Featured Library Wines

2019 divergent vine “Shake Ridge Ranch” Zinfandel - grown in high elevation, this alpine Zinfandel has aged beautifully and is starting to show its lovely secondary fruit characteristics as well as bright, fresh acidity.

2014 Conduit Sonoma County Cab Franc/Merlot blend - this is a wine I knew I would be drinking for years (if not decades) to come. Only 43 cases produced of this special “Left Bank Bordeaux” inspired red blend. I aged this wine for three years in barrel and an additional 2 years in bottle prior to releasing in 2019. Now, at a full nine years of age, this special and personal pet-project wine continues to impress me as it improve with time.
