The nose had cherry and raspberry, espresso and spice, and some earth at the end. The palate was smooth, with lots of acidity. It had mocha and currant, cherry and raspberry, and a lot of herbaceous spice on the finish.

Dusty approachable tannins, blackberry, cassis, tobacco. Elegant, smooth, moderately long clean finish with a hint of pepper.  Easy drinking.

Fragrant, deep, dark red, well ripened fruit: black cherry, blackberry and currant. The finish of vanilla and subtle toast lasts nice and long. This wine is unfined and minimally filtered.

Intense red color with violet hues.  Aromas of red fruits, ripe berries & plum.  Gentle and pleasant on the mouth with soft tannins and a long balanced after taste. 

Aromas of cedar, spice box, incense & black cherry lead to a racy style of Malbec with a smooth texture, intense flavors and a lengthy finish.

Hecula is a single vineyard selection of 100% Monastrell, 50% tank aged and 50% aged in French oak.  Exhibiting aromas of toasty black fruits with milk chocolate in the background, this is a super-rich effort with terrific depth and concentration for its humble price.

Thick, dense and opulent on the palate, it has gobs of savory black fruit, licorice and spice notes.  This wine has a nice lengthy finish.  This is one to buy by the case!

Pinky happily tours the back roads on her scooter, wind in her hair, and her cheeks flush with the kiss of anticipation. She is the adventurer, a blushing bride wine that tastes of sweet cherries with a dash of orange zest! Put a little Pinky in your party.

This sweet-tart Texas red has become one of our most popular wines.  It’s as sweet as a romantic evening under a big Texas sky full of stars!  Pairs great with the cowboy cuisine of Texas and Mexico too.   Try some at home, or on the trail with  your favorite ranch hand.
Saddle up!

The 2007 vintage is typical of our Zinfandel from this vineyard with a deep red/purple color and vibrant black cherry fruit. The wine displays a firm tannic structure giving it excellent aging potential.  The wine finishes with a lovely hint of white pepper spice and toasty oak.

The 337 clone is an early ripening grape with small berry clusters that deliver a bold, but luscious wine with spice and blackberry. The 337 clone is renowned for lacking the herbal and veggie characteristics that can detract from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.

A wonderful blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Fermented on the skins for 28 days using Brunello yeast, it has developed complex spicy pepper, blackberry, and vanilla tones. The first year of aging is in new French oak barrels; the second year is in new American oak barrels. Our Double Barrel Aging provides rich vanilla flavors, balanced with great fruit and medium to heavy weight in its taste and mouth feel. This smooth and silky wine is a perfect complement to beef, lamb, and fowl. “Texas Champion” in its category at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.

Coupled with a deep ruby-purple color, the aroma has a very distinctive component that is layered with hints of blueberries and oak. With lots of dark berry fruit, the palate has a richness and density that is supported by mouth coating soft tannins and a milk chocolate oak finish.

Stinger is a blend of two separate clones from two different sides of “The Knoll” Vineyard on the Margarita Ranch in the very southern end of Paso Robles, where it is cooler.  The wine is very deep in color, with bright magenta to the rim.  The aroma jumps out with African violets, pomegranates and cinnamon.  The flavor is rich, dense and fresh with vibrant flavors of red plum, pomegranates and five-spice powder.  This is a wine with real flavor that hasn’t been blended away.

Aroma: Red berries and violets. Flavor: Succulent raspberry with a hint of menthol finishing with wild berries.  Body & Color: Light-medium bodied and dark red in color.   Cooperage: 40% new French Oak barrels for 22 months.

A medium-bodied wine with strawberry and cherry fruits that are accented with delicate notes of green herb, dusty soil, leather and spice.

Aroma: Blackberry, currant, black pepper, and tobacco leaf.

Mouthfeel: Blackberry, caramel, black pepper, currant, anise, and roasted coffee.

Baciami means “Kiss Me” and so appropriate for this sweet, but not at all sappy wine made from 100% Albana grown in the DOCG region of Romagna. 

This wine reveals powerful but elegant flavors, with plummy and blackberry hints. A wonderful butterscotch and spicy notes are integrated by the subtle notes of vanilla that come from the oak aging. A full-bodied wine, with ripe tannins and voluptuous mid-palate and a long, enjoyable finish.
