The 2022 Titus Sauvignon Blanc was harvested on August 17th, 23rd and September 6th, a mostly mild Summer and even ripening period yielded a graceful and vibrant wine. Pretty and pure with aromas of citrus, guava, green pineapple, and white peach edging into lemongrass tinged with white flowers. Brief aging in neutral French oak barrels produced a creamy texture with crisp acidity that gives the wine focus and length. The acidity carries the wine through a bright finish filled with feijoa, passion fruit, lemon tart, and pear.

The 2022 Catie’s Corner Viognier is packed with notes of bright citrus, lemon curd, pineapple, meringue, plumeria and orange blossom. Barrel fermentation yields a smooth, long, richly viscous palate with pleasant acidity that keeps the wine bright throughout. Barlett Pear, mandarin, stone fruits, fruit tart and rich pie crust lead to a dynamic finish with honeysuckle and key lime.

Nestled high in the hills above Sonoma Valley the old dry farmed Zinfandel vines at Bald Mountain vineyard have produced a delicious supremely drinkable wine. The aromas are packed with bramble berry, dried cherry, Asian 5 spice, and cracked pepper.  Smooth on the palate with a rounded texture notes of cocktail cherry, wild berry pie, spice, dried mandarin ease into elegant tannins. Through the finish the wine is bright with lingering backing spice notes. Enjoy now through 2030.

The second release of our Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir is a delightful wine with a red fruit profile. Displaying Bing cherry, dried cranberry and lingonberry, the fruit notes meld into a bouquet of baking spice, rose hip, and Earl Grey tea aroma.  On the palate, the flavors are bright and fresh leading with pomegranate, cherry cola, a delightful floral lift that round into a smooth tannin profile. The Goldridge soils in this vineyard contribute to the elegant and refined tannins, with hints minerality and earthiness on the finish. Enjoy now through 2030.

The 2021 Malbec has a beautiful bouquet with pomegranate, raspberry, boysenberry, violets, and hints of vanilla. The silky-smooth entry leads to a seamless palate with fine tannins that give the wine a sleek structure and a core of delicious fruit. Black cherry, blackberry preserves, and mulberry greet your palate as they fade to warm spice flavors and a toasty crème brulee note on the finish. Enjoy through 2035.

The 2021 Titus Cabernet Franc is expressive, fresh and an exciting example of one of our oldest bottlings. The aromas open with French plum, cherry, and Mexican chocolate while notes of clove, nutmeg and white flower are interlaced with the fruit. The wine is smooth and almost delicate on entry with nicely integrated tannins that have a subtle grip.  Concentrated red fruits, strawberry rhubarb and dark chocolate are present leading to graphite and lavender on the finish. Enjoy through 2035.
