Very tropical - Guava, Pineapple, Floral, juicy pear, fresh-cut apple, and fresh-cut melon. Grown in the cold left edge of Sonoma County in ancient Redwood Forest and old Apple Orchards, this is a lovely vineyard tucked up next to the Dutton Shop and is appropriately called the Shop Block - what else? It is the Musque clone of the Sauvignon Blanc grape and tends towards floral and guava aromas year after year. ONLY 373 cases were made.

Our vineyard sits on top of a very steep hill and looks cartoonish - like the drawing from a Dr. Seuss story! It's up above the fog line and gets delicious-warm-loving sun during the final stretch of the growing season in August. These grapes are usually the first Red Grape to come into the winery and are usually very, VERY SWEET - 27.0 Brix - it makes gorgeous wine!! Our 2018 Zinfandel has bright cranberry, lifesaver candy, ripe black cherry, and is a delightful mouthful of candied fruit! These luscious fruit flavors combine with rich chocolate, vanilla-mocha, Asian spice, and white pepper to end on a lusciously smooth finish. You will love this wine. It's been aging 1 year in barrel, showing its true LOVE. Our Zinfandels are bright and candied with soft tannins - very different from their robust Dry Creek Cousins. Russian River Zinfandel takes about 2 years to really shine, but once it does - it easily overtakes all other Sonoma County AVA's. Give it a try - this is wonderful!  ~ Nancy

We use ancient winemaking techniques to make this lovely wine.  It is dense, rich, complex and fully extracted.  The grapes are crushed to tank, and then we use automatic punch down tools to gently mix and submerge the grape "cap" in the wine during fermentation.   The result is all the fruit, flavor, color and richness that you are accustomed to and no harsh tannin.  This wine is a joy to make, and has loads of blackberry, chocolate, and buttery pie-crust to compliment a big, blockbuster mouth full of fruity goodness.  Only 168 cases (2,000 bottles) made.  Try this wine, you will love it!!  Nancy

I L-O-V-E Monterey Pinot Noir! This wine is my favorite to drink at home. Our 2020 Pinot Noir, Monterey has dried cherry pit, red cranberry fruit, earthy-moist-loam, raspberries, dried herbs, and tar combine with leafy and earthy vine flavors. Subtle butterscotch, vanilla, and cotton candy aromas and flavors blend with all this fruit to make a wonderful sip. This well-balanced, elegant wine has a long delightful finish. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness, 25.0 Brix for this vintage and the resulting fermentation ran for 8 days with mechanical punch down, pressing directly to barrel down with malo-lactic completing in the barrel.

This wine, “Los Amigos,” - means “the friends.” The wine, like its name, is very inviting and lovely to enjoy. The vineyard is small, looks unkempt, and grows right next to the freeway on the east side of the road. It’s an older vineyard and one of the best I have ever worked with. Zinfandel vines are funny - they look tired and worn out, and the fruit is better the uglier the vines look! LOL. We have just taken home GOLD, DOUBLE GOLD, AND 3 Silver medals on this wine and expect to receive gold soon! Enjoy a glass with a friend...  ~ Nancy

Every single drop of this precious wine is so delicious and concentrated, smooth and pleasing to the pallet!  Each person that tastes this wine comments on how much they love this varietal.  It's an old vine field planting that yields only 1 ton of grapes per acre - and really shines with quality. Ripe and full-bodied, yet creamy smooth.   Only 500 cases made of this lovely wine.
