The 2018 growing season was outstanding the Santa Clara Valley allowing for a large crop with long hang time on the vine, giving intense and complex flavors. Concentrated and crisp, fresh blueberry is the first aroma you smell, complimented by vanilla, graham cracker and toasty oak nuances. The mouthfeel is substantial, but silky at the same time with lots of dark fruit and oak flavors in the long finish.

2019 Chardonnay
Our delicious Chardonnay comes from grapes grown at the foothills of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County. The 2019 growing season was similar to the 2018 in the Monterey area allowing for a long hang time on the vine, the grapes for this wine were harvested October 11, 2019. The deep straw color of this decadent wine hints at the zesty apple and pear, ripe cantaloupe and citrus fruits in the nose along with toasty almond and graham cracker, vanilla, caramel and butterscotch oak. In the mouth there is ripe apple, lemon curd, brioche, cinnamon and baking spices and a weighty, viscous finish that is anchored to the mouth with lovely acidity. Pair with miso basted Chilean seabass or your holiday turkey!

2018 Estate Malbec
The 2018 growing season was started quickly in the Santa Clara Valley but then cooled down allowing for a long hang time on the vine. Blackberry jam and leather lead off the aromas followed by sweet tobacco and cherries. Big juicy tannins in the mouth combined with good acidity, anise and cranberry flavors make this a perfect BBQ wine.
