Wine Enthusiast 'Best Buy' | The Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc is 100% estate grown. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to capture the inherent characteristics of the varietal, this wine is crisp and bright throughout. Aromas of passion fruit, and citrus zest lead into vibrant tropical fruit and melon flavors on the palate with a lingering mineral finish.
This Riesling has a delightfully bright combination of crisp Golden Delicious apples, lemon zest, and nectarine. The full round finish displays fragrant notes of citrus blossom, honeysuckle with jasmine tea and honey on the smooth finish. Pair with spicy foods for a delightful contrast.
90 pts Wine Enthusiast | Our Chardonnay expresses aromas of apple and pear with hints of citrus blossom. The pallet, with its bright acidity, expresses more citrus notes with hints of freshly buttered toast for a refine, yet refreshing finish
90 pts Wine Enthusiast | Our Cabernet Sauvignon is deep and inviting. Dark red in color, it begins with mouthwatering aromas of black cherry, anise, violet and cassis. The palate is plush and well-structured showing notes of red fruits, dark plum and a touch of nutmeg. The palate’s firm structure and polished tannins are complemented by lingering hints of vanilla on the finish.
Our Reserve Pinot Noir presents beautiful high flavor concentration with aromas of red cherry, plum and earth, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. The palate shows ripe fruit flavors of cherry, raspberry and cranberry with a hint of black tea. The flavors are neatly tied up by a balanced acidity and barrel spice on the lingering finish.
The Merlot for this wine comes from several vineyard blocks on our estate, each with a unique soil structure, trellising style and microclimate. It is this diversity that allows us to create a more compelling final blend. Aromas of cherry, red currant, licorice and smokey oak waft from the glass and are met by soft tannins and a lush texture on the palate.
