Notes of smoked meats, black and thimble berries give rise to anise, coffee, olive and herbs de Provence. This is a medium to full bodied Syrah which presents a more masculine side to Syrah as opposed to our estate blend. As the wine unfolds in the glass, aromatics evolve to highlight Asian five spice, white pepper and clove. The tannins in this wine are gripping and additional aging in bottle will improve integration.
Aromatics of strawberries, crushed roses, stone fruits, nectarine, and fresh herbs; marjoram and thyme. Bright coppery salmon in color. On the palate, strawberry fruit with a tangerine acidity. Very round texture with a nice mouth feel, this wine lingers on tongue, mid and back palate. Lasting raspberry finish.
Grenache’s thin skin and pale coloring makes its well suited for the production of full bodied, rosé wines. Grenache is the principal grape behind the rosés of Tavel and Lirac and its plays an important role in Provence as well.
Full bodied white wine blend with fruit and flower aromatics, so much going on with this wine! Aromas of apricot and yellow apple with a hint of vanilla. On the palate, non-aromatic sweet Meyer lemon, Asian apple, pear and an elegant stony minerality. Old world in style, full mouthfeel/luxurious texture with a hint of honeycomb on the lasting finish.
This Grenache Blanc offers aromatics of marizpan, yellow pear, Asian apple pear, thyme, freshly squeezed lemon ice tea, marzipan, gooseberry, grapefruit and chamomile. On the palate, the acidity is complemented by white tea, pear, Asian apple pear, cardamom seed, candied ginger, basil, mint, lemon grass and white peach.
Medium bodied with classic Viognier aromas; bright expressive gardenia, white flowers, apricot jam, peaches and nectarine additional aromas of fennel with a hint of anise. Palate confirms aromatics being rich, viscous and luscious predominated by honeysuckle, yellow apple and peaches. The acidity has a profound impact that helps balance the alcohol and restrains the richness and a crispness to the finish. Fennel notes moderate the stone fruit from being too prominent.
Full bodied white with aromatics of citrus blossoms, lime, lemon and orange. Brilliant golden in color. On the palate, ripe pears, warm spices with highlights of nutmeg and cinnamon (pear compote). Finishes with mango, tropical fruits with an acidity that keeps it fresh. Age worthy! In three to four years this wine will darken and present with more savory notes.
This full-bodied white wine offers aromas of fresh pineapple, honey, cantaloupe, yellow pears, citrus curd, apple skins, coconut and a hint pine forest. On the palate, there is an amazing complexity of grapefruit, citrus and pineapple. The finish is savory sweet with notes of vanilla, Key lime and nutmeg.
This Vin de Paille or "straw wine" is light and luscious in the mouth and is not an overly sweet dessert wine. It is extremely balanced in terms of acidity and exhibits aromatics of apple and honeysuckle and with juicy citrus marmalade over, honeysuckle and offers up a lasting juicy finish.
Medium bodied with distinct varietal character and definition that applies to both old and new world. Really “true” to Grenache. Tons of red berries- with raspberry and pomegranate stand outs, red flowers, tobacco, pine, Sarsaparilla and a little vanillin from new French oak. An age worthy Grenache Noir!
Purple flowers, lavender, lilac, blackberry, with coffee and cocoa. This medium bodied wine has a non-fruit character: earth, graphite, licorice and toasty smoky oak. Black fruits, raspberry and blueberries with red current and pomegranate. Really well-structured great balance between tannin and acidity. It’s like Merlot and Pinot Noir had a baby: Mourvèdre. Great food wine! Thinking dark berry salad, pulled pork smoky ribs, chill it down and it will be great. The acidity will complement the oiliness of any BBQ sauce. Drink now or age for two to seven years.
