Vineyard Notes

The 2023 vintage marked the end of our three-year drought, bringing nearly 30” of rainfall that contributed to the revitalization of our soil profiles and fostering robust canopy growth. The vintage was one of the mildest in the last 10 years which provided a long hangtime, allowing full flavor development leading to very expressive flavors and aromas. As soon as the fruit set after flowering, extensive hand work began in the vineyard opening the canopy to allow for full sun exposure on the fruit. This leads to full, concentrated flavor and ensures the fruit is as expressive as possible. The 2023 vintage will be one for the ages and we feel these wines truly capture the exceptional year.

Pairs Well With

Grilled Marinated Lamb Skewers

These grilled marinated lamb skewers are easy to make and pack delicious flavors. Lamb is a classic accompaniment to our Proprietary Super Tuscan and Proprietary Syrah wines, due to its gamy richness and this marinade’s garlic & thyme accents heighten the paring. Add a liberal dusting of salt and fresh cracked black pepper before you…

Roasted Vegetable Medley

Chef Jamie combines colorful winter vegetables with the smoky garlic flavor of our Infused Garlic Oil with the sweet tang of our Meyer Lemon Citrus Syrup in this simple roasted vegetable medley.  Pairs wonderfully with our Proprietary Super Tuscan.

Sugo All’Amatriciana

This traditional pasta sauce is based on Guanciale (cured pork jowl), Pecorino cheese, and tomato. Originating from the town of Amartice in mountainous Lazio, the Sugo all’Amatriciana is one of the best-known sauces in Italian cuisine, and pairs wonderfully with our Proprietary Super Tuscan.
