2024 Kerner, Lodi | $32 Coming spring 2025!
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 | $65
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.
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Coombsville | $85
The 2021 growing season began with a dry winter, marking the second year of drought conditions in Napa Valley. The spring and summer saw very little rain but also balanced temperatures with minimal heat spikes. The vintage will be remembered as one of exceptional quality with lower yields and concentrated fruit. For Coombsville, a cooler AVA than most of Napa, the fruit quality was outstanding.
The nose has enticing aromas of fresh picked blackberries, with notes of sweet leather, sage and baking spice. On the palate there are flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, and hints of mocha. The wine leaves a lasting impression on the palate with supple tannins, bramble black fruits, and has lift and length from the bright acidity. A classic example of an exquisite Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon.
