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 cherry, cassis, spice, and leather along with its bold tannins.

This Merlot is not your typical "wimpy" Merlot. Our Merlot has bold aromas and flavors of cherry, raspberry, cedar, and mocha with
smooth tannins and a soft finish. Although Merlot is not one of our most exotic wines, it will likely be one of your favorite wines.

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.
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.

This red wine was blended to express the best varietal traits of Syrah, Petit Syrah, and Tempranillo. By aging these three wines in Oak Barrels and blending them together we were able to craft a sultry wine full of dark fruits and toasted oak.
