New Releases

We began releasing new vintages of our wines for your tasting enjoyment and purchase last weekend and added a new one this week:

2018 Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful version of Cabernet Sauvignon in the Bordeaux style with great aroma, varietal character, balance and finish.
$28 per bottle. 

2020 Albariño

The 2020 Albariño was produced in a special concrete egg fermenter which offers unique features during fermentation to aid in preserving aroma, flavor and minerality in the wine. This wine is the perfect pairing partner with shellfish and spicy foods.
$21 per bottle. 

2016 Mélange

Our 2016 Mélange, our premier Bordeaux Blend, is a blend of five estate grown Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon 47%, Merlot 25%, Cabernet Franc 21%, Malbec 4% and Petit Verdot 3%. The 2016 blend is similar to a Left Bank Bordeaux wine forming a lush expression of favors and aromas with great structure. It has a deep garnet color, black cherry and raspberry flavors, complex tannins and a lingering finish. It is very drinkable now but will continue to improve for the next ten plus years. 
$28 per bottle.
