2021 Chardonnay-Oaked Santa Clara Valley AVA
Our Oaked Chardonnay was fermented together with our unoaked Chardonnay and then aged in 100% new American Oak barrels for four months. We blended in our very small lot estate Chardonnay. This treatment softened the citrus and added vanilla, apricot, and winter melon flavors.
Cases produced: 52 Retail $24.00 Club $20.40
2021 Rosé of Zinfandel Santa Clara Valley AVA
Our Rosé of Zinfandel comes from the same vineyard where we purchased our Chardonnay grapes. We delayed harvest until the end of October in order to develop the flavors. After destemming, we allowed the juice to sit on the skins for four hours before pressing. We fermented the juice “dry” resulting in a crisp rosé with flavors of blueberries and strawberries that drinks well by itself or easily pairs with anything from herbed goat cheese to barbequed chicken.

2020 Syrah Santa Clara Valley AVA
This Syrah is made with grapes from our estate vineyard and a small vineyard in San Martin that we manage. After fermentation, our 2020 Syrah was aged for 12 months in a Re-cooped French Oak barrel that previously held Cabernet Sauvignon. Flavors of blackberries and blueberries finish with a hint of spice and pepper.

2020 Merlot Santa Clara Valley AVA

2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate San Ysidro District AVA, Santa Clara Valley
Our estate Cabernet Sauvignon is influenced by morning fog that comes to us from across the valley, warm afternoon breezes, and cool night time temperatures. Aged 12 months in 66% once-used and 33% new American Oak barrels, it tastes of black cherry and currant. A hint of estate-grown Petit Verdot rounds out the mid palate to make this a very drinkable, food-friendly Cabernet Sauvignon.

2020 Cabernet Franc San Ysidro District AVA, Santa Clara Valley
