This California Merlot expresses aroma of deep dark cherry, blueberry, and spice. This gorgeous montage of aroma is supported by densely textured, silky body that is soft and pleasing on the palate. The quality of this wine is further demonstrated by the harmonious balance of finely polished tannin and ripe and supple fruit. All of this is beautifully held together by a pleasant acidity that makes it a favored match for well-prepared food. This merlot is a natural for grilled meats, sausages, pasta with tomato sauce, and medium to bold cheese. Try this wine with, grilled pork tenderloin rubbed with Napa Valley whole-grain mustard and rosemary.
Lean and herbal, with a thin band of green plum and cherry fruit that tastes underripe.
An exuberant expression of great Carneros Pinot Noir. Refined and elegant aromas of raspberry, cherry and red currant. This wine is beautifully subtle. Harmoniously multi-layered with oak spices of clove, all spice and smoke. Perfectly balanced with the gentle tingle of acid which keeps the berry fruit lively yet still preserving a silky texture and finish. This wine will age well.
Bright cherry and raspberry pervade this complex layered wine. Cinnamon, clove, leather, cigar box, and chocolate serve as delicious counterpoints to the red berry fruit. A serious wine with excellent color and firm yet silky tannins.

93+ POINTS, Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate, February 2005
“Possesses aromas of white flowers intermixed with spice box, licorice, black currants, raspberries, cherries, toasty oak, and background scents of volcanic/scorched earth. With lovely richness, medium to full body, impressive purity, and a long, heady finish, it should hit its peak in 3-4 years, and last through 2020+.”
A vibrant, sweet bouquet of raspberry jam, molasses and cinnamon toast evoke the senses of carefree youthful nights. Excellent oak integration provides silken tannins and spice to pair with Lodi’s unrestricted wild berry fruit.
Named for the French vine clone, 337 is an alurring expression of a California cabernet sauvignon with prestigious Bordeaux roots.
