The Redwood Hill Chardonnay displays a beautiful vanilla aroma from the French oak and a yeastiness from sur lees aging. I think of the Redwood Hill as a sipping wine, refreshing and elegant all in wine. Read the complete winemaker notes.

In the past this Cabernet Franc has been used to blend into our Alliage however the 2005 vintage deserved a bottling of its own.  The aroma has intriguing hints of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla.  The palate is velvety and dense with rich berry fruit shining through a smoky finish.  If you wish to enjoy this wine in its youth we suggest you let it breathe or decant before drinking. 

The Signature is comprised primarily of Cerro Prieto Cabernet with a splash of Chelle Mountain. It is aged in mostly new French oak, giving the wine a sweet vanilla aroma with toast levels enhancing a spicy cinnamon quality that is a perfect compliment to the berry medley on the nose.

This is a lighter style of Cabernet with a strong tannic backbone. The nose reminds me of walking through the redwoods the morning after a rain - mushrooms, an earthy forest floor aroma, but with a certain freshness. Read the complete winemaker notes.

The palate is rich and jammy, but the high alcohol and bold tannins belie this wine's youth. The finish on the wine lingers making it very approachable now, so try pairing this wine with your richest, heartiest meals as it can stand up to almost any food. Read the complete winemaker notes.

    John Crossland has gained much success growing and managing grapes in Paso Robles.  He has worked for many renowned grape growers in Napa has been very involved in the California wine industry.  Currently John manages thousands of acres in Paso but has taken particular pride in a vineyard he partners with on the East side of Paso Robles.   The vineyard is located near his home by the dry bed of the Estella River with the vineyard full of loamy soil and a wild grass field aroma.  
     We have purchased these grapes in the past which have been used for our Alliage blend.  The 2006 vintage gave us extra tonnage so we have decided to use them for a vineyard designated debut.  The fruit on the nose sits tight with blueberries and fig.  Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in Paso Robles tend to produce big robust wines but this wine is quite the opposite with smooth soft tannins and a long finish.  This wine will keep up to 5 years be can still be enjoyed today.

You will be amazed by the power of intense fruit on the nose; well focused, yet continually evolving in your glass.  Flavors of cassis fruit with a slight hint of ginger and nutmeg make Messina Merlot an age-worthy wine.  Cellar this wine for some time to come.  Read the complete winemaker notes.

At first sip you are struck by a symphony of earth and fruit with a velvety mouth feel.  Being so young, the wine has a dry tannic finish that will mellow over time. Enjoy this Zinfandel with everything from barbecue to chocolate.  Read the complete  winemaker notes.

The term Saignee refers to the winemakering process of "bleeding off" a portion of juice after only a very short period of contact with the grape skins.  The brief skin contact porduces a lovely pink color and the resulting rose wine.  Served slightly chilled this wine makes a perfect summertime sipper. This Pinot Noir rose has a beautiful strawberry nose, with a hint of rose.
