IT'S BACK!!

Rhapsody is our very popular blend of Marsanne and Roussanne. We take 50% of each grape and ferment and age them separately. The Marsanne is aged in stainless steel while about 33% of the Roussanne is aged in stainless with the balance in neutral oak. The 2 wines are then blended together right before bottling. The result is a delicious dry white wine that features floral and honeysuckle notes. 

Our 2012 Rhapsody was extremely popular, but unfortunately the vineyard was sold and we spent 4+ years looking for another vineyard that produced these 2 varietals. We finally found the Bonfiglio Vineyard in Mendocino County, liked what we saw and took the plunge! The result is our 2017 Rhapsody - enjoy!

A delicious and easy to drink Barbera from Hannah's Vineyard in Amador County. Nice dark red in color with pleasing nose with ripe fruits. Hints of vanilla on the finish. A very versatile red - enjoy with a meal or all by itself.

A superb Syrah featuring garnet purple color with dry-yet-fruity medium-full body. The wine is fruit-forward with soft, fine-grained tannins and just the right level of acidity to give it a very smooth mouth feel. This wine will continue to improve with age but is already delicious.

GOLD MEDAL - 92 PTS!

Features a dark purple/garnet color with toasty oak notes on the nose. 50% of the fruit comes from "old vines" that are more than 100 years old. Tasting reveals jammy cherry/berry fruit with a touch of vanilla, nice acidity, and medium tannins, ending with a fruity, full body and cherry sandalwood finish. 

The 2013 Catie's Corner Viognier shows a clear straw color with lovely floral notes that are characteristic of the varietal.  The 2013 offers excellent acidity and mouth feel, the later resulting from the neutral oak aging as well as hints of citrus, apricot and grapefruit.
