Rated as one of the seven best wines from the Rutherford AVA by the Robb Report, the 2021 vintage of the Alice Block produced a big and bold yet elegant wine. It is garnet to inky purple colored with aromas of blue fruits, black raspberry, pencil lead, and cinnamon. With velvety tannins and flavors of dried cherry, crushed violet leaves, and black cherry.

The 2020 Napa Valley Silver Dollar Vineyard Petite Sirah is deep and intense, yet extremely well-balanced and approachable. It is powerful and inky in its youth and will become more refined with age. Complex aromas of blackberry, leather and chocolate flow into a palate that is blackberry dominant along with black cherry, graphite, cocoa, tar, spice and full tannins on the long, seemingly endless finish. Stored properly, this wine will age for a long time!

The 2021 Charbono has aromas of black fruits, cocoa, and currants and graphite. On the Palate, it starts off super bright, but with a little time in your glass, quickly becomes a dark and full-bodied wine with rich layers of dark fruits, cocoa, graphite, and a natural acidity that ends in a long finish with super fine tannins. It is a mouthful of wine without the big tannins, is beautifully balanced, and can be paired with a wide variety of food. 

Every few years I talk my friend and mentor, Gary Galleron, into collaborating on a wine that deserves the Galleron name. A blend of Merlot, Syrah, and Petite Sirah. It is a massive wine with a deep purple color that has tons of black fruits, graphite, tobacco and exotic spices, an elegant mid pallet and ends with a long finish with firm tannins.

The Mallard vineyard sits high above the city of Sonoma, and our Fiftyrow En Vie is the first wine bottled from this vineyard. An elegant Cabernet that has a ton of dark fruit and vibrant cherry on the mid-palate and ends with a long mocha finish with very fine tannins.
