67% Roussanne, 12% Grenache Blanc, 11% Picpoul Blanc, 10% Marsanne. Generous and inviting; the wine opens with notes of jasmine, mandarin, almond pastries and savory herbs. The palate is full and round, but also savory, with lemon meringue, miso and honey drizzled nectarines playing beautifully together. For all its palate weight, the wine finishes clean and refreshing as candied ginger lingers on the long, impeccably balanced finish.

90% Zinfandel, 5% Petite Sirah, 4% Mourvedre, 1% Syrah. Baking spices of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg captivate the senses. Soft and inviting, briary raspberry shares center stage with cherry cola and sarsaparilla on a medium bodied frame. Orange peel, licorice and hibiscus keep the intrigue high in this delicious Zinfandel from our Willow Creek Estate.

38% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 21% Syrah, 6% Carignan, 4% Cinsault, 1% Roussanne. A structured rendition of our homage to the Southern Rhone with Herbs de Provence, Spanish cedar and raspberry compote. A savory mélange of grilled meats, fresh cracked pepper and red plum skin leads to a full-bodied palate. There’s a vein of minerality and gravel running through the vibrant core of this wine, and it will need time to come out of its shell. Decanting and patience are highly recommended.

42% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Franc, 12% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. A perennial hedonistic elixir, this opens with warmed cherry pie, kola nut and blackberry compote. Flavors of melted licorice and fudge fill the expansive mouthfeel where toasted marshmallow lingers on the long decadent finish. Compared to our other ‘23 releases, this one is showing beautifully on release and can be drunk early.

30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Tannat, 21% Cabernet Franc, 18% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot. A sleeping giant of a wine. With time, savory notes of soy sauce, yeast extract and iodine emerge. The palate is firm and structured, with punchy flavors of blackberries, plum sauce and lingering wood smoke. This is the most tightly coiled and backward wine of the vintage. If drinking early, it will need lots of air before enjoying, but it will be best suited for a long nap in the recesses of your cellar or wine fridge.
