2024 Kerner, Lodi | $34
The Mokelumne Glen Vineyard in Lodi, located in close proximity to the cool river, is the only source of the rare Kerner grape in California. The Mokelumne River AVA has vineyard sites dating back as far as 1886, consisting mainly of gnarly head-trained Zinfandel vines. Here lies a vineyard with an array of rare Germanic varieties. The soils in this area are Tokay sandy loam- a deep, fertile yet porous soil structure, slightly alkaline, consisting of finely crushed granite accumulated over millions of years of run-off from the Sierra Nevada mountains. This helps maintain vibrant acidity in grapes cultivated in a Mediterranean setting.
2022 PINOT NOIR, SONOMA COAST | $60
This vintage of our Pinot Noir comes from Spring Hill Vineyard, located on the western edge of Petaluma, within the Sonoma Coast AVA.
On the nose, aromas of raspberries, black tea, and floral notes, lead to deeper, earthy tones. On the palate, vibrant red fruits and a touch of minerality are complemented by vibrant acidity, elegant structure and beautiful clarity. This vintage will age gracefully in the years to come.
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Coombsville | $85
The 2022 growing season brought moderate temperatures, with bud break occurring a little earlier than normal and ideal conditions for a good fruit set. In early September, Napa Valley experienced an extended heat wave that was challenging for many appellations, but Coombsville’s cooler climate saw less intense heat and higher quality fruit production.
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon displays aromas of ripe currant, fresh pomegranate, with hints of allspice and a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate, flavors of black cherry and dark plum are framed with elegant tannins and a vibrant finish. This wine is a wonderful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from a cooler appellation in a warmer vintage.
