Like biting into a juicy black raspberry, our Cabernet Sauvignon bursts in your mouth with rich varietal flavors that include blackberry jam, boysenberry and hints of cherry licorice. Imbued with silky soft tannins that melt in the mouth, our Cabernet rested in French oak for 16 months, lending deeper notes of cedar, clove and tobacco to the background. Hints of rich, dark chocolate linger on the long, luxurious finish. - Inspired by the warm flavors of sun-ripened blueberries, our Merlot from California is for the hedonist in all of us. Vibrantly fruited, the wine boasts luscious flavors of blueberry, plum and ripe cherry that saturate the juicy, mouth-coating mid-palate. Aged in seasoned French and American oak, the wine features hints of mocha and toast in the background and warm notes of vanilla and spice, but it’s the rich and supple fruit which takes center stage on the smooth finish.
- Bursting with ripe, juicy flavor, our Red Blend is a showy blend of fresh-picked raspberries, black cherries and rich blackberry liqueur. Grown in Spain’s dynamic Catalunya region, the wine combines the classic grape varieties of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot into a velvety smooth blend that is both intriguing and flavorful. Soft and smooth, this is a medium-bodied red blend oozing warmth and character.
- A hint of effervescence bolsters the fresh notes of strawberry, raspberry, peach and apricot in our lively Moscato Rosé. Made with a classic blend of sunshine-loving Moscato and Raboso grapes from northeastern Italy’s Veneto region, this lightly sparkling charmer enchants with a vibrant pink color and abundant berry notes to match. Perfect for pairing with starters or for capping off an evening of fun, the wine playfully balances light sweetness and crisp acidity for a brisk, refreshing quaff.
- Jellybean Bubbles will take you down a sunny, tree-lined path in early summer, enveloping you with sweetly-scented notes of warm, fresh-picked peaches, honeysuckle and jasmine wrapped in a vibrant style that’s crisp and effervescent. Using Spanish varietal grapes found in traditional Spanish cavas, this sparkling wine was produced using the méthode champenoise manner with the secondary fermentation taking place in the bottle. Beautifully structured in the mouth with small, elegant bubbles, the honeyed flavors finish with a fresh, clean, mouthwatering sensation.
- As juicy as a fresh pineapple and as vibrant as a sunny California day, our Chardonnay blends tropical fruit flavors with a refreshing lemon-lime finish. Carefully crafted with ripe, juicy grapes from some of California’s best vineyards, the wine leaps from the glass with tropical-themed aromas and flavors. Fresh pineapple, mango, cantaloupe and kiwi notes are backed by refreshing citrus zest flavors in this lush, silky wine. Thanks to a touch of oak, the wine has a hint of vanilla creaminess that is at once indulgent and fresh.
- An inviting combination of floral notes and vibrant fruit flavors, our Moscato hails from the country that understands the good life – Italy. Indulging the senses with decadent notes of peach, apricot and rose petal, this is a refreshing white wine with a fruit-forward personality. In the mouth, the wine’s vibrant flavors of stone fruit and lime dance on the palate alongside fragrant notes of orange blossom. It’s a light-bodied yet lush pour-a hint of substance that comes courtesy of Italian sunshine-that finishes with just a hint of sweetness.
