Trutina reflects a much warmer year with more fruit push in the nose. Aromas of sun-ripened strawberries and juicy plums weave a palate with cherry lightly touched by graphite and cola. Powerful and elegant, this remarkably balanced wine lingers with a long, smooth finish. - Rich, robust, and gorgeous right now. The aromas are powerful and ripe, billowing with dark cherries, kirsch, and cocoa powder. The supple, weighty flavors of amarena cherries and blackberries pick up cinnamon, dried thyme, and a splash of cream before the persistent, sweet fruit sails on the finish.
- This wine shows as deep, cherry red with aromas of cedar wood, cherry cordial and peppercorn. A complementary palate both juicy and savory buttress layers of sweet cranberry, ripe tannins, raspberry and notes of warm cinnamon and lead to a long, juicy finish.
- High tonal colors of Italian plum show off Mount Richmond’s display of smoke and dried lavender on the nose- cranberry, nutmeg and dark cacao slip into aromas of black cherry and purple plum. The tongue is delighted by spicy clove and sage and tempered by black currant and Bing cherry. Silky tannins with medium-high acid make this a savory and sexy pinot noir.
- Earthy on the palate with saddle, curry and peppermint components, this wine has a sturdy fruit and oak tannin component that will mellow with age. Windhill always has a rustic, old-world feel and produces age-worthy wines.
- Gorgeous plum color with black cherry and pepper on the nose. Deep cherry and violets compliment an earthy bramble component of licorice and spice. An elegant, complex wine with focused black fruit balanced by silky barrel tannins.
- Dark blackberry pie, sandalwood and cocoa on the nose, with huge fruit on the palate: dark plum, black raspberry, and marionberry dominate with notes of tobacco-leaf, baking chocolate and roasted beets. This is a structured wine with huge fruit backed up by substantial, well-integrated oak.
- With dried roses, freshly tilled garden earth and brambleberries on the nose, this deep red wine opens with wild blackberry, huckleberries and an almost meaty, savory spice. Sturdy and rich with black fruit tannins on the finish.
- ANU Cabernet Sauvignon is a limited production wine, with just 180 cases made in total. Consisting of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, this wine was aged for 17 months in French oak (70% new). According to Phil, this classic Cabernet Sauvignon shows, "....aromas of crushed black fruit, herbs, brown spice, and vanilla, leading to flavors of currant and blackberry." Abundant tannins bring out a firm mouth-feel, and with decanting the ANU Cabernet Sauvignon softens considerably, leading to a silky finish. This wine will get even better with time in bottle.
- Black cherry dominates the nose, with hints of lavender, violets, toasted oak, and white chocolate. Supple, round, mouth filling tannins caress the palate. Flavors of blackberry, black cherry, toasted oak, and chocolate carry through to a very long finish. When first tasted, our first premium- level Cabernet took one hour to fully open. This balanced wine will continue to develop for many years to come.
- Currant, blackberries, plum skin and a hint of tar, leap from the glass in this complex wine. The rich, soft entrance gives way to mouth-filling tannins, providing the backbone to a long finish. This deep wine really shows the Cabernet varietal character of what we call cherry/berry: loads of black cherry flavors with blackberry, currant and a hint of dried herb are noticeable flavors. The mountain fruit hallmarks of black fruit and structure are dominant. Time in bottle will lead to elegance, or decant with a dose of air to liberate this big Cab.
- The first impressions are the aromas of white chocolate, cranberry, cherry, brown spice with faint earthiness. Once in the mouth this young, beautiful Pinot combines the cranberry and cherry with red plum, spice and earth. Though soft on entrance there is a tannic framework which ushers the flavors to a medium long finish. Drink this beauty now, but you will be rewarded with 2+ years bottle age.

- Youthful tannins and acidity give great length to Humbaba which shows black cherry, olive, herb, and black pepper. Pair this wine with porcini mushroom and pancetta pizza with asiago cheese.
- It exhibits a sensational nose of black raspberry and berry fruit, a supple, full-bodied, expansive, savory mouthfeel, wonderful purity, heady glycerin and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This sexy Zinfandel can be drunk over the next 3-4 years.
- Intense ruby-red with violet hints in color, it possesses fruity aromas which remind one of fresh red fruits and white pepper. Firm structure, soft lush tannins and satisfying end. Pairs well with meat, pasta and cheese.
- Beautiful. With a classic pinot noir aroma of red-fruit and spice, this wine is brighter and fruitier than the 2008 Reserve with less overt tannins. A huge hit of sweet dark fruit with a lingering finish, this pinot has intense concentration from start to finish.
- A bright ruby gem, Clay Court shows cinnamon and saddle leather with sweet almond, spring blossoms and strawberry-rhubarb pie. Characteristics of volcanic Jory soil ring true in the palate of sweet tobacco, white pepper and raspberry compote with hints of prune and leather. Elegant tannins play with slight tension, ending in a pinnacle of grace.
- Notes of tobacco, licorice, cedar and red fruit on a medium bodied frame with notable detail and nuance in expression makes this a wonderfully superb wine. Laced with the hints of violets, plums and cherries this wine is extraordinarily rich, soft and well balanced. It is both lively and rich, with a peppery, spicy energy on the finish. Voluptuous, bold and robust. This wine walks a fine line between balanced elegance and super ripeness. A must with roasted wild game and meats; it is the perfect wine for rich cheeses and foods.
- This is a huge wine, deep red violet with dark fruit aromas, and firm structure. It has a full-bodied, long finish. Excellent with richly spiced dishes, strong cheeses, roast or grilled meats, tuna, salmon and chocolate.
