Our Wine
Our vineyard consists of dry, steep hills at 2,000’ elevation. The vines are warmed by sandstone, granite, and Franciscan rock and by the sun’s heat averaging 90+ degrees in the summer. Winter nights averaging 33 degrees plus snow adds complexity and vigor to spring blooms, and helps keep our natural rootstock safe.
Our Current Releases

Soft tannins, medium-bodied, and approachable, Jolie is wonderful company for any dinner. Drink now or age through 2012.

2006 “Estate” Cabernet Sauvignon
"Mom's Vintage"
2006 was a hot year with 116 degree heat. The weather produced our full-bodied Estate cab that has soft tannins and flavors of dark chocolate, blueberry, pepper, black cherry, plum, cassis, sweet tobacco, vanilla, and licorice. This vintage aged for 24 months in American, French, and Hungarian oak barrels and is unfiltered, leaving some sediment. One sip and you'll want a steak. Being young, the Estate cab will benefit from decanting and will age gracefully through 2016.

2005 “Presente” Late Harvest Cabernet Sauvignon
"Presente" means "gift" in Portuguese, and it was a gift to be able to make this dessert wine. Late harvests rely on optimal growing seasons and, well, Dad and I got hammered making this wine. Presente is that good- chocolate, strawberries, blueberries, plums, fig, and vanilla flavors make it an easy dessert pairing.

2005 “Reserve” Cabernet Sauvignon
Our First Reserve Wine
In 2005, we enjoyed an ideal season and celebrated it with harvest on Dad's birthday. The combination produced a beautiful yield of chocolate and strawberry flavors, so we decided to make our first "Reserve" wine. This unfiltered cab aged for 21 months in 100% new French Allier, Troncais, and Centre oak barrels.
