2015 Mysteriama, California

• 97 Points, Best of Class, Sunset Magazine International Wine Competition

Every year our winemaker sets aside some of our favorite lots of old vine varietals and blends together a wine shrouded in “mystery”. While the varietals used in the blend change from year to year, we strive to recreate the same crowd-pleasing flavor profile with each new vintage. The aromas and palate showcase ripe raspberry, maraschino cherry, blackberry jam, and vanilla-tinged notes of oak. It’s as delicious as it sounds, and we hope that you agree it over delivers for its price!

2015 Mataro Old Vine, Contra Costa

Mataro (also known as Mouvedre) is grown in the Gonsalves’ vineyards in the eastern hills of Contra Costa and hand picked to hone in on mature and deeper flavor development on the vine. With vines dating back over 90 plus years, the mature vines produce low yields that are focused and concentrated in their flavors.

2015 Petite Sirah, Old Vine, Contra Costa

• 93 Points Wine Enthusiast

This is by no means elegant, its rather a massive hulking bruiser of a wine! In fact, this might be the most decadently textured dry red wine we’ve ever made. Which doesn’t surprise us.

2017 Zinfandel Old Vine, Mendocino

The 2017 Mendocino Zinfandel dishes up intense and inviting aromas of ripe strawberry and vanilla wafer. The palate is remarkably rich, yet also fresh, with scrumptious flavors of baked fig, strawberry pie, and Chinese five spice, that are lifted by gentle acidity. This round and generous wine is all too easy to drink!

2015 Zinfandel, El Dorado

"This is a big wine, full of smoky dark-fruit flavors and supported by firm tannins and a framework of spicy oak. It's nicely dry, has a gripping texture, very full body and complex flavor elements like black pepper, blackberries, beef jus and molasses." - 91 points, Wine Enthusiast, 7/18

2013 Merlot, Rutherford

The 2013 Merlot’s nose starts with beautiful blueberry and sweet cedar notes. Hints of vanilla, cigar box, and chocolate round out the aroma. The mouthfeel of the Merlot is smooth from start to finish. This wine exhibits the classic Rutherford dust composition and texture. Flavors of cherry liqueur, vanilla, and dark chocolate dominate the palate.

2014 Meritage, Napa Valley

• Gold Medal, SF Wine Chronicle Competition

The 2014 Meritage simmers from the glass with a harmonious bouquet of mulberry, black cherry, clove, and toasted graham cracker. The mouthwatering palate fans out for almost a minute with a kaleidoscope of rich blackberry, plum, blueberry, and raspberry that is lifted by refreshing acidity. The ripe berry medley trails off into a savory finish of tobacco and black licorice. This is a shining example of the range of flavors that can be achieved in a blend. It checks all the boxes, and everyone will find it hard to resist.

2017 Malbec, Yountville

• Less Than 10 Cases Left!

Now this is an intense wine! Soaring aromatics of ripe blueberries, blackberries, melted dark chocolate, and caramelized sugar erupt from the glass. The palate is brimming with blackberry, blueberry, and baking spice flavors that are carried by a super plush texture. While it might be hard to believe, this probably is the most intense vintage of this wine we have made.

2015 Petit Verdot, Napa Valley

The 2015 Petit Verdot is a towering goliath of a wine. The aromatics just scream from the glass, with lively scents of blackberry, black cherry, olive tapenade, and juniper. The palate continues the intensity with unrelenting flavors of dark berries and savory spices. This is a brooding, deep, and concentrated wine. Everything is carried forward with great harmony by balancing acidity and ripe tannins. This is one Petit Verdot you won’t forget!
