2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley Estate Grown
2003 marks the first vintage that our Cabernet Sauvignon is estate grown. By blending wine from our Yountville vineyard with small amounts from our Rutherford and Calistoga vineyar ... moreds, which are all farmed organically, we create a complex Cabernet Sauvignon with a distinctive personality. The result is a dark, muscular wine with intriguing aromas of licorice, cedar and blackberries with a hint of earthy truffles. Wonderfully drinkable upon release, the wine’s firm tannin structure promises it will benefit from aging.

2002 Yountville Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
Our prestigious Yountville Selection comes from the oldest vines in the vineyard, planted in 1959, which yield a meager two tons an acre. Deeply rooted in rocky soil, these vines p ... moreroduce small berries in loose clusters that are packed with intense flavors. We dry farm and organically grow the grapes to preserve those wonderful flavors in the wine. Almost dark as ink with earthy aromas of truffle, leather and blackcurrant, the wine has a chocolate and coffee finish with layers of texture.

2004 Zinfandel
Napa Valley Estate Grown
This darkly colored wine almost glows in the glass with lively flavors and aromas of strawberries, raspberries, with a touch of forest floor and leather. We also grow a bit of Peti ... morete Sirah at this vineyard, which we co-fermented with the Zinfandel to add even more spice and body. This elegant wine has a wonderful texture and is well balanced between acidity and alcohol. Enjoy with grilled meats, pizza and pastas.
