Prosecco Extra-Dry 'Cuvée Beatrice' |
One of the best Prosecco’s we’ve tasted in a while. The nose offers beautiful pear, citrus and green apple aromas swimming in floral notes. On the palate this is a wonderfully balanced wine that you could sip all day because the long, lingering, finish leaves you wanting more and more and more! |

Rocca di Castagnoli |
Chianti Classico |
The 2023 Chianti Classico is a terrific entry-level offering. Rose petal, lavender, cinnamon and dark red/purplish fruit all meld together in this easygoing, mid-weight Chianti Classico. Vibrant saline notes support the finish. A model of balance, the 2023 is an absolute delight. |

Pursued by Bear |
Syrah 'Baby Bear' Columbia Valley |
Dark, inky, and earthy, the 2021 Syrah Baby Bear has powerful, velvety layers of black plum, wild game, and shocks of white and black pepper. Full of tension and texture, it has a kick of acidity that keeps it fresh and lively despite its inherent full-bodied power. Age 15-20 years. |

Carmenere 'Single Vineyard' Colchagua Valley |
A carmenere to put as a textbook example of the variety, this comes from Peralillo, in the center of the Colchagua Valley, and spent a year in barrels, all used oak. It's a soft and juicy wine with good balance, herbal notes, and friendly acidity that underscores the notes of red fruits. |

Lava Cap |
Chardonnay El Dorado |
Fermented and aged 50% in French and Slavonian oak and 50% in stainless steel, with half the wine undergoing malolactic fermentation. The result is a zesty, racy Chardonnay with lovely depth of fruit and layered, silky texture. The oak character is perfectly integrated, adding a subtle honeyed richness that complements rather than overshadows. From nose to finish, it offers aromas and flavours of green apple, white peach, creamy pear, jasmine, and a cool wet river rock character, all carried through to a long, saline-mineral finish. Quite a fashionable white. |

Lava Cap |
Chardonnay El Dorado |
Sourced from six Chardonnay blocks ranging from 2,400 to 2,700 feet in elevation in estate vineyards planted on volcanic soil, this intriguing medium-bodied wine displays pure notes of orchard fruits such as golden apple, fresh acidity, and a nice suggestion of saline minerality that one rarely finds in California Chardonnay. |

Lava Cap |
Cabernet Sauvignon El Dorado |
This is highly exciting Cabernet offered at a price that won't boost your blood pressure. Made from fruit grown in volcanic soils on hillside sites ranging in elevation from 2,700 to 3,100 feet (reportedly the highest-elevation Cabernet Sauvignon plantings in Northern California), it's packed with pure blackberry accented by a lip-smacking streak of saline minerality. Already quite complex in its youth, it will only improve for another five years. |

Di Giovanna |
Nerello Mascalese 'Vurria' |
The 2022 Nerello Mascalese di Giovanna Vurria is wildly fresh and pure in style, offering blackberry and sage complemented by a tinge of exotic spice. Juicy and round, it washes across the palate with mineral-inflected red and blue fruits riding a wave of juicy acidity. The finish brings a cascade of violet inner florals and a twang of sour citrus. |
