2023 Texas Rosé Grenache| Mourvèdre
Dessert WillowVineyard inSeminole, Texas
The light salmon color is a bit deceiving. This luscious rosé exudes a bouquet of raspberries, tangerine and cantaloupe, the zest of a Meyer lemon and a hint of vanilla. Fruits shine on the palate while a noticeable acidity accents an exceptionally long finish.
Enjoy this lovely wine with a good friend and beautiful sunset.
2021 Effervescent Rosé
Grenache|Picpoul Blanc|Mourvèdre Paso Robles, California

petals and strawberries rise. A light fizz tickles the tongue. There is a hint of passion fruit here and a lovely clean finish. A wonderful apéritif for any gathering.
2022 Grenache Blanc | Picpoul Blanc | Viognier
PasoRobles,California
Clean lines of lemongrass and mineral show in the light hay-hued wine. On the nose you find aromas of Anjou pear, quince, green apple, Key lime and a touch of almond. This is an easy wine with balanced acidity that fancies Thai dishes
2022 Viognier
100%Viognier | PasoRobles,California
It’s everything a Viognier should be. Light, golden straw in color, it offers a dreamy nose of apricot, white peach, orange blossoms, honeydew melon and a tinge of hazelnut. Soft on the palate yet it tingles the gums. It shows proper viscosity with a refreshing, satisfying finish. It would go well with a spinach chicken curry or roast turkey or salmon.
2020 CDP
Côtes du Paso Grenache | Syrah | Mourvèdre|Tannat
Paso Robles, California
Ninety-two percent oak-aged, this garnet-colored wine renders up tart red cherries, smoke, tobacco leaf and cassis. Something in the glass made me think of Cherry Coke. The Tannat adds a bit of backbone. Soft tannins and well-integrated acidity show on the finish. A thinker’s wine to enjoy with a farmer’s board.
2021 Cuvée Alice Grenache | Syrah | Mourvèdre|Tannat
Like the CDP, Cuvée Alice hails from selected vines and blends the varietals at a different percentage The juice is noticeably aged in French Oak. A beautiful ruby hue greets the eye and a bold bouquet of black plum, black berries, red currents, anise, violets and dried tobacco grace the olfactory. Pronounced tannins and subtle minerality enliven the finish.
Served with Sopressa, perhaps on a pizza or braised ribs.
2021 Malbec |Cabernet Sauvignon
Paso Robles, California
Rich and full-bodied, it presents an almost black, purple cast.

2020 Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon | Petite Verdot | Malbec
Paso Robles, California
Deep, dark tones from the start, ruby hues and smells of sweet smoke appear upon approach.

Pair with mushroom risotto or a Wagyu ribeye.
2020 Ancestor
CabernetSauvignon| PetitVerdot|Malbec Paso Robles, California
This full-bodied blend of Bordeaux varieties exhibits opulent color and exquisite aromas of blackberry jam, sweet smoke, figs, cassis, ripe cherries, red currants and mocha. The softest of tannins feel round in the mouth as the wine lingers. A delicious companion to roasted lamb or wild game.
