2019 Rosé of Pinot Noir
"Watermelon, wild strawberry, red raspberry, blood orange, and lime commingle in this tangy, refreshing wine. It has more complexity than many Pinot-based blush wines on the market, many of them selling for higher prices than this one." - L.M.
2019 Rosé of Pinot Noir
"This wine continues to impress year after year. It's a stainless-steel, cold-fermented bottle of fruity goodness, with complexity to spare. Fresh and lively, it shines in clean, focused flavors of wild strawberry, melon and pineapple, retaining citrus-driven acidity throughout." - Virginie Boone

2016 600L Cabernet Sauvignon
"A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot from the 2,040 foot-elevation Cooley Ranch Sky High Vineyard, this is named for the 600-liter barrel in which the wine is fermented. Salt and oak tones support a wealth of black fruit and crushed rock flavors. It is supple and complex in structure, with years to go in the bottle. Enjoy from 2026 - 2031."
2016 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
"Elegant, tight black fruits on the nose with some earthy aromas. Firmly structure with pepper notes on the long finish. Drinking window 2020-2030."
2016 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
"Sweet, generous, exuberant nose, black olives and dark chocolate as well as blackcurrant. Rich and succulent, full-bodied, chocolatey, lavish fruit that's very concentrated. Tannins are nicely integrated and overall this shows some elegance, ripeness and weight. Very long."
2019 Charlotte's Home Sauvignon Blanc
"Light yellow; attractive, oral, grapefruit, melon, and white peach aroma with light grassy notes; medium body; crisp, bright, citrus and melon flavors with tropical notes and a slight richness in the mouthfeel; lingering aftertaste. Very highly recommended."
2017 Sonoma County Chardonnay
"Brimming in aromas of peach and vanilla, this wine is complex and layered. Bright acidity boosts the rich elements of fruit and oak on the palate." - V. B.
2018 Upshot White Wine
"This blend of Chardonnay, Grenache Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc is bright and crisp in feel. Bursting in persistent acidity, it lingers in tones of honeysuckle and green apple." - V.B.
2017 Chalk Hill Chardonnay
"With its mineral freshness and apple-skin spice, this is a clean and powerful Chardonnay, that power driven by some reduction that keeps the wine tight. Give it time in a decanter to open up, then serve as an aperitif with poached prawns." - J.G.
2018 Knotty Vines Cabernet Sauvignon & Chardonnay
2018 Chardonnay
"Toasty nose, silky and bright with crisp acidity and fresh pear fruit; a charming, overachieving everyday wine from a new label from Rodney Strong; racy and fresh, tangy and long."
2018 Cabernet Sauvignon
"Bright garnet color, smooth plum nose, fresh, juicy and generous; nice texture, good depth, considerable complexity, a stunning wine at this price, stock up. From Rodney Strong."
2018 Knotty Vines Cabernet Sauvignon

2016 ROWEN Red Wine
"The 2016 ROWEN Red Blend has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and aromas of pencil shavings, dried herbs, blackcurrants, charcuterie and tobacco leaf with red fruit touches. The palate is medium to full-bodied, grainy and fresh with well-tempered fruit and a long, nuanced finish."
