ample structure provided by the 60% whole cluster fermentation.

Mouthcoating, with an elegant earthiness that transforms while in the glass.
