The Moonraker is a modern red blend, with Grenache providing the cornerstone and Syrah, Tempranillo, and Mourvedre providing additional structure and personality. It showcases the complexity that is possible by combining these classic varieties.
Bright red in color and its aromas are equally energetic, with ripe dark strawberry, raspberry, and rhubarb, with white pepper and exotic spice, and a dusty mineral component reminiscent of smoothed stones.
A thoughtful interplay of fresh and savory, structure and elegance. There is bright energy with sweet fruited textures, focused at first and broadening on the mid-palate, and lengthening to resolved but age worthy tannins.
There is bright energy with sweet fruited textures, focused at first and broadening on the mid-palate, and lengthening to resolved but age worthy tannins with flavors of boysenberry, fruit leather and chaparral, with raspberry leaf tea, cedar, and just a hint of cured meats.
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.
This vintage’s Deuce is full of rich dark plum, purple roses, and baking spices on the nose, with red raspberry, huckleberry, cedar and underbrush in the mouth. Round flowing layers of tannins move through the palate with determined integrated acidity.
Vinous brambly blackberry, blueberry, dusty wet river rocks, notions of dried thyme, and faraway vanilla beans come out of the glass. With a little time, this well-preserved wine opens up with aromas of red plum and raspberry, rock salt and a bit of lavender.
This elegant, yet powerful blend of 100% Syrah highlights its old-world origins. Structured with natural acids that add citrusy high tones that provoke a long and lingering yet refreshing finish.
This head-trained Grenache was fermented using 34% whole cluster and was allowed to undergo natural fermentation with native yeasts. Once barreled, this wine rested for 15 months in barrel. This wine can be enjoyed in so many ways, but we like to chill it a little before serving.
