Aromas of Golden Delicious apple and honeysuckle are balanced by hints of nutmeg, saline and white pepper. Subtle herbal tones of lemon verbena lend to a “nervy” edge of this wine that cuts through the palate. Flavours of apricot and mango round out the brighter tones of lime and other bright citrus.

Aromas of orange blossom and apricot are framed by a core of Meyer Lemon and sea spray. Warming elements of pineapple turnover cake and hints of caramel bring a richness that is fully realized in the elegant length of the finish.

Rich tones of black cherry, plum and lavender cream offset the savory qualities of smoked meat, graphite and dark caramel. Spices of black pepper and coriander give depth while apricot blossom and orange peel bring warming high tones.

Notes of French plums pair with black cherry and cola. Fresh river stones intertwine with menthol and bergamot tea. Smooth tannins bring structure but also a drinkability that draws you in for another sip.

Bright cherry color and intense nose of raspberries, sassafras, rose hip, clove and cinnamon, classic of the Russian River/Green Valley fruit. Well-balanced palate, with weight and length, and flavors reminiscent of pomegranate and orange peel. The ample tannins promise a long life. I would recommend serving this wine at cellar temperature, between 58-60° F.

Nice golden color and exuberant nose, with floral notes of apple blossoms, plus the classic green apple and some tropical hints of papaya. On the palate it is fresh and vibrant yet creamy and rich, with integrated oak and great balance. Delightful to drink right now but it will last for a long time. I would recommend serving it at 46°- 48° F.

Deep, ruby red center working its way to a brilliant edge in the glass. On the nose, notes of the cool Pacific air give way to wild strawberry, rose petals, wet stone and moss-covered trees. On the palate the wine is fresh, bright and structured with balanced acidity and fine-grained, youthful-tannins. The finish is persistent and fades to notes of raspberry, dried herbs and this coastal site lingering on your pallet.
