Seduction in a glass. Richly concentrated, juicy and dense with woodland berries, ripe dark cherry, bergamot and fig, handsomely accentuated by nuances of warm spice and molten dark chocolate. Supple and beautifully complex with stunning depth creating perfect harmony between both texture and flavor all the while offering a lengthy, generous, decadent finish. - A full silky entry with sophisticated structure, wonderful concentration and playful texture peeking through. An engaging finish of fresh cherries, rich chocolate and spiced cake.
- Striking yet expansive, it develops over the palate with sophisticated creaminess and racy acidity. Captivating flavors of white peach, brioche and quince compote layered with exotic hints of vanilla and saffron, with an enigmatic, enduring finish.
- This Sauvignon Blanc delivers a generous serving of tropical fruit and grapefruit. Lively with refreshing acidity and mouthwatering flavors that fill the palate with dimension.
- The beautiful, vibrant nose of freshly squeezed berries is laced with toasty oak and hints of forest floor. As the wine opens, juicy ripe blackberry and cherry caress the palate while cedar notes and toasty tannins spice it up. The structure frames the luscious forward fruit, creating an ideal balance for this delicious, easy to sip Cabernet.
- Straw yellow and packed with brisk acidity, this Alexander Valley Chardonnay boasts aromas of fresh-cut lemongrass, chopped pineapple and ripe Asian pear. The rich palate features flavors of golden apricot, tropical mango and sliced peach. The tart finish lingers along with flavors of grapefruit, lime and a welcoming minerality. Enjoy with grilled Alaskan salmon or pan-seared Mahi Mahi.

- 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.
- 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.
- This is undeniably the classic bold Sonoma cab you've been searching for. With the intense hit of black fruit right up front and the stabilizing tannins coating the mid-palate...you don't want this to end. But it does. It ends with a lingering finish of soft earth and sweet cocoa. Enjoy with a good steak and some good friends! Hold up to 5 years.
- This new release of our wildly popular Sonoma Red Blend is the ultimate BBQ wine. Medium to full bodied featuring notes of black cherry, fig, cassis and cedar. A round mid palate and soft tannins lead to a gentle finish suitable for many culinary styles. Our pick...smoked baby back ribs and sweet slaw!
- Well it looks a bit different—but trust us—this vintage is as good or even better than the past five. Highway 12 Proprietary Red Blend shines from start to finish with a nose of dark cherry and bark then hits the front and mid-palate with enormity of blackberry preserves, yet remains austere through the finish by way of cedar-like oak notes and a touch of pencil shaving. Supported by some good tannins, this strong, brooding bottle will handle cellaring with ease. By all means, drink now, but cellaring will only allow you to open it for that special occasion the Highwayman warrants.
- Rich and bright in blackberries and cherries, this 100% Cabernet is, in a word, delicious. The fruit stars front and center, supported by soft, complex tannins and an overlay of smoky new oak. Should hang in there for up to six years.
- Aromas of cassis, cherry and baking spices are framed in rose petals and dusty tannins with just a touch of cacao. The smooth mouth entry paves the way for robust flavors of strawberry-rhubarb jam, raspberry, vanilla bean with a hint of dark chocolate bound in subtle tannins and French oak.
- No component dominates and all work seamlessly together in an unctuous package. An interplay of textures and flavors, with stunning aromas of blackberry, dark fruits, dried fruit, black cherry, red fruits such as strawberries, spices, flowers, minerals, graphite, roasted herbs, baked dark bread and chocolate ganache are integrated and proportioned across a foundation of perfect mouth feel, cohesive acidity, and unctuous fruit.
- Bold, complex and quite ripe, with black raspberry and smoky spice aromas and cherry, toasty sage and herb flavors that pack a slight burn on the finish. For fans of the style.
- Outstandingly dense aromas of the ripest raspberry and strawberry emanate from the glass followed by flavors of honeycomb, milk chocolate, and berry pie.
