We traveled out of the main wine tasting areas to get to this winery, but it was worth it. By far the most amazing views, overlooking the Sonoma lake.
We tried 8 wines, first of which was the rose sirah. It was dry, but very good. Hints of cranberry.
Second was the sauvignon blanc, with mineral and tropical fruit nose. Then was the riesling, which tasted like a German riesling but wasn't nearly as sweet at only 1% residual sugar.
The Zin was earthy and peppery, cold soaked and aged in American and French oak. The syrah was most recommended for aging. It had notes of spices like clove and allspice, with dark berry flavor.
The cab had, of course, a traditional earthy nose, with hints of coffee on the nose, but opened to a fruity and peppery finish. The petite sirah was leathery, chocolate on the nose with dark berry and currant taste.
The Zin and sirah desert wine port blend was an excellent finish. It had notes of vanilla and blueberry.
We finished the tasting by having a picnic over the gorgeous views
