With aromas of pineapple, pear and papaya, this wine has a rich caramel entry leading to a lush mid-palate of pear and pineapple. The long lingering finish is a delightful blend of citrus and butterscotch. - An exceptionally priced Sauvignon Blanc from estate-grown fruit, Brutocao’s Feliz Vineyard offers pronounced aromatics, all honeysuckle and apricot. Floral, savory, even slightly salty, the fruit that will stand out most here is honeydew melon. The wine’s just-enough level of sweetness is reminiscent of nature’s best.
- Aromas of black licorice, ripe cherries and mocha mark the entry of our single vineyard Cab. It coats your mouth with juicy blackberries, followed by firm round balanced tannins. A hint of sandalwood & chocolate covered berries are part of the long smooth finish.
- Opens with aromas of plum and blackberry, followed by flavors of dark fruit, espresso bean and cocoa. French oak aging leads to textured tannins and a long luscious finish.
- Brutacao's single vineyard Pinot Noir, which is grown in the warm days and foggy evenings of the Anderson Valley, opens with aromas of cherry cola, red berries, cloves and spice. Bright raspberry and strawberry flavors lead into lush toasted oak and a long finish of milk chocolate dipped strawberries.
- This Primitivo opens with inviting peppery aromas, followed by bright fruit and spice overtones, along with a nice bead of acidity throughout. A good pizza and lasagna wine.
- The triumph of Italian wine varietals championed in this Estate blend of Sangiovese, Primitivo, Barbera and Dolcetto offers a portrait of aromas and flavors that have resonated throughout the Mediterranean for centuries.
- Aromatics of ripe raspberry and spice are followed by flavors of dark cherry, cinnamon & earth. Black pepper notes in the mid-palate are followed by velvety chocolate with just a touch of oak. Balanced tannins will allow this wine to age beautifully.
