The Tempranillo grape is from Spain so we thought the Spanish translation for dessert wine, "Vino de Postre", was a very fitting name. This port-style wine is made with our 2010 Tempranillo grapes with luscious aromas of cordial cherries, cassis liqueur, vanilla and subtle notes of clove.
Our Black Hat Tempranillo is the star of our mature red wines! Our winemakers battle to balance the glorious aromas and flavors of blackberries, cocoa and cherries that mingle with cedar, clove and dusty tannins leading to a silky finish.

Edgy yet smooth, Tatoo is our artistic expression of the Cabernet Franc grape. This is one of our most treasured varieties in the vineyard and deserves all the attention and admiration it receives. Our Cab Franc is a very elegant wine that pairs well with food. Vibrant aromas of cherries, cassis and mocha on the nose and a broad mouth-feel of ripe red fruit and chilies leads to a finish of white pepper and vanilla accents.

This Estate grown Pinot Grigio was hand-picked five weeks after our regular Pinot Grigio resulting in concentrated sugars, flavors, and aromas. This small lot dessert wine was fermented on the skins of the Pinot Grigio grapes which are naturally colored and resulted in a pale copper hue. By harvesting late and fermenting on the skins we produced a rich and colorful dessert wine loaded with flavors of candied apricots, honeycomb and peaches and cream.
This medium bodied red opens with vanilla, baking spice, blackberries, and cassis on the nose. Ripe cherries & mixed berries dance with smooth, sweet tannins on the palate.
Nero d'Avola ("nair-oh-davo-la"), a native of Sicily, has been thriving in our vineyards. Being the last grape out of the vineyard our Nero d'Avola produces a full bodied red wine with superbly bold fruit and spice.

Dried apricot and super-ripe loquat mingle with white cherries and sage honey in its unique skin, fermented white wine. With bold structure and a lingering finish, it's a white wine that thinks it's a red!
Ultra-ripe plum and cherry kirsch accented by black pepper and star anise draw you in. Bold, black and blueberries with hints of cinnamon round out this balanced blend.
Aromas of honeysuckle, wild daffodils, and orange blossoms leap from the grass while flavors of keylime, lemon custard, and fresh sweet apricot dance across the voluptuos palate.
