Tré Terre Chardonnay is comprised of grapes from our vineyards located along the banks of the river in Russian River Valley, Sonoma County. 2018 was a very good year with ideal weather conditions for the vines. The grapes were hand harvested, whole-cluster pressed, then barrel fermented with native and cultured yeast. The wine completes 89% malolactic fermentation and is sur lee aged and stirred weekly for 5 months. The wine is then aged for 15 months in 33% new French oak and 67% older French oak. The result is a delicious, full-bodied Chardonnay with aromas and flavors of Meyer lemons, citrus, cinnamon apples, graham cracker, creamy marshmallow, apricot, lemon, brown sugar and maple spice. Tré Terre is a wine with bright fruit, nice acidity and a long, lingering finish. 91 points. California Grapevine.

The delicious Ferrari-Carano Pinot Noir is a blend of grapes from their ranches in Anderson Valley, Mendocino County.

A velvety texture and bright acidity distinguish this naturally-balanced wine. This wine pairs perfectly with salmon, fowl and meat entrees like beef bourguignon or rack of lamb.

The wine is full-bodied with layers of wild blackberry, spiced plum, molasses, sage and a hint of white peppercorn. Silky smooth tannins and a touch of cinnamon linger on the finish.

Ferrari?Carano’s Italian heritage is reflected in Siena, an easy?sipping, Sangiovese?based, red wine blend that also includes Malbec, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The long growing season in 2018 allowed the grapes time to develop color, complexity, structure and delicious flavors. Siena has delicious aromas of toasted graham cracker, plum, raspberry and mocha that leads to flavors of baked cherry pie, vanilla bean, cola and spice with sweet oak notes and hints of butterscotch lingering on the finish. Siena has supple tannins and a balanced mouthfeel with lively elegance and depth. Siena pairs perfectly with savory Italian food.
