In 2010, our Central Coast Chardonnay grapes enjoyed an extended period maturing on the vine, which produced fruit with impressively concentrated flavors. The natural roundness of our Chardonnay was enhanced by partial barrel and malolactic fermentation coupled with extended aging on the yeast lees, resulting in a luscious, complex wine. The blend is made up of 98% Chardonnay, 1% Muscat Canelli, 1% Malvasia Bianca.
From the Wine Maker – “The nose reveals lemon blossom, pineapple, and peach aromas with smoky oak nuances along with enticing vanilla spice and toasty brown sugar flavors. The creamy, mouthfilling palate creates a lush impression and is balanced by a rich, lingering finish.”
Enjoy this delicious wine with rich seafood, poultry and pork dishes, white-sauce pastas – like fettuccine Alfredo, or flavorful, soft ripening cheeses.

This wine is dry, silky in texture and crisp in acids, showing the textural hallmarks of a fine coastal bottling. The raspberry, cherry, cola and spice flavors are delicious and complex.
When Steve Reeder and Dave Matthews first met, they realized they had a few things in common, like a passion for making wine at least as strong as their passion for drinking it.
Phantom is back…Bogle’s apparition of fierce berry and sensual spice returns to tease and tantalize. This red blend is made up of 51% Zinfandel, 47% Petite Sirah, and 2% Mourvèdre.
Similar to many European wines, the Rosenblum Zinfandel Cuvée XXXII doesn’t carry a specific vintage, allowing the winemaker to create a blend that reflects his ideal wine style. The result is a well-balanced, multilayered wine that can be enjoyed immediately upon release.
The two grape varieties (95% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot) of the blend were fermented differently: the Merlot was given seven to eight days of skin contact at maximum temperatures of 79° in order to extract only supple tannins and preserve the fruity character of the grape’s aromas, while the Sangiovese was given a longer, ten to twelve day maceration on its skins at higher temperatures, 86° which included a soft punching down of the cap of skins in order to increase the complexity of the wine’s flavors and aromas. Ageing took place both in stainless steel tanks and in oak for a total aging period of nine months, followed by a short, two months period of bottle aging before commercial release.

These vines enhance the structure of this wine and thrive in our family owned, cool-climate Monterey vineyard. This Pinot Noir offers a modern expression of the classic French style: the smooth, rich mouthfeel is framed with gentle tannins and luscious cherry, black pepper and floral notes.
Born in France, Raised in America. Not all vines are created equal. Over centuries, the French have carefully singled out the most coveted vines in Bordeaux and Burgundy, naming each vine with a unique number to identify its exceptional attributes.

Single Vineyard 446 Chardonnay is named for Vine Type 4 grown in Block 46 of our San Bernabe Vineyard. San Bernabe’s cool growing season and diverse soil types add to 446 Chardonnay’s brilliant color, juicy tropical and citrus flavors and supple finish.
The true essence of Primal Roots begins with the raw qualities of Merlot, Syrah, and Zinfandel that are artfully blended to create a smooth, full-bodied, sensual wine. 43% Merlot, 37% Syrah, and 20% Zinfandel make up the great blend while oak aging helps build the structure introducing the underlying vanilla, cream, and mocha characteristics.
A medium bodied, everyday drinking red with aromas of red berry and damson fruit. Fresh and lively on the palate with ripe berry fruit balanced by tangy acidity and soft ripe tannins leading to a warm, spicy finish. A seriously good wine that is all things Italian – made from Sangiovese grapes from selected vineyards in Puglia, southern Italy (known as the ‘heel’ of Italy).
