A fruit forward nose, with Cola, Tobacco and Dry Sandalwood. Through the palate this Zinfandel shows, Black Cherry, Raspberry, Hazelnut and finishes with soft tannins. This Zinfandel is balanced through the palate with just the right amount of acidity. Great time and effort was spent to produce a Zinfandel with complexity, mouth appeal and a finish that lingers.

A show of tropical fruit and floral aromas, this opens with attractive scents of dry honeysuckle, honeydew melon and citrus leads the frame to guava, pineapple rind and red apple fruit core. Arriving medium-weight  on the palate, with bright, orange-laced acidity to lift. A final note of delicate stone fruit on the way back of the close. All stainless steel, native fermentation and 100% Chenin Blanc from the Hoffman Vineyard.

Beautiful aromas of red fruits, licorice and black pepper, flavores of cherry and spice that lends a welcome sense of delicacy. The wine is quite dry but flavorful along the spiced and macerated red and black berry and plum range, and it’s powered by vibrant acidity for propulsive energy. Tannins, on the other hand, feeling carved from dusty underbrush, briers and brambles, are tranquil, deeply set and inexorable. 100 percent Grenache aged in neutral oak with native fermentation.  Appellation: Lodi,  Winemaker: Michael J McCay.

Dark ruby at the center with a bouquet offering scents of raspberries and blueberries permeated by notes of cloves, lavender and graphite, and then, very lightly, a sort of red cherry licorice-cigarette paper element that lends a welcome sense of delicacy.
