Our Wines

White

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.

$23 / bottle

2023 Grüner Veltliner - 14.1% alc, 57 cases produced

Partially fermented in neutral French oak and stainless steel barrels. This Austrian white grape produced a wine defined by stone fruit notes.

$23 / 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.

$23 / bottle

Red

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.

$29 / bottle

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.

$29 / bottle

2022 Old Vine Carignane / Nicolini Vineyard - 13.9% alc, 50 cases produced

From a small vineyard just south of Lodi planted in 1930. Medium-bodied but expressive with interesting traits including herbes de Provence.

$29 / bottle

2022 Petite Sirah - 14.5% alc, 62 cases produced

Chewy and tannic like a good Lodi Petite Sirah should be. Grown on West Woodbridge Road. Lots of new French oak in this wine.

$29 / bottle

2022 Old Vine Zinfandel / Wegat Vineyard - 16.0% alc, 50 cases produced

Verging on overripe, viscous but not sweet, and bursting with intense flavors and dark, extracted elements.

$29 / bottle
