This 2021 Dolcetto has a red brick hue. Primary aromas of tobacco, black pepper, and toasty oak fill the nose. Secondary aromas of potpourri, cranberry, and anise appear as the wine is consumed. This wine is full bodied with a vibrant acidity and big tannin structure.

A blend of three Northern Italian varietals, the 2019 La Vita has Refosco leading the way, followed by Nebbiolo and Dolcetto. Primary scents of cardamom, cinnamon, tobacco, and potpourri fill the nose. As the wine opens secondary scents of cranberry, currant, and red fruits begin to appear.  On the palate the wine has a bright acidity, creamy mid-palate, and a lasting savory finish.  The extended barrel aging of 30 months allows the wine to integrate and soften the overall mouthfeel.

This 2021 Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot comes from Regan Vineyards, our estate vineyard in Corralitos.  Dark fruit dominates the nose, with aromas of plum, blackberry, and black cherry.  Smoked meat and cocoa powder notes add to the complexity.  On the palate the fruit is ripe and rich, but not overripe or jammy.  This full bodied Merlot will only get better with time, as its rich tannins continue to soften. 

The 2021 Pinot Grigio from Santa Cruz Mountains is vibrant with notes of lemon rind, lemongrass, and orange rind.   Flavors of ripe, juicy stone fruits tango with vibrant citrusy notes on the palate.

This 2020 Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah from Nelson Vineyard is beautifully purple and inky in color.  It opens with aromas of black pepper, black licorice, and floral potpourri.  More subtle aromas of blueberry, blackberry, and baking spice follow as the wine opens up.  On the palate dark fruit and peppery spice flavors are married nicely with sweet and toasty oak.  Mouthfeel is plush and luxurious with soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish.
