The 2021 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir is a blend of three vineyards made up of 10% Regan Vineyard from Corralitos, 78 % Las Nietas Vineyard from southern Corralitos and 12% Black Ridge Vineyard grown along a perpendicular mountain ridge rising above Lexington Reservoir in Los Gatos.  Each vineyard brings its own unique character to the blend. The Regan Vineyard offers bright red cherry fruit, while the Las Nietas brings an elegant, rich mouth full and light tannins to the party. The Black Ridge Vineyard contributes flavors of black cherry fruit, a softer tannic structure and a complex earthy component. Blended pinots can present a more complex flavor profile & this 2021 appellation blend delivers bigger & bolder flavors in support of our signature tagline: “My Pinot is Bigger than Yours!”.

When making a single vineyard pinot noir, it is of utmost importance to have a variety of clones. The DeCaloli Vineyard contributes an elegant touch of red cherry fruit and a long soft palate.

The 2019 Monmartre Red blend is a compilation of: 50% Cabernet Franc, 42% Estate Zinfandel, 8% Carignane.  Expressive cranberry fruit is a typical consistent aromatic of the Estate Cabernet Franc, which shows through in this blend. The Zinfandel gives us a hedonistic over the top raspberry note with a hint of black pepper spice, and the ripe dark fruits such as: blackberries and blueberries, can be attributed to the Carignane. The palate is full yet elegant and is worthy of further aging.

When making port, we wait for the Syrah to ferment down from 25% sugar to about 10% sugar. We then take the partially fermented Syrah juice from the fermenter and transfer it to a stainless-steel tank where we add the high proof brandy to arrest the fermentation. From here on, the yeast slowly die off due to the high alcohol, but they continue to ferment through another +/- 2% or 3% sugar. Once the fermentation has quieted down, it goes directly to barrel where it is aged for 3 or 4 years prior to bottling. Unlike dry table wine, the port is not topped or any sulfur added. Whereas omitting the SO2 would create a heavily oxidized wine with potential to turn rapidly into vinegar, the slow oxidation of the port creates the desired “nutty” characteristic that we associate with port: Black Currents, (Cassis), blueberries and blackberries are consistent fruit characteristics of the Syrah, and the fortification process preserves and highlights all these qualities.
