This wine is silky and harmonious with a dark ruby color and graceful tannins. Pretty aromas of bright cherry and blackberry are accented by a light toastiness from French oak and a touch of freshly grated nutmeg. The elegant aromatics give way to classic Pinot Noir fruit flavors of cherry and blackberry enveloped in a silky, seamless texture. While the fruit forward characteristics of this wine make it enjoyable upon release, extended cellar aging for six years or more will promote even more depth and complexity in both flavor and aromatics.

Huge, bright fruit grabs you with this 2010 Zinfandel from the Dusi Vineyard. The mid-palate is heightened with spicy anise and a lasting finish. The balance of texture and acidity produces a round silky sensation on your palate. A multiplicity of oak barrels has lead to an old world styled Zinfandel rendering structure but holding onto great finesse.

97-99 Points - Wine Advocate

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard, a larger site on Howell Mountain, possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as an extraordinary nose of spring flowers intermixed with blueberries, black raspberries, wet rocks and spice box. Deep, full-bodied, rich and intense, this gorgeous effort again demonstrates what brilliant winemaking and a top-notch terroir can produce. It should drink well for 15-20 years.

Estate field blend: as nature and the vineyard gave us– 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah

Dark violet in the glass, aromas of chalk, cocoa powder, leather and blackberries. While very concentrated, the wine shows perfect balance. It’s very polished and restrained with subtle hints of tart red raspberries, baked strawberries, dark chocolate and fresh figs. Long finish with notes of dried herbs, dried fruit and black tea.
