“Very approachable. Soft tannins with red
fruit and herbs on the front with a
balanced spice and oak throughout. Very drinkable.”
We work on our farm, cultivating vineyards planted by my
“With small additions of Cabernet Sauvignon and
Cabernet Franc, this savory, well-made wine is robust in dried herb,
tobacco, tar and earth, with notes of
sage beckoning in the background...”
Jeb Dunnuck“Another wine with a
Bordeaux vibe, the deep ruby/purple-hued 2018 Merlot Sonoma Valley
o�ers up a juicy, medium-bodied, nicely
balanced style as well as ample black cherry,
currants, cedary oak, and leafy herb aromas and
flavors.”

Vinepair“This awesome, meaty
Cab smells like blackber-ries, cloves, and spiced
meat. It’s still aging and needs another year to
shed some green tannin vibes, but it’s still drinking
well now and calls for a stinky cheese plate or a
big ol 'steak.”

Jeb Dunnuck“The 2019 Chardonnay
is a solid, attractive e�ort o�ering plenty of melon and tart citrus
fruits to go with a medium-bodied, spicy, mineral-laced style on
the palate. It's balanced, light on its feet, and
should keep for 3-4 years.”
Jeb Dunnuck“Based on Merlot and
Cabernet Sauvignon, the ruby/purple-hued 2019
Red Wine Sonoma County gives up a juicy,
lively style reminiscent of Bordeaux with its red and black currants, tobacco leaf, and cedar aromas
and flavors. With beautiful fruit,
medium-bodied richness, and silky tannins, it's an undeniably delicious red to enjoy over the coming
decade or more.”
“This wine smells like minerals and honey, with a smack of pear and some apricot for good measure. This wine is awesome. The
balance on the palate is ridiculous, with some grip and give from the wild and crazy acidity.”
Jeb Dunnuck“More pure crème de cassis, tobacco, sappy herbs, and cedar notes
emerge from the 2018...a medium-bodied,
beautifully balanced, and elegant Cabernet.
...already drinking nicely, yet I have no doubt it will
evolve for 10-12 years, if not longer.”
Jeb Dunnuck“...layered, yet seamless profile...it doesn't lack
for tannin or structure, yet it's beautifully
balanced and has an awesome finish. This is an incredibly classic, old-school Cabernet
Sauvignon that's going to hit maturity around age 6-8 and cruise for two decades or more.”
James Suckling“...a deep thread of
ripe blackberries and plums, as well as
mulberries. The oak adds plenty of sweet spice and the tannins are very well groomed
...Drink or hold.”
