Wine Club Release

Fall Wine Club Release

Hello fellow wine club members,

Fall Release is just a month away, and we are very excited to share these new wines with you. Our crew has been hard at work in the vineyard and the winery throughout this busy 2026 harvest. As picking winds down, we look forward to celebrating the end of the vintage with you at wine club release.

The wines chosen for this release are perfectly suited to the fall and winter season ahead. Learn about what’s coming, plus details on the release parties and everything else, below.

The Wines

2025 Chardonnay

(White hydrangea blossoms and asian pear on the nose that opens with lemon infused creme brulee on the palate followed with balanced texture, a splash of minerality and whispers of vanilla-nut flavors that produces a strike of savory to balance the wine’s floral and fruit flavors)

2021 Merlot

(Plum, crème de cassis, lead pencil, and gravel on the nose. Vibrant and rich on the palate with black fruit, cigar tobacco, nutmeg, dark chocolate, and classic Bordeaux herbal notes. Long, precise finish. Generous fruit, crisp acidity, silky tannins)

2023 Petit Verdot

(bright and bold. Blackberry, black plum, cassis, blueberry, and violet on the nose; cocoa, cedar, and baking spice as it opens. Rich palate of dark berries, bittersweet chocolate, crushed rock, and savory spice. Firm, fine tannins, fresh acidity, long finish of dark fruit, cocoa, cumin, and coriander)

2022 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

(intense and full-bodied. Cassis, cinnamon, mint, graphite, truffle, and earth on the nose; cassis, blackberry, leather, tobacco, pencil lead, vanilla, and dark chocolate on the palate. Ripe, supple tannins, bright acidity, long finish. Classic estate Cabernet from the best parcels)

2022 Reserve Syrah

(intense, hedonistic, deep purple. Blackberry, huckleberry, mineral, tar, truffle, vanilla, and violet on the nose. Full-bodied with silky tannins—blackberry, bacon fat, garrigue, forest floor, espresso, dark chocolate, and earth. Powerful structure, taut acidity, long finish)
