Distinctive aromas of baking chocolate, blackberry and plum mingle with earthy notes of leather and tobacco in this full-bodied expression of Petite Sirah. Robust flavors of prunes, blueberry and mocha are dominant here, with secondary flavors of blackberry pie, sweet baking spices, dark chocolate and cedar. This deep, dark beauty is best enjoyed with rich foods that can hold up to her bold fruity notes and complex tannins. Try a juicy venison steak, an earthy beet salad with goat cheese, or get adventurous and pair this with a hearty curry or a decadent chocolate lava cake.

This 2021 Paso Robles Mourvèdre offers aromas of violets, fresh thyme, ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with well-integrated, grippy tannins and flavors of spiced plum, blackcurrant, black olive, and hints of pepper. The extended neutral oak aging adds a silky texture, allowing the rich fruit and savory elements to shine, leading to a long, earthy finish with lingering notes of dark fruit and minerality.
This 2021 Reserve hails from Solomon Hills Vineyard, and you can really sense the maritime influence in this delicate expression of Pinot Noir. The body is light, with a bright vermillion shine, and the aroma is earthy with faint floral scents of roses, violets and freshly picked cherries. Flavors of ripe red raspberries and cherries are well defined, with secondary flavors of mushroom, vanilla and baking spice from the new French oak. Pair this elegant beauty with a mushroom risotto or a classic duck confit.
