Tasting Notes: "This elegant Cabernet delivers bright aromas of black plum, roasted cherry, roasted meats, and violets on the nose. The palate displays plush tannin, vibrant acid, and flavors of dark berries, chopped herbs, tobacco, and licorice through a long and silky finish. 92 points" — Tom R. Capo, Wine Enthusiast

Tasting Notes: "Aromas of black plum, blackberry, soy sauce, pepper and cinnamon waft from the glass of this Cabernet. The palate is grippy and tannic, with a balancing streak of acid pulling right through the center, with flavors of roasted plum, cassis, blackberry and purple flowers resonating through the finish. 94 points. Hidden Gem." — Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast

Tasting Notes: 

Vineyard: The name To Kalon is whispered in hushed tones among lovers of Cabernet Sauvignon everywhere. There is something magical about the terroir at this valley floor site in Oakville that has produced world-class wines for generations of Napa Valley vintners. To Kalon sits on an alluvial fan deposited by ancient streams that flowed down from the Mayacamas mountains, establishing deep, gravelly, well-draining soils.

Vineyard: Ellis Alden Vineyard sits at an elevation of 1600 feet along the sun-drenched western slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains in the Alexander Valley. Isolated within a sprawling 4,000 acre ranch, the 200 acres of vines enjoy a pristine growing environment, above the fog line and sheltered from wind, frost, and negative pathogens. The Merlot is planted in volcanic soils on a gentle south-facing hillside, stressing the vines and yet soaking up sunlight, producing small crops of incredibly concentrated grapes.

Tasting Notes: "Bright and focused aromas of lemon peel, flowers and chopped herbs swirl on the nose of this Savvy B. The palate comes drenched in acid, with pure, focused citrus character dominating before a finish loaded with pithy pink grapefruit, sage and lemon balm. 91 points." - Tom R. Capo, Wine Enthusiast

Tasting Notes: “Aromas of fresh apple, spiced pear, and citrus blossoms drive the nose of this Chardonnay. The palate feels dense and bright, with generous acid and flavors of tangerine, baked pear, cinnamon, brown butter, and toasted hazelnut. 90 points.” – Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast

Vineyard: Best known for old vine Zinfandel and new plantings of Rhône varieties, the Dry Creek Valley is fully capable of producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon when the right conditions come together at a particular site. Since 1947, our neighbors the Gradek Brothers have farmed their unique property one mile up a remote canyon from the Dry Creek Valley floor. Cabernet Sauvignon vines are planted around a rocky knoll with excellent drainage and several aspects. These features, combined with decades of family knowledge of the site, yield wines with deep color, tremendous concentration and beguiling complexity.

Winemaker's Notes: Dark and dense with a deep eggplant-purple hue, this mountain-grown Cabernet is bold and aromatically intense. Notes of black currant, black cherry, and dusty cocoa mingle with a woodsy richness—cedar, leather, and vanilla—evoking the warmth of a fire in a remote cabin. The palate is structured and concentrated, delivering layers of dark fruit and firm tannins with a long, powerful finish.

Tasting Notes: "The nose of this complex and enticing Cabernet gives aromas of dusty cherry, spiced plum compote, pencil shavings, cocoa, and flowers. The palate brings potent tannins balanced with mouthwatering acidity and flavors of blackberry gastrique, currants, cinnamon, and chopped mint leaves along with a compelling minute-long finish. Give this time to unfold in the cellar and it will become a showstopper. 95 points. Cellar Selection." - Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast

Vineyard: Best known for old vine Zinfandel and new plantings of Rhône varieties, the Dry Creek Valley is fully capable of producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon when the right conditions come together at a particular site. When we first laid eyes on the Terrace Block at the Merrill’s Vinegrove adjacent to our winery, we knew we had found such a site. Planted on a steep south-southwest facing hillside a few hundred feet up from the valley floor, the combination of sun exposure, well-draining soil, and slightly cooler temperatures create the perfect storm for richly flavored, densely structured, classic California Cabernet.

Vineyard: Six miles up Soda Canyon, 1,800 feet above the valley floor, lies the last frontier of the Napa Valley – it is here that the Krupp brothers carved out the spectacular Stagecoach Vineyard on Atlas Peak by excavating over a billion pounds of basalt, andesite, and tufa boulders. The well draining red volcanic soil and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts at this elevation provide an ideal terroir for slow ripening grapes that yield wines with both structure and finesse.

Vineyard: Star Springs Ranch (formerly Ellis Alden Vineyard) sits at an elevation of 1700 feet along the sun-drenched western slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains in the Alexander Valley. Isolated within a sprawling 4,000 acre ranch, the 200 acres of vines enjoy a pristine growing environment, above the fog line and sheltered from wind, frost, and negative pathogens. Our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a prime hillside spot on the North Knoll with southern exposure that packs the grapes with powerful structure and expressive flavors.

Tasting Notes: This Chardonnay captures what makes the far western Sonoma Coast so compelling: California sunshine tempered by the cool pull of the Pacific. Grilled pineapple, tangerine, and apricot mingle with honeysuckle, while bright acidity keeps the wine fresh and energetic without ever turning sharp. A subtle touch of oak brings hints of toasted brioche, followed by a delicate note of Marcona almond on the finish. Generous yet beautifully balanced, it bridges Old World restraint and California fruit character in a way that keeps you coming back to the glass. Pair it with Petrale sole or a Sicilian orange and fennel salad.

Tasting Notes: The Riserva di Sonoma began with a simple idea: bring the soul of a great Italian red blend to Sonoma. Sangiovese leads with vivid cherry, rose petal, and bright acidity, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Sagrantino add depth, structure, and a savory edge. With extended time in barrel, the wine has woven together beautifully - candied cherry and baked blueberry layered with mission fig, bay leaf, tobacco, cedar, and warm baking spice. Fine-grained tannins give it shape without heaviness. Complex but never showy, it feels fresh, elegant, and distinctly Italian in spirit—the kind of wine that makes you start thinking about veal chops, pappardelle al cinghiale, or other slow-cooked Italian classics.

Tasting Notes: "This intense and layered Grenache brings aromas of ripe raspberry, cherry coulis, sweet cinnamon, and violets on the nose. The palate is a deftly balanced tightrope of rich tannin, juicy acidity and swirling flavors of roasted cherry, cocoa, cinnamon and chopped herb mélange. Absolutely delicious now, this will reward patience. Best 2030-2040. 95 points. Editor's Choice." — Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast

Tasting Notes: An aromatic white of striking lift and texture, the "Che Fico" opens with jasmine and honeysuckle blossom layered over pink grapefruit zest. The palate carries Asian pear, yellow apple, and flashes of lemon curd, balanced by bright acidity and a firm mineral spine, and finishes dry with lingering citrus and crushed stone.

Winemaker's Notes: Aromatically complex with tart red fruit, bay leaf, and eucalyptus, this Sangiovese captures the essence of Monte Rosso Vineyard. The palate mirrors the nose, featuring savory spice (clove, cardamom), zippy acidity, and grippy tannins that lead to a long, mouthwatering finish. Deep dark purple in color, this wine is as structured as it is expressive.

Tasting Notes: "This lovely and classic example of Barbera delivers nervy aromas of tart cherry, raspberry, purple flowers and warming spice on the nose. The palate is juicy and acid-laden, with flavors of black plum, berry gastrique, licorice and lavender resonating through the finish. 93 points. Hidden Gem " — Tom R. Capo, Wine Enthusiast

Winemakers Notes: Lighter-bodied than the previous vintage, this wine is salty, racy, and refreshingly tart. It opens with bright underripe orchard fruit—yellow apple, Asian pear—layered over a distinct minerality of salt and slate. A crisp acidity keeps it vibrant, while neutral barrel fermentation adds just enough roundness for balance. A natural pairing for seafood, especially simply prepared crustaceans.

Winemakers Notes: 2023 produced a bumper crop of Grenache from our estate vineyard and we took the opportunity given by mother nature's abundance to make the fresh, lively, and fruit-forward "Fresco" for the first time since 2019. Neither a rosé nor a typical red, "Fresco" is a chillable, light-bodied wine in the Beaujolais-style using carbonic maceration, and is a wonderful easy-drinking accompaniment to a backyard BBQ or pizza night.

Press: "Aromas of tart raspberry, blueberry, and spiced plum compote pop on the nose of this blend. The palate delivers crunchy tannin, a bit of fresh acid, and flavors of baked black cherries, figs, leather, and violets. Chill slightly and serve with grilled ribs. 92 points." - Tom R. Capo, Wine Enthusiast

Tasting Notes: Composed of inky-colored Petite Sirah and structured Cabernet Sauvignon, the Riserva di Casa is the most cellar-worthy wine from our estate vineyard. There's solid depth to the violet, blackcurrant, strawberry, and blueberry aromas on the expressive nose of this blend. Polished tannins and a grippy texture uphold those weighty fruit flavors on the palate, wrapped with a firm tension of sweet spice and crushed black rock.

Winemakers Notes: This grape that hails originally from the Gavi region of Northern Italy grows beautifully in Northern California and produces an aromatic white loaded with texture and complexity. Fermented and aged in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak barrels to retain freshness and varietal character while adding depth, this wine will appeal to white wine lovers of all stripes looking to explore something new with shellfish, basil pesto pasta, or a lazy afternoon by the pool.

Vineyard: Our estate vineyard in Dry Creek Valley, known as the "Vinegrove," is a few hundred feet up from the valley floor, providing respite from the hottest days of summer. The nearly 30-year old vines are planted in fine Laughlin loam soils and are organically farmed. The center swale rolls through several exposures, allowing for balance and elegance in our Grenache. The steep south-southwest facing corner block has the most porous earth and soaks up afternoon sun, creating richly-flavored and densely-structured Cabernet. Petite Sirah receives the first rays of morning sun, but otherwise stays cool in the lowest spot in the vineyard, bolstering acidity and color.
