• 2022 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir - released in the spring

  Oh, let me count the ways I love you. I wouldn’t hesitate to compare this wine to bottles that are three times more expensive. The aromatics of deeply perfumed lavender and lilac explode from the glass. That first sip reaffirms what your olfactory has alerted you to – gobs of pure, briary black and blue fruit envelop your palate. The finish is laced with minerality, richness, and overlapping blue fruit and savor spices. It’s creamy and long. This is an intense, yet complex wine, fresh, and elegant. If you open a bottle within a year after receiving this wine, pull the cork and let it breathe for an hour before drinking for maximum enjoyment.

• 2022 Resilience Pinot Noir - released in the fall

  Sta. Rita Hills

  Expand
  Curvaceous and sultry. Hints of pomegranate and wild raspberry on the nose. The midpalate is enveloped with a wave of rich strawberry and notes of cream…reminiscent of a decadent strawberry shortcake with homemade whip cream and a hint of orange zest. Unfiltered and unfined, the silky fruit textures soak in, caress, and slides effortlessly to the back of the palate. Pound cake comes to mind with notes of drawn butter, vanilla, and subtle baking spices that meld with the beautiful fresh fruit characters into a lengthy finish. Stunning. Beyond excited to continue to create our interpretation of Pinot Noir with our vineyard partners in the Sta. Rita Hills!

• 2022 Truth & Valor Pinot Noir - released in the fall

  Sonoma Coast

  Expand
  Pure and focused. It’s a laser beam of delicious flavor. While the Sonoma Coast appellation pinot noir is more complex, this bottling is from two high altitude vineyards and is more focused. A bit more tannin, but an expansive mouthful of fruit. It’s big and yet delicate. The overwhelming flavors of blueberry are undeniable. Pure and blue, with a touch of boysenberry. It’s unfiltered and unfined. The intensity of flavors unites and delivers a silky/lengthy finish that lingers on…and on…

• 2022 Sauvés La Vie Pinot Noir - released in the spring

  Russian River Valley

  Expand
  Soulful, sexy, and full of love. Briary with lush aromatics of boysenberry & cherry compote. This wine is unfiltered, unfined, and has a velvety texture as it flows over the palate. Bright raspberry notes emerge and intensify. The finish is long and creamy. Truly delicious. This is the sixth vintage of our Sauvés La Vie Proprietary Blend. For our Proprietary Blend series of wines, we wanted to create wines with names that have meaning and connection to us. The name of this wine is a tribute to the owner of the vineyard. To that end, Sauvés La Vie is the French term for “life saver.” We started using fruit from the Lauterbach Vineyard in 2017. Coincidentally, Stew Lauterbach was one of the emergency room doctors (as well as Dr. Lela Emad) that saved my wife Jen’s life after she delivered our daughter, Emma in 2007. As for the vineyard, it is farmed to a high level by our dear friend, the masterful, Lee Martinelli.
