Every vintage, we attempt to assemble a small bottling of Syrah from throughout our vineyard that most expresses the potential of this unique site: a Syrah with exceptional purity of fruit, textural depth, vivid acidity, exceptional length, and the promise of aging thoughtfully.
Our 2021 Reserve Viognier is a satisfying balance of energy, weight and delicacy. We find aromas of honeysuckle and jasmine, vanilla bean, ripe lemons, confectioners sugar, herbs, and stones. There is a pleasant symmetry between refreshing acidity and layers of lush polished tannins.
Within minutes in the glass, luminous black raspberry, dark strawberry, purple plum, pomegranate molasses, and subtle smoke-cured meat come into focus. Naturally built for age, this Syrah has plush sturdy tannins, with bright lingering acidity, poise, and a balance of tension and thoughtful generosity.
The aromas of this dark wine are of violets, dark plum, wild huckleberry, fine cacao, and grilled meats. Ripe red cherries, raspberries and plums evolve in the glass, with subtle mahogany, sage, and vanilla to accompany.
This vintage was pressed whole cluster and then fermented and aged in primarily neutral French oak barrels and a large concrete egg. The glass fills with aromas of sea mist, evening jasmine, subtle perfume, ripe lemon, tangerine twists, and white nectarine.
Our estate GSM is a vintage snapshot of the red varieties planted across our vineyard. Aromas of raspberry, cherry, and currant, pop from the glass, opening to scents of bay laurel, sage, dried cranberry, hibiscus and crisp early rhubarb.
Our Grenache is energized by the acidity and tannins afforded by our cool summer mornings. With aromas of cherry, raspberry, rhubarb, dusty saddle leather, and citrus zests this wine is thoughtful and lively, with a sweet fruited density.
Lovely floral red raspberry aromas and pink grapefruit provide a foundation of freshness that is balanced with the warmth of subtle evocations of salt, herbs and vanilla cream. Moderated generosity describes the palate, with guided acidity, rounded layers, and quiet but confident tannins.
Lavish honeycomb, ripe white peach and apricot, summer flowers and grasses, and a touch of crème anglaise and baking spice. Texturally, this wine is plush, with considerable breadth and depth, and structured velvet tannins.
Aromas of lemon and grapefruit juice and zest, cut apples, and white flowers dominate the 2022 Spiral, with elements of mixed fresh herbs and wet stones. The texture gives breadth and suppleness through the mid-pallet and finishes with a thirst quenching vibration of acid and tannin.
