Make no mistake; our Merlots are for Cabernet lovers. Dark ruby color introduces a ripe medley of blueberry/blackberry pie aromas. The mid-palate floods with ripe berry flavors that then introduce mocha, vanilla and espresso nuances that linger through the finish.

Carneros region Beautiful garnet hue. The aroma suggests a medley of strawberry and raspberry with a slight hint of toasty oak. Medium body and lively on the palate, the crisp natural acidity lifts these aromas and provides a long elegant finish. Aged one year in 100% new Burgundian cooperage and another year in the bottle, the 2013 Pinot Noir is drinking very well with ample natural acidity to lie down and continue to develop for years to come.

In the nose, wild raspberry, fern, cedar, and vanilla. Compact mouthfeel with cranberry, taught tannins, and earth notes. A fresh finish with lovely red fruit, and hints of toasted oak. 200 cases produced.

Wonderful mix of red, black and blue fruits; strawberry, blackberry, and blueberry. The generous fruit is accented by leather, flint, black pepper, mineral and anise. Medium dry and approachable with soft finish.

The classic character of slowly but thoroughly ripened Cabernet family varieties show beautifully in a medley of black cherry and currant aromas. 17% Merlot provides a dollop of weight in the mid-palate while 80% Cabernet Sauvignon introduces a flood of fine mouth-coating tannin. The finish is lengthened by the 3% Petit Verdot to provide a long and soft finish of berry and espresso. This classic Cabernet-based blend will blow your mind in its youth and age gracefully for decades to come. (450 cases produced) 2013 96 pts Robert Parker

Crisp and vibrant with a touch of richness. 192 cases produced.

Pulse optimizes the vintage showing aromas of dried black cherries, currant, and sweet leather leading to a solid, rich middle core of black and red fruit tones. Concentrated mixed berries and rhubarb fill the palate complimented by a juicy and refreshing blend of earthy tannins, tobacco and currants lingering through a creamy seamless finish. Light shadings of chocolaty French oak tie these bold components together into a complex, powerful, but still approachable rendition of classic Cabernet Sauvignon from the highly regarded appellation of Rutherford.

92 to 94 Points / Previous Scores Robert Parker 95% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc Nose: Floral & seductive with intense tropical aromas of guava & passion fruit, hints of pear, pink grapefruit & orange blossoms, with a touch of spearmint laced throughout.
Palate: Round & soft, opulent with a broad oil texture & weight. Balanced beautifully with bright, zesty acidity and a stunning minerality, rarely seen in domestic white wines. Delicious guava & passion fruit flavors, along with nectarine and hints of Meyer lemon & orange citrus notes. Complex, yet beautifully balanced mouthfeel!
Finish: Rich & weighty, with excellent acidity & minerality. Complex, with notes of wet stone & slate. Wonderfully long- especially for a white wine! A 'Superior Food Wine' to be enjoyed!

Intense ruby red with splendid tones. Aromas of ripe blackberries and plums with a bit of Mediterranean underbrush. On the tongue , supple cherry flavors and hints of vanilla.

This wine, made in a classic Burgundian style, exhibits aromas of honey, stone fruit and notes of melon. Flavors of yellow peach, toasty bread crust and mineral notes are crisp on the palate. This wine is full bodied and ready to enjoy now, yet also has potential for aging in your cellar.

Chardonnay Charles Heintz Vineyard is pure and crystalline, with notes of saline, spring honey, roasted almonds and graphite on the nose over a core of ripe golden apples and quince. The palate is medium-bodied and lively, offering ripe flavors with loads of mineral nuances and bright acidity, and it finishes long and uplifted. 215 cases were made. 96 Points Wine Advocate

Mystery Bottle of Wine. So Mysterious

Pale ruby in color, the Vineyard has lovely layers of wild cherries, mixed tea leaves, woodsmoke, tobacco leaves and earth on the nose, with a medium-bodied, silky, fresh frame and a delicate, spicy finish. This vintage is a delicate, perfumed expression. 150cases were made. 94 points Wine Advocate

This shows an intense character of rose petal and green tobacco leaf with plums. Full-bodied and chewy with lots of ripe tannins and an intense finish. Dense and layered. Wild, funky and stylish. Decant two hours before serving. Fascinating Barolo.
