772 | Wine | Napa Valley, Carneros

"This elegant and medium-bodied wine offers aromas of Cherry and herbal spice. On the palate the wine gives complex layers of cinnamon, spice, black cherry, sweet vanilla oak and floral notes, with a long velvety finish. Smooth with a silky texture and mild tannins, this versatile wine pairs well with lamb, chicken, veal, salmon and light pasta dishes."

"Aromas of pear, lime and orange blossom mingle with subtle floral notes and the perfect amount of sweet toasty oak and vanilla. On the palate, intensely forward fruit and bright natural acidity complement each other and lead to a long rich finish."

"A medium ruby color and aromas of dark cherries, briary strawberry and subtle hints of vanilla and lavender give way to a lush, silky palate with more bright fruit, cedar, and toast. This wine also has a great acid/tannin balance that should allow for great aging potential in the years to come. Enjoy!"

"The 2012 Vin Gris has the delicate, pale terra cotta color associated with classic rosé wines of Burgundy. The aromas and flavors are both subtle and more complex than years past with a range of pear, stone fruits, wild strawberry and blood orange. The bright and structured acidity balanced with a spectrum of aromas and flavors allows this wine to be paired with ceviche, fish tacos, seafood ravioli, roast chicken, fresh scallops on the grill and summer salads."

"The finished wine is rich and creamy, with a lovely aroma of grilled bread and lemon zest."

"Like some of our other Chardonnay bottlings, this wine comes from two Napa Valley Carneros District vineyards, but the similarity ends there. In this case, we ferment exclusively in Stainless Steel tanks; the term '304' refers to the food grade quality of those tanks and reflects the high level of Nickel and Chromium used in their production. After a few months of contact with the lees in the tank, the wine is bottled without exposing it to oak barrels. The nose is pure Chardonnay. The flavors are lively and crisp, with a fresh, thirst-quenching finish. This is a perfect everyday wine and will be ideal with a wide variety of foods -- or even on its own as that first glass of white wine in the evening."

"Dark ruby red with some violet notes, medium density. Red cherry, cranberry, baking spices, toasted hazelnut, and crushed stone. Soft, yet bright entry, round and pleasantly balanced on the mid-palate, medium weight. Finishes with delicate length."

"The Carneros region with its climate and clay soils allows us to produce a Merlot which is true to the varietal’s characteristics. The longer growing season allows the fruit to reach maturity slowly, giving us fruit which is soft and elegant, yet rich and full flavored."
