- This Pinot Noir is the one that puts a great smile on people's faces when they come to the tasting room. Unlike the broody, over-extracted modern California Pinot Noirs, ours is one that “sings on the palate”. It is elegant and luscious, full of layered textures and flavors that make you want to dream up new sins and then rush to commit them
- Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Subdued nose initially, opening slowly in the glass to offer scents of ripe dark berries and oak cask. Layers of interesting flavor including black cherry, pomegranate, dark raspberry and tobacco. Admirable harmony with balanced tannins and a lip-smacking finish with good intensity and length.
- Mystos is also the name of a surf spot known only to the locals who surf the Sonoma Coast and the winery principals won’t tell you where that is either. Indigenous yeast fermentation, aged 16 months in French oak. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Aromas of cherry cobbler, Asian spice, anise and vanilla lead to a delicious core of Bing cherry fruit accented with notes of strawberry, exotic spice and vanilla pastry cream. The fruit is strikingly fresh and juicy, bringing the drinker to attention, and is back by zippy acidity that is unusual for the Russian River Valley, showing up as a refreshing cut on the bright and intense cherry-themed finish.
- The wine that started it all. Oded always believed that this classic variety is suited for the cool coastal climate of the Russian River Valley. A sip is worth a thousand words. From vineyards planted in the upper-middle reach of the valley, where Syrah thrives. The wine has classic spicy notes and powerful black fruit aromas supported by a round, lush finish.
- A classic wine from a legendary vineyard. This wine fermented in 100% French oak barrels and the lees were stirred every two weeks. Meyer lemon, peach and vanilla notes lead the way to slight butterscotch. A great minerality balances the flavors and will ensure a graceful ageing.
- Full-bodied and complex with bright aromatics. Our flagship wine is sourced from several sustainably farmed vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands. As with all Luli wines, the Pinot Noir is hand-harvested and hand-sorted. After the fruit undergoes a fermentation with native yeast, the wine is aged in barrels for 9-10 months. Bottling is done without fining or filtration to maintain the purest sense of the wine.
- Rich and spicy. As the last variety to ripen in the cold Santa Lucia Highlands, the fruit has much time to develop its flavor complexity, color and richness. Our Syrah production extensively uses whole cluster fermentation to enhance aromatics and texture.
- Crisp and fresh. Made in a vin gris style, the red grapes are pressed immediately when they arrive in the winery. The juice is not allowed to sit on the skins, limiting the amount of its color. A beautiful, vibrant wine results.
- Vibrant and lively. Luli Chardonnay is sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, a cool-climate appellation that ensures bright acidity. The vinification captures this energy. The fruit is fermented in both neutral barrels (older cooperage that no longer imparts wood flavor) and tanks. While the barrels provide texture and lees contact, the tanks provide vibrancy and freshness.

- Oded's version of a "Regional Blend" . Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and a bit of Merlot and Malbec come together to express a sense of place. This wine takes the best characters from different varieties and blends them to a consistent flavor profile, much like a Point Break does with swells originating from far away places, arranging them for surfers to enjoy.
- The lush, round entry on the palate leading to a well structured, full mouthfeel, ending with a long pleasing finish. Added notes of black cherry, ripe plums and nicely integrated oak make this Meritage a wine that can be enjoyed now but will reward the patient consumer with the added complexity that will be gained with years of aging.
- Deep rich, youthful, purple hues are evidenced in the glass with aromas that have pleasing intensity. Hints of cassis, raspberry, spice, and rhubarb are well integrated in the nose. From entry to finish this wine has an even, alluring presence on the palate with a nicely balanced medium body. The flavors follow the aromas with added nuances of red currants and oak nicely integrated with the vinous fruit and a moderately lingering finish augmented by a touch of chili pepper
- A Young Merlot was taken by Hollywood glamour photographer Bruno Bernard, in 1949 at the Palm Springs Racquet Club, with Norma Jeane playfully posing on a diving board above shimmering water the color of her bathing suit. It was during this photo shoot that she was introduced to the Hollywood agent Johnny Hyde, who secured a role for her in The Asphalt Jungle, leading to her fame as Marilyn Monroe.
- Dark, intense aromas of plum and mixed berry mingle with traces of sassafras, smoky oak, earth and dried rose petals. The round, bright entry frames flavors of dark cherry, plum, black raspberry and traces of pomegranate that merge with sarsaparilla and toasty oak notes that contribute a chocolate essence as the finish lingers. Well balanced with integrated acidity and supple tannins, this Pinot has a purity that enhances its appeal. Try pairing it with braised lamb in a pomegranate sauce, or paella infused with chicken, sausage and seafood.
- Inviting aromas of perfectly ripened dark juicy cherries and blackberries commingle with traces of white pepper and rich oak notes. The opulent entry presents balanced, delicious flavors of brambly berry, plum and dried strawberry. Mid-palate mocha, subtle cake spices and black licorice appear, enhancing the fruit as the flavors merge and linger. Buoyant acidity and a thread of oak create the gentle yet solid structure that cradles the luscious flavors.
- Fresh and fragrant, the aromas waft from the glass sharing their crisp yet creamy aromatics of sliced pineapple and pear with a squeeze of Meyer lemon. The velvety texture is laden with a bright lemony essence that carries through the palate and lingers. Ripe Anjou pear, lychee nut and traces of white floral mingle with hints of smoky oak, adding interest and depth to the wine. Beautifully balanced with bright fruit and silky smooth mouthfeel, this easy-to-sip Chardonnay will be tough to put down. Pair it with fresh-caught halibut served in a lemon and Chardonnay reduction, or a Caesar salad with chicken or shrimp.
- Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre from Terra Bella, Shadow Canyon and Luna Matta Vineyards complete the Syrah based Westside Paso Robles blend for Beautiful Earth.
- Aromas of black cherry, cassis and forest floor are prevalent in the nose. The luscious mid-palate impression is comprised of dark chocolate truffle, blackberry and cardamom notes. The finish is seamless melding the rich tannins with cedar, leather and a smidgen of spice.
