VINTAGE NOTES: The 2018 growing season began with a cool winter, and just enough rain to replenish the vineyards. A temperate spring followed by mild weather throughout the summer allowed the grapes to ripen at a very measured pace, something we love to see in our vineyards. After several years of early harvests, the relatively mild weather and a healthy sized crop led to a return to more normal harvest times. After enjoying abundant hangtime to fully ripen, the quality of the grapes was...

NOTES: District 7 is all that Monterey as a winegrowing region has to offer. The number refers to our official regional designation within the state of California, but District 7 is much more than just a prime number. Most experts recognize Monterey County as one of the most beautiful and diverse winegrowing regions in the world with complex soils and coastal weather patterns. Our winemaking team reaps the benefits of the exceptional fruit we produce, creating wines that are fruit forward,...

Tiny bubbles elevate an attractive bouquet of ginger and brown spice. Appealing baked apple, honey and cinnamon flavors meld seamlessly with nutty caramel flavors gained from extended sur lie aging. The creamy and seamless structure combined with balanced acidity carries these flavors through the lingering finish.

The wine is elegant and restrained with fresh aromas of plum, raspberry and nutmeg. These aromas follow through on the palate and are layered with subtle and delicate flavors of cocoa powder. The wine finishes with excellent length and richness.

Growing Season: Overall, 2019 was a mild growing season with a later start to the summer. This seasonal shift led to a longer hang time, which allowed for even ripening and full berry development, while retaining natural acidity. Harvest started about one week later than average compared to the last handful of vintages, and the mild growing conditions led to a very long season — fruit was being harvested for nearly 70 days! This extended season allowed us to pick each vineyard block at an...

VINTAGE NOTES: The 2017 growing season began with abundant winter rains, followed by a warm, dry spring that led to a perfectly timed budbreak. In addition to replenishing the water table, the early season rains produced robust canopies, which provided invaluable shade during a week-long heat event that kicked harvest into gear during the last week of August. This was followed by a much-needed cooldown that allowed the vines to recuperate, while also giving us extra hangtime for flavor...

VINTAGE NOTES: 2019 brought another exceptional vintage to Napa Valley, resulting in wines with alluring polish and poise! The season began with a wet winter followed by a mild spring. While this led to a slightly later-than-normal start to the season, ideal summer weather with no significant heat spikes ensured ideal flavor development, yielding complex and vibrant whites, and refined reds with elegant tannins, enticing aromatics and beautiful fruit flavors. WINEMAKING NOTES: From its...

IN THE VINEYARD: The fruit for our cabernet sauvignon Napa Valley is selected from an array of vineyards located across Napa Valley’s finest appellations. We were privileged in 2019 to work with exceptional growers and premier vineyards in Rutherford, Yountville, Chiles Valley, and Calistoga. This diverse assortment of vineyards allows us to produce a cabernet sauvignon which is truly representative of Napa Valley.

The palate offers a vibrant, quenching acidity and provides structure for flavors of Feijoas, apricot, and a citrus mèlange, with the slightest hint of minerality to provide an intriguing counterpoint. The wine retains a sense of fullness without losing its refreshing acidity, flavors and aromatics remain lively and complex through the finish....

Notes: Grapes for this wine were sourced from Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll district, which includes two family vineyards. The area’s cooler weather, along with crop thinning and gravelly light soil, creates ideal conditions for producing a rich, distinctive Merlot. This wine is lush and supple on the palate, with expansive, dark berry flavors, a fresh earthiness and smooth, leathery tannins.

Notes: This wine is more minerality-driven than fruit-driven. Not grassy or overly ripe, it features delicate fruit flavors and steely, mineral notes. Starting with the 2019 vintage, our grapes come from Napa Valley and Suisun Valley, a “hidden gem” only 30 minutes from Napa that shares a similar maritime climate and produces exceptional wine. We harvest the fruit at just the right moment to achieve firm acidity and low alcohol.Tasting Notes:Scents of Newly ripened honeydew, white peach,...

VINEYARDS: We’re convinced that in the world’s best wines can be found the true essence of the place from which they came. We grew the fruit for this Cabernet Sauvignon in our Keyes Canyon Vineyard in Paso Robles. Hot days and cool nights, thin soils and stressed vines—these are the hallmarks of Keyes Canyon. Vines struggle to produce fruit here, resulting in tiny clusters with high skin-to-juice ratios that create deeply concentrated wines with intense flavors. This southwest benchland...

VINEYARDS:We’re convinced that the world’s best wines showcase the true essence of their origins. We grew the fruit for this Chardonnay in our Pinnacles Vineyard, on the east side of Salinas Valley at the base of the Gabilan Mountains. Cooled by morning fog and far enough from the Monterey Bay to get a long, daily dose of sun, this west-facing vineyard, planted at 300 feet in elevation, has proven itself to be an ideal site for Burgundian varieties, including Chardonnay. Known for its...

VINEYARDS:The biggest influence on the climate of Monterey County vineyards is invisible, yet its effects are undeniable. Under the surface of Monterey Bay lies a canyon that is two miles deep, sixty miles long, and filled with cold water. This canyon generates cool Pacific air, which is then funneled through the Gabilan and Santa Lucia mountain ranges. This natural air conditioning results in slow and gentle ripening—an ideal climate for Pinot Noir grapes.To preserve the delicate fruit and...
