The home Cabernet Franc vineyard, (planted in 1998) is beginning to produce some really wonderful Cabernet Franc. This 2012 is rich, dark, and opulent with a wonderful aroma and a nice long finish. This wine has a very rich mid palate and shows why Cabernet Franc from this area is destined to be a star.
Petite Sirah is a variety that has quickly shown exceptional quality from our site. This 100% estate wine is dark, bold and beautiful. Loaded with blue fruit and spice, the wine will also surprise with its balance and polish. As in the past, half of the fruit in this wine was dry farmed, meaning we don’t irrigate the vines, producing a wine that is concentrated and dense. Enjoy this wine now or age it for a few years to reveal more complexity.
This 2018 Barbera is made entirely from Nevada County fruit. A combination of the Indian Springs Vineyard in Penn Valley and some of our own estate fruit. Smooth, suave cherry pie is how I like to describe it. The wine is balanced with supple tannins and fresh finish. This wine is young and loaded with youthful exuberance. Pair this wine with a hearty pasta with red sauce or some homemade pizza.
This 2018 Cosmic Chardonnay is loaded with opulence and grace. Tropical fruit like pineapple and mango dance with graham cracker and marshmallow. This wine was fermented in 100 French oak, 25% of it new, giving it the warm toasty notes and richness that you have come to expect. A surprising smooth finish will leave you wanting another taste.
This DRY Riesling comes from a 30-year-old vineyard above Nevada City. A cool mountain location, the Schugren Vineyard promotes a very long hang time, as the fruit for this wine was picked near Halloween. Loaded with green apple and a fresh energy, this wine is a great pairing for spicy dishes like pad thai. Very limited production. Age this bottle and petrol notes will bloom.
Our 2018 Solstice is a wine that we have produced from the very beginning and is a staple in the tasting room. This new release is focused and full of energy.Made up of 75% stainless steel fermentation, this bottle is loaded with crisp and fresh flavors of grapefruit and honeydew. A combination of 50% estate fruit and 50% from the Indian Springs Vineyard, this wine gives a great sense of Nevada County terroir. 91 Points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
