2017 Charlotte's Home Sauvignon Blanc
"Flinty with an aroma of matchstick, this wine is ultimately fresh and fruity in honeydew melon and peach, with an ebullience on the palate. Lightweight, it add highlights of grapefruit and lemon on the finish."
2014 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
"...the winemaker selects the best barrels in the cellar and blends them to create a Reserve bottling.Their 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a lovely amalgam of herbal and cassis-like flavors wrapped in fine tannins. Yes, it’s a big wine, but to their credit, it’s not overdone or boisterous. It would be a choice for current drinking with robust beef dishes." –Michael Apstein

2014 Reserve Pinot Noir
Compost, earth and spicy cardamom notes provide the savory intrigue of this full-bodied, expressive wine, with additional pine forest, pomegranate and orange peel flavors that add to its complexity and appeal. Sourced from several vineyards in the heart of the appellation, it represents the vintage and the location well. - V.B.

2014 Reserve Chardonnay
Offers complexity, with an array of citrus, tangerine, nectarine and honeydew flavors, ending with a dash of smoky, toasty oak. Drink now through 2021. - James Laube.
2016 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
“This wine’s red fruit shows some green-herb notes when first opened, a brisk, bright counter to its velvety richness. A day later, that greenness retreats, leaving a gentle, clean Cabernet with touches of ancho-chile spice.” - J.G.
