A unique sparkling wine made from Erbaluce and aged in bottle for 18 to 36 months, all in the Champagne tradition. The soil underlying the Erbaluce vineyards was formed millions of years ago during the ice age and is essentially a glacial moraine of stone and silt. Approximately 2000 bottles of this hand-crafted spumante are produced annually.

Great white wines balance an exciting tension between refreshing crispness and a rich, silkiness on the palate, as this Oakville Fumé Blanc does with its zesty orange rind-lemon curd flavors, and an incredibly smooth mouth feel. The wonderful concentration and depth of flavors linger in a luxuriously long finish.

A delightful sparkling wine built exclusively from Chardonnay (younger vines of 20 years of age) harvested from parcels in the village of Serrieres on the border with Pierreclos. The vineyards are west facing and are planted to sandy soils. Only 6000 bottles are produced annually. Crisp lemon pith, and subtly toasty notes frame a mineral core with density and freshness.

Light golden color and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure.

Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruit as well as marzipan and gingerbread.

Flavored of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus frui, almonds, brioche and honey.

Gritty aromas of road tar and green herbs are offset by spicy black-fruit scents and a hint of root beer. This Cab Franc feels dense and chewy. Herbal plum and currant flavors include spicy oak notes. It tastes woody, minty and toasty on a full finish.

sourced from 50+ year old vines that produce rich and intensely flavored fruit. The resulting wine is big and bold with hallmark "old vine" velvety texture, spice and vibrant varietal flavors. Smooth, spicy and a delicious dusting of cocoa on the finish. Aromas of bright raspberry, blackberry, black pepper and smoky oak. The palate is bold with red raspberry, cherry, blackberry

This fantastic dry Gewurztraminer is from the makers of our favorite value Pinot Noir, Oregon's Brandborg. Its aromatics are classic Gewurz: rose petals, lychee, and hints of spice. It's rich and mouthfilling, but finishes clean. All of the exotic aromas and flavors are reigned in by a surprising amount of welcome acidity, making this a perfect partner for gently spiced food

An enticing cloud of cinnamon hovers over the perfectly ripe, red and black cherry fruit in this wine. It's easy, juicy and just a little luscious.

Heady aromas of citrus and orchard fruit almost jump out of the glass. The savory, medium-bodied palate tastes of ripe pear, mature apple and creamy peach interspersed with energizing mineral notes. Fresh acidity brightens the creamy flavor

"A perfumy, silky style, with lots of warm mulled spice and black tea notes leading the way for lightly macerated cherry and plum fruit. Sweet tapenade and tobacco details fill in on the finish, while a tug of iron imparts spine."

A rarity in this part of France-40 year old certified organic cabernet sauvignon (yes, I said cabernet sauvignon) from a region dominated by cabernet franc. An expression of cabernet sauvignon with an unmistakable Loire Valley flair. Dense and peppery with tons of dark fruit.

From vineyards near the village of Tonnerre to the north and east of Chablis. Clay and limestone soil. Average vine age 30 yrs old. Grapes are hand harvested, crushed, and left to macerate on the skins for a few hours only in order to take on a bit of color and fresh red fruit aromas. The wine's frisky acidity and crisp finish pair it well with raw oysters & shellfish.

Dark and ruby color, the wine opens to reveal expressive aromas of juicy blackberry, boysenberry, and bramble, along with notes of toasty vanilla and graham cracker. The full flavors are highlighted by a plush, velvety mouthfeel with a long finish. This California wine owes much of its complexity to its varied upbringing, featuring grapes harvested from Monterey, Santa Barbara and Sonoma Counties.
