On the menu

  • Cabernet Sauvignon

    Cabernet Sauvignon • 2021

    The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with brooding notes of red currant, cedar, dried flowers, and chapparal. Ripe black plum, mocha, and cinnamon strut across the palate – they are trailed by hints of grilled herbs. The finish starts with concentrated tannins, then transforms into a seamless combination of unctuous midpalate and lingering acidity.

  • Dirt Worshipper

    Syrah • 2022

    Powerful aromas of violets, blueberries, sandalwood, and olive tapenade explode from the glass. The midpalate is dripping with blackberry, white pepper, espresso and dark chocolate notes that evolve into a rich mouthfeel and stunningly long finish.

  • Ditch Digger

    GSM • 2022

    Muddled wild strawberries and mulberries are juxtaposed against citronella and garigue. Anise seed, petrichor and red plum notes fill out this massively complex wine. The earthy, savory nature of the blend keeps the open generous textures in check as the finish sails on and on in perfect harmony.

  • Ditch Digger Concrete

    GSM • 2022

    Notes of spiced damson plums, sugared strawberries, and prosciutto greet your nose right from the start. Underpinnings of Hibiscus flower, Earl Grey, and forest floor chime in to support this wine's earthy nature. Crunchy red fruits and peppery spice frame the palate, where the tannins are balanced by a silky texture.

  • Sacred Burro

    Carignan • 2022

    Enticing aromas of blackberry, lavender, Sichuan peppercorn and tamarind merge on the seductive nose. The lively palate opens with cherry, orange zest, and an explosion of umami flavors – notably porcini and nori. The midpalate starts robust with a supple texture that is quickly focused with a core of fruit flavors and precise acidity.

    $80
  • Theresa

    Rhône Blend • 2023

    Smelling like a warm spring day with delicate aromas of chamomile, oleander, beeswax and a kiss of sea spray. The wine dances with notes of candied grapefruit, mandarin orange and Asian pear wrapped in sweet brioche. Medium bodied, the plump and juicy palate dazzles the senses calling you back for another sip.

  • Viognier

    Viognier • 2022

    The 2022 Viognier explodes from the glass with aromas of Meyer lemon, peach pit, wet stone, and botanicals. Incredibly lively on the palate, this beautiful white offers notes of nectarine, melon and shortbread. It's at first silky and rich on the entry but quickly evolves with focused acidity on the incredibly long-lasting finish.

    $55
  • Zinfandel

    Zinfandel • 2022

    Elegant aromas of wild strawberry, freshly ground black pepper, and wet slate introduce the ethereal 2022 Zinfandel. The palate is generous, offering a menagerie of mulberry, black licorice, and hoisin notes garnished with an orange peel twist. The finish is indelible with a densely packed core of fruit and savory elements that linger long after the wine is gone.
