2021 Teroldego, Heringer Estates, Yolo County

With a dark red hue interlaced with hints of dark purple and indigo, the wine opens up with alluring aromas of ripe berries, freshly baked blueberry tart, black licorice, dark chocolate, earth tones, cinnamon and incense. On the palate, the flavors expand with generous notes of ripe blackberry, huckleberry, fresh cassis, bittersweet chocolate nibs, roasted walnuts and layers of spice. On top of that, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel, firm structure, smooth tannins, and a long, gracious finish. The end result is a brilliant wine with a perfect balance of power, composure and finesse without being too sweet or cloying—all inside one bottle!

2017 Pinot Noir,  Wohler Vineyard

The 2018 Perinotto Zinfandel presents with alluring aromas of toffee, dried plum and tobacco. Full flavors of dried raspberries, ripe cherries and fruit forward like a blackberry pie without the sweetness. A generous finish with smooth as silk tannins that will age beautifully.

2018 Zinfandel, Chalk Hill, Perinotto Vineyard

The 2019 TADDEI Block, Unoaked Chardonnay, is vinified from 100% Rued Clone from the TADDEI Block vineyard, located on Old Vine School Road in the Russian River Valley AVA. Situated in one of the most prestigious Chardonnay growing areas in the world, the vineyard is planted in Goldrich loamy soils, a chalky, sandy soil that drains easily.  Our Chardonnay was barrel aged for almost two years on the lees and aged in 100% Oak Barrels.  Our Rued clone Chardonnay brings elegance and breadth to the palate. Expressing almond, flint, and butterscotch on the nose with a palate comprised of pear and jasmine, apricots and citrus zest, mingled with an elegant balance of freshness, and a hint of toasted brioche on the finish.
