SPARKLING & ROSÉ
2023 Rosé
The rose is always a fun wine to make. The fruit is picked primarily out of Block 17, our largest on the property, which is situated on a somewhat steep northwest facing slope. We pick the block over the course of a few days depending on chemistry, and the fruit all goes directly into the press. This leaves the wine very light in color, borderline white wine depending on the vintage. We aim to have the rose be light in color while still carrying enough body and acidity to be exciting on the palate.

RED WINES
2021 Cuvee Matia
The Matia is a special blend of all the best grenache barrels from the vintage. The flavor profile will vary from vintage to vintage, but the vines off the estate usually lean towards a red fruit forward palate. We age in just enough new oak to bolster up the flavors without overpowering the fruit.
100% Grenache | 405 cases produced | 14.6%

2022 Pantheon
The Pantheon is our everyday drinking red. Although it’s blended with intention, this incorporates the barrels that don’t find a home in our first tier bottlings (North Slope, Matia, Agno). The Pantheon generally uses no new oak and is thought of as a sophisticated yet uncomplicated red wine.
45% Grenache, 31% Mourvedre, 24% Syrah | 831 cases produced | 13.5%

2022 Sandra Pinot Noir
Where the Wabi Sabi is earthy and austere, the Sandra is made to be fruity and flippant. Named for our matriarch Sandra Zahoudanis, the Sandra pinot noir is designed to showcase more of the fruity aspects of pinot noir. We pick fairly early to retain a good amount of natural acid in the grapes, but not so early that the strawberry and cherry notes aren’t apparent.

2021 "Wabi Sabi" Pinot Noir
This wine is complex, both aromatically and on the palate. Whole-cluster fermentation restrains the sweetness or sappiness while leaving a dense and layered fruit profile. It offers intense black cherry, cherry cola, pomegranate, violets, sassafras, black tea, red licorice and lavender. The palate is rich, full and intense, with pronounced, tight tannins and firm acid structure.

2022 Agno
Agno is our pure version of Mourvedre off the estate. Usually used as a smaller part of a larger ensemble, this is our opportunity to make Mourvedre the solo artist. Our goal is a full bodied and fruit forward wine, with enough tannins to bolster up the backbone of the palate without requiring a steak pairing for balance.

WHITE WINES
2023 Pantheon Blanc
2023 was the second year working with the fruit from White Barn Vineyard. We are always aiming to make a bright and fruity Sauvignon Blanc, while still allowing the vineyard to express itself. In this vintage you can find notes of grapefruit, passionfruit, and white flowers.

2022 Viognier
The 2022 Viognier was harvested at similar ripeness levels to previous years, but like many of our other wines it was a little more textural and less acidic than past vintages. Grapes were direct pressed, fermented in a combination of stainless steel, concrete, oak and acacia barrels, and aged in stainless, oak and acacia barrels. We aim for the wine to be riding the line of texture and acidity, and this wine does that. You get more marzipan and creme brulee characters than in vintages past.

2020 Cuvee Papou
We’re especially excited about this library release. The 2020 Cuvee Papou has developed a beautiful flavor profile that only appears after a few years in the cellar. Lemon and lavender on the nose with honey, caramel, and a slice of apple pie on the palate.
