This year we decided to try a different take on our rose, using a few grapes we haven’t in recent years. The result is a complex, fruity rose that is sure to be a favorite summertime sipper. On the nose lush strawberry, red raspberry and watermelon lead into honeydew, white peach, and a slight earthy component which adds complexity to what some consider and one-dimensional type of wine.

This year’s Roussanne-based blend displays pleasing floral notes, backed by stone fruit, and tropical aromas of grapefruit and mango on the nose. A weighty palate filled with tangerine, honeysuckle and Meyer lemon gives way to a bright backbone of acidity, balancing out the wine and providing a sustained and elegant finish.

This wine’s pleasant aromas of kiwi, honeydew melon, and nectarine are nicely complemented by a floral component reminiscent of orange blossoms. On the palate, our 2018 Albariño is crisp, clean and light-bodied showing ample flavors of pineapple, grapefruit, mango and lime zest that are sure to remind you of a tropical paradise.

Deep ruby in color, the 2017 Gravity opens with layers of fruity aromatics on the nose. Blackberry, cherry, strawberry and a touch of blueberry pie jump from the glass, while earthy notes of leather, cocoa, and baking spice not only add complexity to the nose, but remain present on the richly textured palate.

On the nose, vanilla and clove are warm and inviting. Ripe plum and blackberry reveal themselves both aromatically, and on the palate. The elegant flavors integrate seamlessly with hints of earthiness and black currant.

Aromatics of ripe blackberry, cherry, and currant, are brought full circle via its nuanced oak profile of vanilla, cedar and baking spice. The palate is rich and dark with leathery yet supple tannins that extend into a juicy long-lasting finish.

Quarry Butte is an elegantly expressive six varietal blend which captures the unique terroir of Destiny Ridge Vineyard. This red blend showcases opulent aromas of currant, blackberry, cherry, and subtle hints of cedar, tobacco, and mocha. The rich yet balanced palate is concentrated with ample amounts of blackberry, raspberry, vanilla, cocoa, and baking spice.

In the vineyard the Petit Verdot yields open clusters with tiny berries. Tiny berry size leads to a high ratio of skin to juice contact during the fermentation process which creates a wine that exudes highly concentrated aromatic notes of violet, dried rose petal, cassis, raspberry, and blueberry. 

Deep red and garnet in color, an abundance of black currant, cherry, plum, ripe strawberry and a plethora of baking spices shine through on the nose. Layered with complexity, the lush flavors of plum, raspberry and fresh blueberry are complimented by hints of cocoa and mocha throughout the palate.
