This Cabernet-dominate wine was designed to be a Bordeaux blend with pure Napa Valley pedigree. Utilizing vineyards such as Sunshine Valley Vineyard, we created a dense wine that has more diversity in its profile. We consider our Proprietary Red the intellectual offering of our current releases.
When our winemaking team has complete control over our vineyard blocks, magic happens in the cellar. Blending for ripeness and structure, four properties lent a hand to the cause here. Just enough cooler-climate fruit adds sophistication and style to our Napa Cabernet bombshell. Black fruits, blueberries, allspice, subtle oak toast and a long, luxurious finish define one of our signature bottlings.
Our Chardonnay is as low-impact as they come in the cellar, naturally fermented, unfined, unfiltered and barely touched during its evolution. Six different clones add their own unique flavor harmonies, and we achieve further precision and balance by an 18-month sur-lie aging process in French oak. The result is an elegant yet opulent Chardonnay that calls to mind a classic Meursault with a California suntan.
Made exclusively in stainless steel tanks, this is the Chablis of our Chardonnay lineup. Fresh aromas of green apple and pear are followed by a crisp and clean palate sensation with a strong backbone of acidity. Wine Club Members who have attended our Lobster Feasts know this is the perfect pairing for shellfish.
