Our newest release, this luscious blend of Chardonnay from a Monterey coastal vineyard and our 2005 Viognier makes for a wonderful pairing of flavors. From the spicy Viognier you will taste hints of apricot, peach, cantaloupe and nutmeg. The barrel-fermented Chardonnay gives the wine a rich and sweet mouth feel. A versatile wine this will pair with a wide range of dishes from spicy Thai foods to seafood pastas.

It is back. Liquid love is what we call it. Our signature white port that we barrel age for 3 years before release. Made from our Estate Chardonnay and fortified with brandy half way through fermentation. Beautiful, luscious flavors of apricots, pears and dried fruits with a velvety nutty finish.

This wine opens up to black cherry, cassis and spicy oak coupled with subtle complexities of green olive, vanilla and floral tones. The blackberry and raspberry in the mouth, along with focused tannins make it perfect for summer barbeques (try it with a rib eye!) as well as hearty winter meals. This is a structured wine that should age well. As a food pairing, try a beautiful BBQ'd rib eye this summer. That is when we will be opening it. Give this wine 2 hours to breathe if you can and it will open up beautifully for you.

This wine is from a new vineyard off Summit Road. We have saved it in the past for our Reserve Angelica, but we allocated a small production lot on its own in 2003 and we are glad we did! It is luscious with a wonderful, full mouth feel. Lots of honeyed spices of cinnamon and nutmeg, along with notes of apple, citrus and pear. There is a toasty barrel spice flavor and a hint of hazelnut as well. With crab season underway it is a perfect pairing as well as with all of your rich seafood dishes such as halibut and lobster.

Produced from fruit harvested from a local Syrah grower, this beautifully colored wine is a refreshing accompaniment to a Tuscan picnic, Barbequed chicken, or Plank-roasted salmon. Soft floral textures characterize this wine with hints of strawberry, dry yet full of flavor.

This ruby colored wine is a very fruit-driven Merlot. Ripe red berries such as strawbery and cranberry are abundant on the nose with a nice touch of anise and barrel spice. The mouth is JAMMY! Lush raspberry and cassis make this a wine that you could imagine spreading on toast. This wine would be a great complement to a mushroom risotto, a barbecued Tri-Tip, or any variety of strong cheeses.

Made from California Mission Grapes this wine is representative of the type of wine first produced in the Santa Clara Valley in the 1880’s. It is the oldest variety of wine grape cultivated in California today and has great significance as it defined California viticulture for over a century. We have added brandy to the fermenting grapes that stops the fermentation process, leaves sweetness to the wine and acts as a preservative, which is why the wine was popular in the old days. Our modern day preference is to enjoy this historic wine chilled over ice with a lemon twist.

The Santa Cruz Mountains terroir has again yielded a somewhat wild, very fruity wine with hints of vanilla, plum, strawberry and clove. The tannins and acid balance on this wine give a wonderful mouth feel, even at this first release. Its very Burgundian nature makes it an ideal companion to rich foods such as smoked duck, sausages and stilton cheese. This wine was aged with 60% new oak.

Our wine from the world-famous Truchard Vineyard in Napa Valley will not disappoint! It is a sophisticated wine with all the flavor and body associated with a well-made Pinot. Velvety tannins with a viscous, weighty mouth feel underscore its very fruity character. Intense raspberry flavors and its sophistication make this wine ideal with simple foods, such as grilled quail, trout, or pasta with smoked duck

This is our second Port release. Blending from our Saratoga Zinfandel vineyard and a Petite Sirah vineyard we have created a luscious fortified port wine. The beautiful fruit from the Zinfandel complements the richness of the Petite Sirah. Expect jammy cherry, plum and black pepper flavors to emerge along with a palate of vanilla, smoke and clove on the finish with lovely silky tannins. You might even pick out some gingerbread and pomegranate! This luscious wine is perfect for sipping at cellar temperatures with piece of Stilton or rich chocolate, both of which are classic pairings and superb!

Dark and rich this wine is blended for complexity with an emphasis on youthful fruit. It is primarily a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Cherry and raspberry fruit aromas are complimented with notes of leather, pepper nutmeg, vanilla and baking spices. The velvety tannins carry the fruit and spices through the palate to a long pleasant finish. This is a great wine for picnics, barbecues and cool fall nights. Try it with dishes with mushroom preparations. This is our second release of this wine and for those that missed the first. Pavone is peacock in Italian.

Enjoy this sophisticated wine, great for summer, with a floral nose and crisp, light palate. Serve chilled with creamy brie or oysters on the half-shell.

This wine, from our 100+ year old estate vines, is spectacular. No wonder this was the one vineyard area the Picchetti family kept in production through Prohibition for their family use! The deep color, full mouthfeel and exquisite balance of fruit and tannins make this a truly exceptional wine that we reserve for our Club Members.

It is ready, big and full again of those beautiful jammy flavors. Smooth raspberry and vanilla on the nose. Treat yourself to this local favorite and savor it with a wide variety of dishes from a spicy Italian pasta or pizza to a simple slice of Spanish Manchego cheese.
