Fresh, bright fruit flavors and aromatics: green melon, tart guava, kafir lime, slightly underripe apricots. Minerality shines through from beginning to end and picks up on the long finish. A little bit of body and great texture, a precise and focused wine with just the right amount of weight and richness. Great fruit through finish, white nectarines, white peaches, kiwi. -Matt Brady, Winemaker

There’s some slight ‘gamay funk’ that blows off after being opened, and then there’s lots of beautiful fruit and freshness in there (also, personal confession….I like the funk).  Pomegranate, huge bright red cherries, all densely flavored but still juicy, light, and fresh.  Fine tannins on the back end give this wine sticking power and length.  This wine can be a ‘porch-pounder’, but it doesn’t have to be.   Great balance, super versatile food-pairing wine, with bright acid cutting through the mid-palate. - Matt Brady, Winemaker

The 2020 Syrah - Carbonic from Rancho Boa Vista Vineyard is an electrically magenta, powerfully aromatic, mineral-driven wine that can be served cellar temperature or chilled on a hot day. On the nose there are notes of pepper, fresh, dark fruit and chaparral, on the palate a mouth-coating texture and light, fine-grained tannins support a very pure red fruit flavor of pomegranate that lingers with a long finish. This is a perfect summer grilling wine, and will compliment anything that comes off the barbecue. -Lily Hays, Director of Hospitality and Education

Holiday spices with ripe stone fruit, aromatics of apricot, white peach, and nectarine with a smooth mouth coating texture. This wine has weight without being viscous or heavy; making it a balanced and versitile pairing with your favorite dessert courses. -Matt Brady, Winemaker
