The 2014 Westside Road Neighbors sings with brilliant red fruit notes of red raspberry and cranberry jumping from the glass. Refreshing flavors of Bing cherry and raspberry cling to the palate with tenacity. The mid-palate is subtly smoky and earthy with a touch of tamarind that adds to the complexity. The tannins are robust and compact but incredibly polished all the way to the mineral finish. The sheer density of this wine will require patience. 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

A truly electric offering from Vista Verde! Learn More

Blackberry, strawberry compote, and blueberry pie give this vintage a very prominent fruit character, but there is the darkness of tea leaf, humid forest, and a feral quality like the fur of an animal or the nape of a neck. Clove and cardamom are warm spice notes that give the impression of sweetness to balance the firm presence of ripe tannins. Learn More
