This wine is made from a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by smaller percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the lot aged almost two years in 75% new French oak. It presents itself as a classic example of the vintage and the valley, robustly bold and approachable in sage and red berry with a sturdy, sizable structure. Learn More

Dark cherry notes lead from the glass and are leavened by hints of dried thyme and mandarin orange juice. The power-packed palate reveals this wines true heritage and breed. There is an immediate lift of raspberry on the entry and then the fine, expressive tannins unfold and saturate the palate. Wood spices and a prominent finish of clove and Russian caravan tea round out the wine… a superb Rochioli Riverblock Pinot Noir, which will require a bit of patience. Learn More

The winery at Checkerboard is a small building reflecting a 'four-poster’ barn style found in early New England. We did not want a large building impacting the quiet and natural surrounding environment. As a result Steph Martin designed an attractive, yet functional winery that does not detract from the stunning nature of Checkerboard. Learn More

The 2006 Cab. Sauv. is dark ruby in color with aromas of black cherries, cola, cedar and spice, quite layered and complex. This wine has an extremely silky, velvety mouthfeel and flavors of black cherry, berry, and cassis. Hints of sweet toasty French oak add to the overall deliciousness of the wine. Wonderful purity and balance. The flavors and finish persist for several minutes. A beautiful wine that simply flows across the palate. Yum! (A technical term) Learn More

The hits from this vineyard keep on coming and this deep, brooding offering is no exception. To bring out the best of this site, a blend using 6 different clones is made. Fresh notes of rose petal are complemented by an array of red fruits and hints of blood orange. In the mouth, the cherry flavors take over and elements of nutmeg, and subtle hints of vanilla, perfectly balance the palate. Persistent tannin throughout the palate suggests that patience will be required. Learn More

Medium red, a bit darker than the Coteaux Nobles. Less fruity and spicy on the nose today, with the strawberry and cherry aromas currently dominated by mocha, graphite and leather.
