Harvest Case (12 bottles)

This is the kind of wine that you could drink after mowing the lawn. It is just so refreshing, crisp and easy-drinking!" Citrus · Refreshing · Mineral. Nestled about 2 miles south of Clear Lake and about 1 mile west of Mt. Konocti, a dormant volcano that towers above the entire region, the Rooster Vineyard sits atop alluvial deposits at an altitude of 1,360 feet — perfect for growing a beautifully balanced Sauvignon Blanc with good maturation and minerality. The grapes are pressed very gently, keeping just juice from the heart of the cycle, then fermented 50 to 60 days in stainless steel tanks at very cool temperatures. Minimally aged and sent to bottle as fresh as possible. Opens with bright grassy and boxwood notes and a ripe passion fruit aroma, very crisp and bright with crunchy acidity, hints of fresh-cut bell pepper, and a long finish reminiscent of fresh squeezed lemonade. Pairs best with ceviche, tuna poke bowl, green papaya salad, or grilled pineapple.

The ‘24 Rosé is a masterful blend of wild strawberries, lychee and fresh-cut flowers on the nose. On the palate you discover complex floral qualities (hibiscus and rose) with sleek minerality and a bold bright finish.

The nose is a perfumy mix of dried flowers, culinary herbs, frankincense and myrrh, with threads of peppercorn and baking spice.  In the mouth, we find notes of caramel, juicy, muddled berries and butterscotch candies.  The wine is lighter bodied, with a fine grained tannin and present acidity.  The finish is a long, lingering affair with hints of pink peppercorn and strawberries with cream.

Bright and expressive, this Carmel Valley Chardonnay opens with aromas of chalky citrus pith, ripe pear, and golden apple, lifted by atomic acidity. A gentle toasted note reminiscent of warm brioche and lightly roasted almonds — adds depth and texture, while a mineral-driven finish keeps the wine focused, elegant, and refreshingly balanced.

On the nose, this wine calls to mind all the aromas of Autumn, with aromas of squash blossom, coriander, freshly raked leaves and butterscotch.  This character follows through into the mouth, where it is joined by a thread of juicy, ripe melon and orange peel, with a surprisingly good body that holds together a weighty, yet refined mouthfeel.  The finish is long and mineral / citrus.

Aromas of fresh apricot, butter croissant, nutmeg and baking spice pour from the glass, and upon deeper investigation the wine calls to mind a wintertime walk through an aspen forest. In the mouth, the wine is opulent, round and full-bodied - brimming with notes of buttercream frosting, butterscotch and caramel, surrounded by a delicate hints of chamomile.  The mouth-watering finish is incredibly long, with notes of apricot, vanilla and toasted bread. 

Intensely aromatic, complex and powerful.  Notes of hardwoods, baking spice, peppercorn and red fruit mingle in the nose.  In the mouth, the wine is precisely balanced, with great structure and a healthy acidity that mellows into a very pleasant mid-pallet weight on the second sip.  Myriad fruit notes dance across the tongue - everything from fresh cranberries to plum jam and dried cherries.  The dazzlingly long and soft finish provides a congenial refrain of each verse in this melody and every return trip to the glass shows something new.

This is a dynamic and evolving wine, offering a symphony of complex flavors. On the nose, it reveals smoky blackberry jam, black cherry, cassis, and layers of cocoa, black licorice, and pepper. The palate is fresh and vibrant, underscored by earthy notes of black truffle and crushed rock. Its hallmark balance and minerality shine through, with the rich fruit seamlessly integrated with subtle oak. This depth and harmony preserve the wine's varietal character, making it a standout expression of Syrah.

The nose of this wine is classic Napa Cab - roasted peppers, cocoa nibs, sour cherry jam, stewed plums, and tar.  In the mouth, this wine feel like high quality corduroy - peaks and valleys of grainy tannin, with a soft, velvety weight.  We also see  a few new characters joining the party, with hints of black cherry and vanilla bean.  On its long, drawn out finish, the wine showcases notes of vanilla, raspberry jam and brown spice.
