Here’s a Nebbiolo blend etched by an extinct volcanic terroir of red-brown porphyritic sand. The addition of the varieties Croatina and Vespolina add resonance and spice to the wonder that is Nebbiolo, while the volcanic soils and more northerly latitude give wines of a particular elegance, perfume, and refreshment compared with the more powerful Nebbiolo from Barolo.

The grapes received a short overnight soak on skins and then went directly to the press. Juice was transferred to neutral barrels and fermentation occurred spontaneously. The wine received a bit of sulfur in the late spring and again at bottling. The wine has a nutty, wet stone nose, and a weighty palate of lemon oil, crushed rocks, with just a bit of pastry cream.

Freedom Hill consistently delivers intense smoky, black fruit and brown spice aromas with just a hint of violet. Palate is medium weight with round, ripe tannins leading to a savory pit cherry, blackberry finish. Lots of power, but never lacking in finesse. Fermentation is done with ambient yeasts and then aged for 15 months in barrel, all French oak with 40% new oak.

Warm, earthy spice notes make their way into the nose of this Pinot Noir. It exhibits fruit-forward characteristics of blackberry, cherry, and cranberry. The wine boasts big fruit flavors along with bright acidity and a smooth, silky finish. This wine is a classic Russian River Pinot in character and can be paired with a wide variety of dishes.

This wine is delightfully exotic and intensely fruity, with ripe, juicy pineapple, guava and minerality. Pure, clean, and focused, it gains depth and dimension on the mid-palate, yet has an elegant and persistent finish. 25% new French oak for 11 months.

Seductive, intriguing, and vibrant—this Malbec is unlike any other. Aromas of lavender and violets dance from the glass; while the palate is dominated by freshly picked berry fruit. There is an elegance and freshness here, with a subtle white pepper note that slowly reveals itself in the finish.

From Gembres Vineyard, the bodega’s highest altitude, (650m) planted in 1986 and Manzanera Vineyard (490m) planted first in 1975. Only produced in exceptional years, this Gran Reserva is light ruby in the glass, powerful and compact with complex notes of sweet red fruits, balsamic, soy, vanilla and earth. Full bodied, direct and very long on the finish. Can lay down for years or be enjoyed now!

This is a fresh and aromatic vino tinto with notes of spice, smoky minerals, and dark fruits – to pair with roasted meats, spicy foods & wild game. The parcels are very old and planted right on the Atlantic Ocean. the vines grow untrained, the soil is worked by hand, and no chemicals are used. The wine is wild yeast fermented with 30% whole grape clusters.

The nose is somehow organic, mixing aromas of dried roses, decayed wild strawberries, raspberries and a hint of leaves; it is a little musky, cleaner than previous vintage with some earthy aromas that are focused and precise. The palate is light to medium-bodied with moderate acidity, but the wine is still fresh. Ideal with white meat, charcuterie and lighter food.

An "Orange Wine" meaning the juice has extended skin contact. This is unusual for a white wine, but adds serious texture, depth and complexity. Wild aromatics and tropical fruit with a dry powerful finish. Absolutely amazing.

The 2012 Syrah Verna's Vineyard is a wine that makes its case with superb balance and harmony rather than through sheer power. Supple, forward and absolutely delicious, the 2012 has it all going today. Dark red and bluish stone fruit, spice, mint and lavender add nuance in a forward Syrah to drink over the next handful of years. Chad Melville got the most out of Verna's in 2012

Brilliant ruby in color, with a captivating perfume of dark cherry, blueberry, sandalwood, and Asian five spice. Deeply complex flavors of cocoa and cherry are layered with savory notes of star anise and chai tea spice. Vibrant acidity is balanced by smooth, finely-textured tannins and a creamy mouth feel, lingering with great finesse on the lengthy finish.
