2022 Sophie’s Estate Blend

This impressive Bordeaux Blend was grown in a new vineyard on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy and is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm this vineyard to maximize quality. The 2022 vintage was challenging starting with a two week plus heat wave with temperatures above 110 F. That was followed by weeks of below normal temperatures giving the vines a chance to recover. Dark berry and barrel spice greet your nose followed by notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, and toasted marshmallow. In the mouth, lush, youthful red fruit and medium tannins make for a great wine to enjoy with a pan seared rib eye steak. 

Verde Estate Vineyard

This amazing vineyard was planted in 2009 and is located at the foothills of the southern Diablo Range. It produces grapes of incomparable depth and flavor. The grapes were hand-picked at the peak of flavor and crushed within hours of harvest to ensure the flavor was maintained.
