Our philosophy is that growing grapes for great wine is a blend of science, art, and folk wisdom. We believe that great wine begins in the vineyard and should reflect the region where its grapes are grown. We have always believed that great friends, great food, and great wine are essential to a great life.

Cabernet Franc
This 'Loire' style Cabernet Franc exhibits classic characteristics, blending ripe red cherry fruit, and just enough violet aroma and exotic spice to capture your attention. Pairs perfectly with grilled sausages, fresh fruit and Pecorino Romano cheese. 75 cases produced.

Merlot
This first release estate grown varietal Merlot from three-year-old vines pruned to yield just 1.6 tons per acre shows integrated 'young vines' fruit and structure. Made from 89% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot, it displays a precocious quality with gentle tannins and black cherry fruit to go along with aromas of cinnamon and anise. 310 cases produced.

Reserve Merlot
Our "reserve" Merlot will spend 22 months in small French oak barrels. This concentrated and robust wine is a vintner's barrel selection from four harvest lots. The wine is comprised of a 92% clonal Merlot blend, plus 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and a 3% vineyard blend of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Generous plum and blackberry fruit give way to underlying notes of red licorice, vanilla and sweet spices. 150 cases produced.
