Gen 5 Chardonnay Gen 5 Chardonnay $13.00

Bright golden yellow in color, the Gen 5 Chardonnay leads with classic varietal fruit aromas of apple, pear, ginger and lemon blossom, followed by subtle vanilla notes. In the glass, a bright acidity is broadened by lemon custard and honey flavors. Nicely oaked but not enough to overwhelm the delicate fruit.


Schug Pinot Noir Schug Pinot Noir $22.00

This wine easily over delivers in terms of flavor and quality for the dollar. Vibrant Bing Cherry aromas around a subtle, lightweight and elegant body and flavor. A lovely restrained weight with Burgundian acidity. Oak is in perfectly in tune and plays a supporting role without dominating and masking the fruit.


Poseidon Chardonnay Poseidon Chardonnay $26.00

All estate fruit goes into this single vineyard bottling. Cool, seaside climate makes for a crisp, fresh style. Extended lees contact lends a creamy texture. Baked apple, pear, white flowers, crisp acidity all play nicely in the glass. Not overly oaked to all the fruit to shin through beautifully!

  • Tintero Moscato

    #2 Tintero Moscato

    Sori Gramella refers to the one of the only single vineyard Moscatos, and Marco is the only producer to bottle this striking limestone amphitheater commercially. Once the 30 year old vines give up their bounty, and the grapes are harvested and pressed, they are kept in stainless steel at a low temperature to prevent fermentation until an order is received in order to provide the freshest wine possible.
