"Plum and blueberry flavors with a touch of dried herb predominate in this soft, rich, mouth filling Merlot. These characteristics are enhanced by aging in small oak barrels for a toasty, spicy vanilla character and a lingering berry-cream finish. Drink this satisfying Merlot over the next two to four years."

"Pale straw in color with faint jade hues, Titulus has an intense bouquet of peaches and apples with a hint of roses. On the palate the wine is clean, with refreshing acidity and a hint of bitter almond in the finish so typical of the Verdicchio grape."

"Aromas of lush black cherry, blackberry and cassis draw you in. Round and rich tannins provide a robust backbone and supple mid-palate. Notes of cedar, vanilla and a hint of mocha linger on the finish."

"Aromatics are the order of the day for our Napa chardonnay, which speaks loudly of our cool climate, marine-influenced vineyard. Oaks take a lesser role in recent vintages, and we celebrate the fresh, crisp style that complements many foods by allowing less than a quarter of the wine to undergo malolactic fermentation. Bright fruits boasting of pear and green apple are accented with a bit of citrus zest and honeybell, balanced with a creamy brioche and touch of vanilla. We age the wine in mostly neutral French oak to enhance mouthfeel. This is the new face of California chardonnay, a wine to enjoy as an apéritif or as a worthy complement to wonderful presentations of your favorite dishes."

"This is an intensely colored Rosé. The high tones of red fruits in the nose only begin to hint at the juicy and super round fruit that you find on the palate. Notes of mineral and chalk keep the wine crisp and refreshing. The Saint-Antoine is a full-bodied Rosé, perfect for the warm weather and grilling season ahead!"
