Love this winery, not this particular wine. Almost effervescent.

Ripe fruit but some nice sour cherry flavors to balance it out.

My favorite of their reds. Lots of plum flavors. Would be awesome with food.

Dried cherries and dusty tannins, nice acidity, charming Cal-Ital.

Soft, supple, and a bit sweet. Wants you to order pizza and watch a romcom. Seriously, it’s that sentimental. Definitely a party pleaser.

The best yet from Sam Bilbro! Dark, plush and plummy with fine tannins and bright acid. The closest to Piedmontese Barbara as you get here in California.

Strewed plums and currants, savory wet wood, spice, violets. Really pretty and fruit forward style that shows just hints of earth
