Aromas and flavors of Meyer lemon, mandarin orange, and fresh guava are layered with wet stone minerality and subtle vanilla bean. The lush and creamy texture, intense weight and lively finish give this elegant Chardonnay is an ideal balance of freshness and sophistication, and make the 2013 vintage a classic example of the character of the old vines and ancient soils of this vineyard.
Aromas of allspice, jasmine and citrus burst from the glass. Luscious flavors of pink grapefruit, white nectarine, navel orange, lychee and starfruit are spiced with fresh ginger and coriander.
Over six generations, we have learned Cab loves Rhinefarm, and the feeling, of course, is mutual. Combine this invaluable experience with the glorious 2016 growing season, and we have another stellar example of cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma. Fresh blackberry and Bing cherry aromas are spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon bark with an underlying layer of earth and cedar. Medium-bodied and supple, yet richly flavored with fleshy dark plum and mocha supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity, this youthful, food-friendly Cab will develop beautifully over the next 8+ but has the finesse of the 2016 vintage for immediate enjoyment.
A serious yet easy-drinking red blend, loaded with lush black plum, blackberry, and creamy cocoa flavors, with accents of smoke and black tea. Juicy, creamy and round mouthfeel with soft tannins supporting generous fruit. The long finish is full of dense berries and mocha flavors. A rich, fruit-forward wine intended to be enjoyed within five years of vintage.
Aromas of fresh blueberries, dried rose petals and anise. Juicy flavors of black cherry, fleshy black plum & mixed berries with a touch of vanilla cream are infused with complex layers of espresso, black tea and earth. Eight distinct blocks of Pinot Noir harvested separately. 20% of the blend comes from 40+year-old Heritage Selections; 80% from Dijon clones 667 and 777.
Aromas of violets, blueberries and spice are followed by an elegant palate of blackberry, black cherry and mocha. Supple tannins add weight and a polished texture and lead to a bright, lush finish.
