Every year this wine boasts a floral and fruity nose full of orange and jasmine blossoms that compliment juicy meyer lemons and plump kumquats. The nose and palate are tied togehter with a pleasant minerality that highlights this wine's prefectly present acid. It hits the tongue with plush sweet marshmallows and orange creamsicles that round the palate and leave you ready for more!

Our 2022 Grenache Rosé has aromas on the nose of wet stone, stone fruits (nectarine), lemon, jasmine and other fresh cut spring blossoms. The flavors on the pallet are creamy strawberry ice cream, lemon zest and pith with hard candies texture - also a soft and creamy entry with a bright acidic structure throughout. We've had feedback that this Rosé is our best ever!

The 2020 Collection GSM has the perfect balance of sweet to savory aromas like black tea with graham crackers or pepper jelly over your favorite cheese. The palate is silky with a light acid and lifted earthy tones of shishito peppers and herb stuffed sausages. 

The Cabernet Franc tends to be a staff favorite and the 2020 has done it again with sweet mouth-watering aromas of raspberries and creams topped with a single plump maraschino cherry. A light acid lifts the pallet and carries the bright red fruits across the tongue while notes of dried sage and minerals compliment soft, chalky tannins. 

The 2019 Tempranillo Balboa is a 100% varietal and comes from the estate of the Sea Shell vineyard. Deep ruby/plum - hued, with lots of spiced red and black fruits as well as spicy oak, it's medium to full - bodied and has a well - balanced, elegant texture, good tannins, and a dry, structured finish. There's a touch of rusticity here, yet it plays nicely in the style and is a delicious, satisfying red.

The 2020 Mourvèdre has lush aromas of crushed black pepper, dried thyme, and perfectly rare red meat. On the pallet it expresses notes of root beer and roasted pork loin and an approachable structure with a soft acid.

The 2020 Low Tide boasts a richness much darker than previous vintages. It's deep and solid hue alone convinces us of this. The nose gives off concentrated aromas of respberry and black cherries with a hint of vanilla. On the palate the tongue is blanketed by the broad structured Cabernet tannins. Toasty oak, baker's chocolate and more vanilla soften the tannins for a rounded and delicious sip of Cabernet Sauvignon.

This boisterous Cabernet Sauvignon has rich aromas of candied cherries, balsamic glaze, and blueberry compote. The sweet aromas are balanced out by its weighted but soft palate showing hints of bay leaf and grilled peppers.

Ample darker berry fruits, cracked black pepper, and bouquet garni notes all emerge from the 2019 Syrah Reserve, another medium full-bodied, textured, moderately tannic red!
