2024 PINOT NOIR La Tache Clones

SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS – 15.9% abv.

$19.00/Glass $68.00/Bottle

Salivatingly old world depth, with a bright future ahead of it. Young and vibrant, beautiful and rich for a thin skin grape. Hints of forest charm with mellow smooth tannins. My favorite vineyard this side of Burgandy.

2023 Merlot

ALEXANDER VALLEY – 14.2% abv.

$15.00/Glass $42.00/Bottle

This wine highlights a bright and youthful exuberance, bursting with the juiciness of a Lingonberry. Like a 14yr old boy entering adolescence, tiptoeing into manhood, ready for all the aging to occur. Fresh rhubarb pie meets slightly charred marshmallow floating on the top of a vanilla custard. Salvation occurs once it hits your lips. Medium body red with silky, softer tannins.

*2023 ZINFANDEL

LODI- 13.1% abv.

$14.00Glass $38.00/Bottle

Lucious & vibrant, this early picked, velvety dirty cousin of the Grenache with less bright fruit and more cranberry. Ground black pepper saunters in the air around your cilia. Like an acid trip without the jam. Medium bodied and easy drinking.

PASO ROBLES- 14.9% abv.

$14.00Glass $38.00/Bottle

Cool nights in the countryside of Valle de Uco, smoking ducks around the parrilla and howling to the moon over deep, deep dark fermented thick skinned uvas.

*2022 CABERNET SAUVIGNON

LAKE COUNTY- 15.7% abv.

$15.00Glass $52.00/Bottle

Dark opulence with high pedigree, built for royalty. Silkworms cringe with jealousy from its smooth expressions. Subtle minerality from its auburn volcanic soil sits on top of that Luxardo cherry juice, sans the sweetness. Eternal lasting flavor and goodness. The chains on this tannin ride are long like a mushroom trip you can’t get off of. You’d think it was aged for 20 years as you smile from ear to ear. Indulge in this smooth rich delight.

2023 QUINTO

CABERNET SAUVIGNON

ALEXANDER VALLEY- 14.4% abv.

$18.00Glass $65.00/Bottle

Very expressive and pretty multilayered aromatics being picked up from its resting time on oak. Hints of old maple wood and morning bacon with aged vanilla beans hanging from the walls in the distance. Dark, rich, slightly chard caramel starts to present its self as time and oxygen goes to work. Medium plus tannins.

2023 PETIT VERDOT - ADAPTATION

ALEXANDER VALLEY- 15.7% abv.

$19.00Glass $65.00/Bottle

Scents of wet clay dripping from a warm summer's rain on a cool morning cement. Jostling between a large juicy plum and the lead of a number 2 pencil. Tannic but no need to wait 23 years for it to settle. Goes orgasmically with freshly killed game meat. Not really salad worthy but you make the rules. Powerful!

$125.00/Bottle

Deep mouth filling awesomeness like a brothel on a Saturday night. Intense dark plumb jousting with a graphite No.2 pencil, then slapping you across the face. The exact opposite of the juiciness as though you just ate a mango with a spoon and no napkin. Think, sucking on the bark of an Aspen tree with a tough of honey then ingesting a spoon of turmeric powder. Gravely tannic. Goes well with hot coitus and Kangaroo steaks (which can be substituted for venison, lamb, goat, or any other red meat you may have trapped.) The Coitus cannot be substituted.
