This vintage will be remembered for its ability to satisfy enophiles with its upfront drinkability coupled with layers of complexity that will reveal themselves over time in the cellar.
A beautifully refined Pinot Noir that both showcases the rich, mouth-filling fruit we are known for in California and an elegance and tannic structure second to none.
"Dark berry aromas meet with turned loam on the nose of this rich bottling. The palate is bold with blackberry, cola and oak-spice flavors, leading into a nutmeg-kissed baked-fruit finish." — Matt Kettmann, 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
"The 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon vintage was truly a “classic.” A wet, cool start to the spring delayed bud break in the Napa Valley until Mother Nature provided us with a beautifully warm, even growing season.

90 points. A crisp and clean wine basking in a soft golden hue, this medium-bodied, mineral-driven Chardonnay comes from the beautiful Sierra Mar Vineyard.
Sierra Mar Vineyard - This vineyard is planted on land that has been in the Franscioni family for three generations. Meaning “Mountain Sea” in Spanish, Sierra Mar sits at just over 1000 feet and is one of the highest altitude vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands. This high elevation paired with the naturally thin soils pave the way for low yields of highly intense fruit.
"A zesty version, with grip to the densely packed dark fruit and Asian spice flavors. Hints of dried juniper berry linger on the crisp finish." ~Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, 92 points
