"Notes of pear, fig and tangerine mark the nose of the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Parcel 3. It's an easy-drinking, harmonious Sauv Blanc, medium-bodied, with a silky texture and ample length on the finish." -Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate
This Rose, the beautiful pale pink of a summer sunset, greets the taster with a perfume of honeydew and bubblegum. The palate is juicy and expressive tasting of strawberries and apricot, finishing with the clean minerality of slate.

"The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc 1897 Reserve features fully ripe aromas of melons and figs on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is round, lush and expansive but with sufficient acid to hold the wine together on the long, harmonious finish. Nicely done."
"This estate wine is barrel-fermented and aged 24 months in 40% new French oak. Soft and silky black cherry, chocolate and baking spices buoyed by elongated tannins. The warm alcohol is balanced by vibrant fruit and lifted savoury sagebrush tones from nearby mountain garrigue."
The nose is savory and nutty complemented by notes of dried figs and brandy cherries. The flavors are reminiscent of dried apricot and Brazil nuts with subtle leather and white pepper notes, followed by a soft decadent finish.
Fresh aromas of juniper and sage unfold to smoked jerky and cassis; the palate is dark and juicy supported by fresh cigar and toffee flavors; followed by dusty cocoa powder & tight structure on a clean, focused finish.
Dark and savory this wine is complemented by juicy black cherries and subtle leather aromas, it is bright and voluptuous with warm baking spice and cedar character and a steady finish exuding ripe tannins.
Aromas of fresh black plums, black pepper jerky, and violet entice you to taste this big, juicy, mouth coating wine and revel in flavors of black currant and cedar, braced by subtle graphite; on the finish you find fine, dense tannins and fresh wild mushroom undertones. One of my favorites!
