From the glass, the wine immediately sings of black cherry and plum interlaced with creamy notes of vanilla, nutmeg and hoisin sauce. A prototypical mineral, or crushed oyster shell, component is prominent in both the aromatic and palate profiles. Zingy and refreshing on the palate with notes of clove and star anise giving way to the minerals and orange pith elements. The long finish is punctuated with hints of cocoa. A truly electric offering from Vista Verde! Learn More

A fascinating nose of black licorice, plum skin, tar, blackberries, grilled bread, talc, pine needles, mesquite, and white pepper, which pulls you deeper and deeper into the glass with every swirl. A dark, brooding and savory wine that displays the beauty of the balancing act between fruit and tannin. On the palate, this wine is all about texture: copious amounts of supple, juicy, and sweet black fruit cascade over the palate as the fine-grained tannins start at the front of the tongue and slowly move through the finish. Over time they quietly edge out the fruit, forming a gentle coating that demands a charred rare rib chop. Learn More

Fruit density from the low yielding vines and toasty notes from the barrel ferments add richness and length. For a cool climate chardonnay it displays remarkable amounts of fruit alongside the expected notes of citrus, stone and oyster shell brininess. Learn More
