The color of this wine is best described as pale straw with a slight tint of emerald green. The nose opens as a classic Chardonnay, with big aromas of pear and honeysuckle, accented with citrus zest and a tiny bit of flint. Stay with the glass a moment and you will note that the floral component opens up, delivering graceful notes of jasmine woven through with hints of butterscotch and oak.

2015 Zinfandel, Monte Rosso Vineyard, Moon Mountain District

The nose on this wine opens up quickly with big layers of black plum and brambleberry. Swirl the glass, and you will find the nose developing notes of mocha and cedar under the fruit, with just a hint of crushed black pepper. Take a sip and you will find bright red fruit underscored with light carmelized sugar. The acidity is crisp and lends to the intensity of the fruit, which quickly opens into characters of summer blackberry and juicy plums. The tannins are rich and full, and carry the palate through to a finish brimming with toasty vanilla and red licorice. Enjoy now to 10-plus years from the vintage date.

2017 Zinfandel, Sonoma Valley, Bartholowmew Park Vineyard

The 2017 Bartholomew Park Vineyard designate Zinfandel is a tribute to the historic nature of viniculture in Sonoma Valley, and to the excellent wines that continue to be made here today. These grapes were grown towards the southern end of Sonoma Valley, on a dry, warm bench of land which was the original site where Agoston Haraszthy, the father of California viniculture, planted the states’ first commercial winegrapes in the 1850’s.

2018 Grenache, Sonoma Valley, Estate Vineyard

As grape varieties go, Grenache is grown and made into wine pretty much all over the world. Winemaker’s stylistic intent will dictate the outcome more than the grape. Winemaster Richard Arrowood again demonstrates finesse with this fresh and floral, easy-drinking wine that is more akin to Beaujolais than to the ultra-ripe expressions of Grenache that can be syrupy, thick and sweet with jammy fruitiness.  (not eligible for discounts)

2016 Petite Sirah, Sonoma Valley, Monte Rosso Vineyard

The 2016 Petite Sirah Monte Rosso Vineyard is 100% Petite Sirah. This wine is an excellent example of what this grape can become; the tannins are big, yet they are also round, firm, and elegantly smooth. The acidity is intense, yet carefully balances the wines body and depth of flavor. It begs to be aged, forget it for 4-5 years and drink it over the following 25 years.
