Presents a distinctive mix of raspberry and huckleberry flavors that border on jammy, shaded by smoky, toasty oak. Turns graceful and elegant, with supple, refined tannins and lingering flavors of herb and black olive.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Samantha’s Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color. Crushed black cherries, black raspberries, and mulberries scents leap from the glass, followed by a profound core of warm cassis, dark chocolate, Indian spices, and menthol with a waft of licorice. The full-bodied palate delivers amazing intensity and brightness with beautiful tension and a grainy texture, featuring loads of black, red, and blue fruit layers, finishing long and minerally. It has that red-fruited, earlier harvest vivacity with nicely ripe tannins—delicious!

There’s a menthol cast to the cherry and raspberry fruit in this red, all backed by a line of stiff, compact tannins. Nonetheless, the finish on this is extremely long, with the fruit and savory essence persisting alongside a mineral hint. Best from 2029 through 2046. 1,250 cases made, 333 cases imported.

"The 2018 Etna Rosso Contrada Crasà pulls me close with depths of ashen stone, crushed black cherries and dried roses. This is silky and pliant in feel, with mineral-tinged red berries and zesty acidity that build a reverberation of tension with each sip. It leaves a coating of grippy tannins through the finale, while maintaining admirable freshness. As pretty as the Crasà Contrada is today, the best is surely yet to come."

The 2022 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico entices with a heavily spiced bouquet as cedar box and clove give way to crushed blackberries and nuances of coconut. It is silken and elegant in feel, with depths of ripe red berry fruits offset by a bitter tinge of dark chocolate and citrus. The finish is gently structured and long, with a twang of blood orange that resonates.

A solid and structured red with bright red and dark berry character and notes of dried orange peel, toasted cedar and crushed stones. Full-bodied, firm and persistent on the palate. Deep and layered with a velvety finish. Drink or hold.

"Soft and supple aromas of black currants, dark chocolate, black olives, potpourri and graphite. The palate is smooth and textural, with firmly framed tannins, bright acidity and a long finish. A lovely blend of 81% cabernet sauvignon with small amounts of the other four Bordeaux varieties. Drink or hold." - Ryan Montgomery

"Firm and dry, this wine shows more than its 10 years of aging. It has acidity as much as fruit, along with strong wood-aged flavors that push the spirit forward. At the end, it is all about the acidity and old wood flavors."

The 2024 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is soft-textured, elegant and quite floral in character. Delicate nuances of rosewater, tart red cherry, cedar and lavender blossom slowly, remaining quite understated through and through.

Stunning, this distinct, expressive white shows aromatic lemon blossom, wildflower honey, dried ginger and buttered brioche flavors, with fleshy mango, tangerine and lemon curd notes at the core. This wine's flavors stay fresh, thanks to mouthwatering acidity, while hints of toasted, salted almond linger on the finish. Drink now through 2033. 445 cases made.
