WHITES
2023 Albariño
Tasting Notes: Pale straw in hue, this Spanish varietal exudes vibrant aromas of ripe citrus fruits, including lemon and grapefruit, alongside delicate hints of white flowers and subtle mineral nuances. Its crisp and refreshing profile, coupled with elevated acidity, makes it light to medium-bodied. On the palate, the citrus notes persist, complemented by a subtle salinity and a pleasing bitterness that contributes depth and complexity. The wine culminates in a long and lingering finish. Exhibiting the quintessential traits of the Albariño grape, it strikes a harmonious balance and exudes elegance. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, shellfish, and light fare.
2024 Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes: The delightful fragrance of tropical fruits, particularly passion fruit, emanates from this wine. It offers a refreshing palate with intricate layers of complexity, vibrant acidity, and a finish highlighted by the interplay of lemon, lime, and minerality. Remarkably crisp with a lingering aftertaste, this wine is a perfect match for light summer fare, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh crudité platter.
REDS
2021 Her Majesty (Red Blend)
Tasting Notes: This exquisite cuvée unfolds with a seamless harmony of ripe, luscious fruit, bittersweet cocoa, and warm spice. Full-bodied and commanding, it is framed by bold, gripping tannins and lively acidity that breathe life into every sip. Layers of concentrated red and black cherries cascade across the palate, building toward a rich, velvety finish that lingers with satisfying depth. With its elegant balance and structured power, this wine is destined to evolve gracefully with age.
2021 Petite Sirah
Tasting Notes: Our Petite Sirah greets the senses with rich aromas of blackberry, vanilla, and earthy wet clay. The wine is fruit-forward, showcasing ripe plum and dark Bing cherry, underpinned by a robust tannic structure. The finish is long and memorable, with lingering notes of cocoa and espresso. Characterized by Petite Sirah's signature lively acidity and smooth finish, this bold wine pairs beautifully with equally bold dishes like short ribs or roasted duck with plum sauce.
