Sauvignon Blanc
Whole cluster pressed and fermented entirely in stainless steel, this Sauvignon Blanc delivers vibrant aromas of apricot, pear, and citrus. The palate is crisp and refreshing with a clean, lingering finish that makes it perfect for warm Lodi afternoons.
Chardonnay
With 70% barrel fermented in French oak, this Chardonnay strikes a balance between richness and freshness. Aromas of honey, fig, and graham cracker give way to a creamy palate with bright acidity, finishing with a touch of toasted oak and vanilla.
Rose
A blend of Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Merlot gives this rose its pale pink color and lively character. Expect bright notes of strawberry and tangerine on the nose, with a dry, refreshing palate and a hint of white pepper on the finish.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Aged 18 months in French oak and blended with Merlot and Petite Sirah, this Cabernet Sauvignon delivers dark fruit, baking spice, and a touch of mocha. The tannins are firm but approachable, with a long, structured finish that rewards patience.
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Sourced from the acclaimed Armstrong Vineyard, this reserve is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petite Sirah, aged in 40% new French oak. The result is a dense, layered wine with blackberry compote, cedar, and dark chocolate, built for aging but compelling now.
