Our Wines
White
2021 Roussanne - 14.8% alc, 53 cases produced
French in character, emphasizing an oily palate with lemon and honeysuckle aromas.

Bronze Medal - 2023 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
2022 Torrontes Riojano - 13.1% alc, 55 cases produced
A northern Spanish white grape which we sourced from Galt (within the Lodi appellation). Related to Malvasia, this wine falls between Muscat and Sauvignon Blanc aromatically.
$22 / bottle
Rose
2022 Grenache Rose - 13.7% alc, 64 cases produced
Our first rose. Made like a red wine- fermented on the skins until pressing and barrel aged for 10 months. No residual sugar. Displays kiwi and watermelon with a soft, food-friendly finish.
$22 / bottle
Red
2017 Tempranillo – 13.6% alc, 50 cases produced
Medium violet in color. This Spanish red features a spicy nose with graham cracker, raw meat, and copper penny. Low acidity with moderate, tensile tannins.
$28 / bottle
Silver Medal - 2021 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competitio
2018 Maribor Reserve Red Wine - 15.3% alc, 50 cases produced
A blend of 40% Wegat Zin, 20% Mohr-Fry Zin, and 40% Petite Sirah. Truly a wine different than a sum of its parts. Hedonistic aromatics include puréed blackberry, gamey meats, and French oak notes. Juicy and extracted with round, front-to-back tannins, this wine finishes fleshy and impeccably balanced.
$34 / bottle
Silver Medal - 2022 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
2019 Malbec - 12.0% alc, 75 cases produced
Bright red fruit and fresh red meat with a spicy cinnamon component, offering an acidic structure which will pair well with a variety of continental foods.
$28 / bottle
2019 Graciano - 13.1% alc, 57 cases produced
This dark wine offers pancetta, smoky oak, and graham cracker aromatics. It is well-structured and will reward aging.
$28 / bottle
Silver Medal - 2023 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
2019 Teroldego - 14.1% alc, 57 cases produced
A saturated, inky color introduces this deep wine featuring brownies, brown sugar, baking spices, and French oak hints. On the palate, dense, fat tannins, yet balanced overall.
$28 / bottle
Silver Medal - 2023 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
2021 Pinotage - 14.8% alc, 50 cases produced
Goes back and forth whether it emphasizes its Pinot Noir or Rhone parentages. Light-bodied and easy drinking.
$28 / bottle
Gold Medal - 2023 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
2021 Tempranillo - 14.6% alc, 75 cases produced
Our second Tempranillo, from a different vineyard source than the 2017 vintage (still within the Lodi appellation). Aromatics of fennel resemble marinara-covered Italian sausage, with a fleshy palate.
$28 / bottle
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon - 15.3% alc, 39 cases produced
The first Cabernet Sauvignon we have produced. Youthful aromatics of cranberry, spearmint, and muted French oak give way to barely resolving tannins and baby fat. Supported on a balanced palate, this young Cabernet can age 5-10 years.
$28 / bottle
