15.2% ALC by Vol

Imagine sitting in this hillside vineyard abundant sunshine warms your face with oak-studded grasslands all around. This is where the grapes grew. Pop the cork and see what they have become. Playful and smooth, this wine opens with black cherry, raspberry, blueberry, and light spice. Great for a picnic of aged cheeses, olives, and dried fruit.

2018 Merlot, Paso Robles $15 glass Btl $39 , Club $31 (Silver Medal)

Opens with a lightness that builds complexity and depth with each sip culminating in a rustic full-bodied wine. Swirling releases dark fruit, blueberry, dark cherry, and plum. The tannins are smooth and complex with a touch of dried herbs and clean, leaving your palate clean and refreshed. The perfect compliment to braised meats and hearty sides.

2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles $15 glass Btl $39, Club $33 (Silver Medal)

They say that Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of all wines and this one stands tall in that royal court. The nose is full of interest with layers of dark aromas. This smooth wine is  complex, deep and full-bodied with flavors of black cherry, black current and spice. The firm tannins compliment the bright acidity allowing it to pair with grilled meats and aged cheeses.

2018 Mourvèdre, (Moo-Vee-Dhra) Paso Robles $15 glass Btl $42, Club $36 (Gold Medal 92 Pts )

Grab and book and glass and settle into this bottle of wine. The mysterious first sip opens with a surprise of bright acidity dancing on your tongue. The plot thickens on the second sip with reveals a twist with its full flavors of dark ripe red plum, acai, and blackberry are revealed. It continues with delicate notes of vanilla and rose accented with a swirl of smoke. The complexity of the silky smooth wine keeps you wanting more.

2018 Syrah, Paso Robles $15 glass Btl $36 Club $31 (Silver Medal 2021 Sunset Magazine International Wine Comp)

Paso Robles 15.1%

If you want a big beautiful Syrah, look no further. This wine is the perfect finish at the end of a long day when you need a moment to yourself. Its ripe fruit flavors with a touch of oak are just the start, then a flourish of
tart cherry and dried cranberry tingles the sense and you begin to melt away the day. A piece of dark chocolate is the perfect touch
to this wine’s long smooth finish. Grab a glass and relax.

2018 Big Zenful Zinfandel, Lodi $15 glass Btl $29, Club $31

Lodi, California ABV 15.8%

In Lodi, about an hour south of Sacramento, the days are hot and the nights are cool which is exactly what Zinfandel grapes love! These grapes came from that beautiful wine region. This wine is juicy, jammy, and ready to get the party started! It’s packed with layers of flavors so if you love a BIG ZIN… try this one.

2018 Baby B 5, Central Coast $15 glass Btl $41, Club $35

Our take on the Bordeaux Blend combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, and Petite Verdot. On the nose, one can sense red, black and blue fruits, with a touch of spice, herbs and candy. The flavors complement and are integrated with smooth rich tannins balanced by natural acidity.

2019 Petit Petite, Lodi NEW $15 glass $39 Bot Retail, CLub $33 (Bronze Medal Orange County 2022)

50% Petit Verdot 50% Petite Sirah. Though not related these two wines blend perfectly delivering a unique full-bodied wine. The Verdot brings blueberry & Violet notes and firm tannins. The Sirah adds  dusty notes of black cherry, black pepper, and black tea thus creating complexity and structure.
