As Master Sommelier Ian Cauble wrote, "the simplest way to present the Judge Palmer “Vintage Select” Cabernet is to say that, if I were tasting it blind, I’d be expecting to pay $75-$100 for it. Not $45."
Ripe and bright in feel, with racy red currant and raspberry coulis flavors leading the way. Invigorating savory, briar and sweet tobacco notes fill in throughout. A subtle apple wood frame on the finish lets the fruit mingle.
When we first laid eyes on the terrace block we knew it was something special. The steep hillside has perfect sun exposure and porous soils and produces an intensely flavored, full-bodied wine with classic California Cabernet character.
Dripping with sun-drenched black-plum and cherry flavors, this is an elegant expression of pure Grenache, marked by refined layers of black tea, crushed clay, rhubarb and cinnamon. Its freshness, silky tannins and juicy constitution make it ready to drink now, but it should gain depth well through 2028.
This fruit-forward wine is a unique animal - we use the three grape varieties growing on the estate vineyard to create an atypical red blend that fully expresses our terroir. Co-fermenting Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah together in one tank allows for seamless integration and smooth tannins, making it a food-friendly and crowd pleasing wine - you won't find anything else like it anywhere.
With only a few acres planted in all of Sonoma County, Grenache Blanc is not a variety that is on the tip of everyone's tongue. But you will never forget it once you taste this luscious, aromatic white wine that has become one of our absolute favorites.
This Sauvignon Blanc expresses the unique character of the mountain vineyard where it is grown, balancing layers of bright tropical fruit with fresh, crisp acidity. Fermenting and aging in 45% neutral French oak and 55% stainless steel give it just the right amount of weight and complexity.
A mountain vineyard in the Atlas Peak area of Napa Valley, Stagecoach is known to produce some of the most powerful and age-worthy Cabernets in California. It can be enjoyed now after an hour in the decanter alongside a ribeye steak or cellared for decades.
From perhaps the most famous Chardonnay vineyard in the new world, the Bacigalupi family has been growing amazing fruit since conquering the 1976 Judgement of Paris tasting. Rich and creamy with well-integrated oak character, it will delight all palates.
Some of our favorite white wines in the world come from Italy and it has always been a desire of ours to make wine from Italian grapes grown in California. Our second release of Fiano from a riverside vineyard in unheradled Clarksburg, this wine continues to exceed our expectations in every way, expressing luscious lemon character and showing rich texture from fermentation and aging in our clay amphorae.
An intensely floral, bracingly mineral, and richly textured white blend, it opens with a jasmine-tinged floral earthy nose, before fleshy aspects of nectarine, pear and citrus zest figure onto the palate, boosted by uplifted acidity.
Vividly floral and fragrant, with a delicious array of orange blossom, persimmon, dried apricot, and peach pie flavors, this dessert wine is both fresh in acidity and rich in texture. Honeysuckle and a hint of spice linger on the long and deftly balanced finish.
A solidly built yet approachable Cabernet, this wine shows a mix of plum, black currant, and blackberry compote flavors infused with licorice, tobacco and peppery hints on the finish.
