WINES
Reserve Wines
Alcaeus
Alcaeus was an Greek lyric poet who wrote much about the natural world, and now gives voice to this Cabernet Franc-based blend from Sonoma Mountain. It is full-bodied, with ripe red and black fruit layers, compelling notes of wild blueberries, kirsch and blackberry pie, with rose hip tea and cigar box overtones, and a long, layered finish framed by ripe, grainy tannins.
SAPPHO
Sappho is named after the great Greek lyric poet, who is recognized for the intensity and intimacy of her verse. This Bordeaux-style Sonoma Mountain Merlot blend is bold yet sensuous - with mouth-filling black fruit, eucalyptus and lavender scents over a core of black plums, and a firm, chewy frame.
Tò Érgon
Cab Sauvignon Tò Érgon means "the work" or "the pinnacle." This quintessential mountain Cabernet blend, from the pinnacle of Sonoma Mountain, is a broad-shouldered, muscular wine with vivacious red and black fruits on the palate, aromas of tobacco, cedar and truffles, plus a waft of faded roses, and a frame of ripe, grainy tannins.
Russian River Valley, "Alcman"
Alcman is a reserve Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley, named after the 7th century BCE Greek lyric poet. The palate is packed with black and blue fruit flavors, accented by earth and spice notes, with seductive aromas of black cherries, wild blueberries and pomegranate plus hints of baking spices, lilac, and black pepper, with a lingering grainy-tannin finish.
