    Sanguine in pomegranate and red currant, this dark, effusive wine is generous in body and flavor, a tangle of vanilla, blueberry and cassis liqueur. Integrated in oak, the tannins take on a pillowy, plush quality that provides polish and focus to the wine. Enjoy from 2024–2034.

    Pungently earthy in forest and truffle, this is a soft, medium-built wine with a density beneath it, the palate explosively juicy in blackberry and currant. Balanced despite a significant concentration of savory fruit, it'll pair well at the table with seared and grilled meats.

    A 100% varietal wine from a prime Beckstoffer vineyard in the heart of the appellation, this aged in 100% new French oak. A robust, full-throttled wine, it's smoky in tar and baked fruit that could use some time in cellar to further develop the layers of cedar and blackberry.
