For six generations and over 150 years, the family has farmed their estate vineyard at the crossroads of the Sonoma Valley, Carneros and Napa Valley appellations. They focus on making small lots of ultra-premium wines from this distinctive and historic property.

The Mountain Cuvee has soft, rich aromas and flavors of juicy cherry, plum and blackberry, laced with milk chocolate and and roasted coffee bean.  This lush blend is primarily Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.  Sustainably farmed

In Chianti, wine has been produced for centuries. It is a land of ancient grace where you can still see the footprints of Etruscans and Romans. The landscape, dotted by medieval castles, holds monument to the passionate struggle between Siena and Florence for this beautiful land. From this wild land of mountains and forests, alive with history and passion, comes this Chianti Classico Riserva

This Chianti Classico Riserva has floral notes of violets and irises on the nose, with hints of earth and vines. The palate is dominated by dark, lush plums and ripe black cherries, with a slight hint of mushrooms, enveloped in soft, velvet tannins with a balanced tingle of acidity. The wine finishes with the classic Chianti Classico signature of dark chocolate and tobacco, with lingering hints of orange peel.

Cabernet Sauvignon 40%, Merlot 30%, Malbec 20%, Pinot Noir 10%

Picada 15 owes it’s name to one of the ancient roads of dust and stone that cross the arid landscapes of Patagonia, and which winds through the vineyard in San Patricio del Chanar.

This wine is fresh and expressive, each variety express its unique Patagonian personality.  Deep ruby red color.  Aromas of green pepper from the Cabernet Sauvignon together with red berries from the Merlot, and a burgundy twist.  A pleasant easy drinking wine.

 Deep, inky purple, with aromas of jammy blueberry, vanilla, caramel, and a touch of baking spice. Concentrated, soft fruit flavors of dark raspberry and blackberry sorbet are well balanced by notes of brown sugar and cedar contributed from the French oak aging. Well rounded with subtle secondary flavors as well, dark chocolate and cinnamon stick both emerge in the mid-palate. Big and full-bodied, the rich mouthfeel is enhanced by a solid backbone of tannins that finish soft, even in the wine’s youth due to minimal fining. The berry flavors linger in the finish, and balanced natural acidity makes you want to go back for another taste. With its moderate alcohol and excellent concentration, this varietal is clearly the flagship of The Crusher.

Beaujolais Nouveau fans around the world can now take their first sips of the 2011 vintage.

The wine is purple-magenta in color, with aromas of fresh dark fruit. The fruit-forward flavor shows off notes that are darker and more intense than the 2010 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau. The wine has silky flavors of fresh boysenberry, blackberry, plum, blueberry and raspberry, with a smooth mouthfeel and crisp finish.

Tasting notes::
A luscious array of dark berry fruits, hints of lavender and dried spice
Color:
Medium purple with violet around the rim.
Bouquet:
Pure fruit driven style with notes of cedar and lead pencil.

Deep red. Ripe plum and blackcurrants with spice and cigar box oak undertones. Smooth with the mouth filling palate displaying generous sweet, ripe plum andbright red berry fruits. This wine is well balanced with integrated spicy oak, fine tannins and length of fruit on the finish

Alpha Box & Dice Tarot Grenache

Bright ruby. An intensely floral nose features red berry preserves, rose, jasmine and candied licorice. Juicy and perfumed in the mouth, with a silky touch to the intense raspberry and floral pastille flavors

2009 Cooralook Pinot Noir

An elegant Pinot Noir that exhibits aromas of fresh strawberry, raspberry and red cherry. This well structured wine with soft middle palate leaves you with a velvety silk mouth feel

More ruby in color then purple. On the nose, I get aromas of dried fruits–cherries and blueberries. Walnuts and dill. Lots of layers on this one. The fruit is actually pretty subtle, dried plums and cherry. The walnuts are pretty prevalent in this one, along with the dill and some white pepper. The finish is peppery and smooth

A lighter purple color that can be seen through. The nose opens up with cherry cola, barnyard and earth. Medium acid with soft tannins. The palate concurs with the nose, although there are strawberry flavors on the tart finish. A little more earth driven than a typical California Pinot Noir. Hints of all-spice, vanilla, cinnamon and rosemary on the finish

Pinot likes an even cooler spot than Chardonnay. Pinot Noir grapes are thin skined and don’t care much for mid-day heat, so the vineyards are planted closer to the source of cool Pacific air and higher on the hillsides, thereby protecting and enhancing the subtle Pinot fruit flavors. Santa Maria hills provide such a location. This delicate feminine Pinot is made in the best traditional style. Our Pinot is perfect for casual sipping and pairs with a wider variety of food than any other wine

Our 2010 Pinot Noir delivers a light, elegant palate and lovely perfume of strawberries, cloves, tea leaves, and violets. Its vibrant flavors of raspberries and cherries are highlighted by notes of vanilla and sandalwood, which makes for a nuanced wine that is both lively and versatile

Charles & Charles Winery – A collaboration founded in 2008 between Food & Wine Magazine 2009 Winemaker of the year, Charles Smith (K Vintners, Charles Smith Wines) and Charles Bieler (Three Thieves, BIELER Pere et Fils, Sombra mezcal). The label is an abstract play on the American Flag done by the well loved and historic Nashville, TN poster shop, Hatch Show Print.

50% cabernet sauvignon and 50% syrah. All the fruit is grown in the Wahluke Slope AVA (Columbia Valley) by the Milbrandt family. The wine is dark, almost black, with a brooding nose of blackberry, cranberry, tobacco and sweet oak. The fruit carries through on the palette where you also find great texture, soft tannins and a long finish. The cabernet sauvignon was raised in 1-3 year old French oak barrels and the syrah was fermented and aged in stainless steel

DEEP PURPLE. Complex, rich and explosive. Think blackberry, violets, lavender and earth. So smooth. THIS WINE ROCKS

Mariposa is made of Bracchetto grapes.  Its distinctive rose leaf color and wild roses scent is completed by a delicate but vivid taste of rose canina and raspberries. 
Excellent with chocolate desserts or as a refreshing apertif
