We blended Pommard and Calera clones from the vineyard to make this fantastic Russian River offering. Bright, fresh raspberry and cherry pie flavors play a central role with a vanilla and tobacco finish backing it up. Aged for one year in neutral oak barrels, this Pinot is mouthwateringly juicy and ready to enjoy!

Our 2015 Syrah comes from one of our favorite spots in all of Dry Creek Valley - Famighetti Vineyard. Mark and Sheila Farmer, along with their vineyard dog Elsa, farm a small benchtop of these syrah vines almost 1,000 feet high above the valley floor. Syrah is a popular food wine, and you’ll love the versatility of our 2015 vintage.

Our 2015 Famighetti Vineyard Viognier is the new name for one of our long-standing vineyard sources...They have continued the high quality level of farming we have come to know and love from this steeply terraced vineyard in the warm hills of Dry Creek Valley AVA.

A classic Viognier marked by powerful floral aromatics punctuated with aromas of white peach, lime zest, and wet stone. The orchard fruit continues through to the palate, where a voluptuous mouth feel accentuates flavors of both yellow and white peaches...

90 points - "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Bavarian Lion Vineyard ... showing notes of licorice, graphite, blackcurrants and spice. The wood is used judiciously, the wine full-bodied, rich, ripe and capable of aging for a good 10-15+ years, even though it has a certain accessibility...

Semillon is a unique wine varietal capable of many different expressions depending on the soil, climate and winemaker’s vision. When grown in the deep, rocky volcanic soils and warm climate of the Bavarian Lion Vineyard, it yields ripe, balanced flavors and a rich texture that sets it apart... 

Culled entirely from a historic site in the heart of Rutherford, this is a deliciously fruity Cab. A perfect gateway to all that Napa Valley has to offer, this wine offers up wonderfully delicate bouquet of fresh berry bramble as well as vanilla bean and just a hint of mint...

The 2012 edition of this wine has a deep ruby color with a garnet rim, and fills the glass with enchanting aromas of cherry, red currant, raspberry, dried herbs, and vanilla bean. The fruit forward palate is lighter compared with previous vintages...

"A wonderful, spicy, hazelnut-infused note gives the ripe dark berry and currant flavors some charm. This is full-bodied, with thick tannins and plenty of spicy details. Drink now through 2018." – Wine Spectator
