We made this sparkler in the French 'methode champenoise' style. Aged for four years in our cellar, it is bone dry, as the natural fruit of the Chardonnay grape renders a dash of sweetness. Add a steely earthy middle, it finishes with a hint of nuts. You would be wise to buy a few extra bottles as it will last another five years.
Vivid, dark ruby red color. The nose is intense and complex, hints of oak, vanilla and mocha with dense black and blueberry fruit. It is an elegant, full body wine that has a soft, balanced texture with just the right amount of grip. Focused and polished, it is a premier example of an Alexander Valley, Bordeaux style wine. This wine finishes long and smooth with an intense showing of fruit and spice.
This one expresses its mountain origin with intense color, flavors, and bountiful tannins. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, blueberry, and currant meet abundant tannins, adding structure. The wine finishes with baking spice, cedar, and oak. This one will unfold into even more complexity with maturity.
The grapes for our Pinot Noir come from the prestigious Sangiacomo Vineyards that lie within the Sonoma Coast region. In the glass, this wine shows off its crystal garnet color with aromas of ripe black cherries, pomegranate, and rose petals. Well-balanced, supple tannins dance across the palate accentuating this wines deep fruit and spices. Flavors of pomegranate, wild strawberry, cola, and clove spice follow the tannins and acidity through to the long, elegant finish.
Bright and very light pink color with a hint of gold. Subtle nose of fresh butter, brioche, and strawberry sorbet. The mousse and bubbles are fine and chiseled, erupting in the glass. On the palate, gentle return of strawberry and light brioche notes are accompanied by a zest of citrus.

This very unique wine was made without any additional malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks to retain its freshness then bottled in early 2011 in order to capture the bright aromas of apricots, peaches, stone-fruits and orange blossoms. This wine was modeled after the great Vouvray from Loire, France. The texture is light and refreshing with flavors of white peach, ripe pears and honey.
