Our Retaggio pays homage to the Italian traditions of always having a high-quality delicious table wine with dinner. This super Tuscan inspired blend is 46% Sangiovese, 29% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Opening notes of black cherry, leather, black olive and violets give way to an attack that is smooth, refined and silky. Medium bodied in weight, the structure is robust with chalky tannins, finishing long and persistent.
Our flagship Cabernet opens up with notes of blackberry, black cherry, licorice, and espresso bean. This full bodied wine has a powerfully structured periphery showcasing refined tannins that frame a dense juicy core. Robust and elegant at once, this wine embodies the delicate balance of finesse and opulence. As it opens, spearmint and dark chocolate appear. Very lightly fined and bottled unfiltered, this Cabernet is a true expression of our Dr. Crane Vineyard site.
Our Three D is a unique selection of our finest Cabernet barrels of the vintage. Meticulously layered, aromas of plum, brambly fruit, fresh tobacco leaf, and a hint of clove are featured. The palate boasts fine grained, chalky tannins that surround a silky voluptuous middle. Seamless and mouth-coating, wild raspberry and black olive reveal themselves on the back end of the lingering finish. Completely unadulterated, this Cab was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
A Salvestrin family favorite, our sangiovese opens with bright aromas of dried cranberry, cherry turnovers and hints of vanilla. A soft entry leads to a full, rich texture of concentrated red fruits. Lucious and mouthcoating, this wine finishes with bright red fruit and baking spices. The food friendly nature of Sangiovese will have you turning to this wine again and again.

Extremely limited production. Our 100% Petite sirah is rich, opulent and deeply concentrated. Aromas of ripe blackberry and toasty barrel notes at the start are then complemented on the palate by ripe dark fruit, cocoa and black licorice with an elegantly enduring finish.
Our 2019 Sauvignon Blanc reflects the perfection of the beautiful growing season we experienced last year. Brilliant aromas pineapple, citrus, green apple, and mineral notes emanate from the glass. Vibrant acidity leads to a lush concentrated and full mid-palate that reveals substantial weight on the back end. A full rich ripe finish rounds out the experience with great length of ripe apricot, white peach, and stones.
Enjoy with great food, great friends, and great weather!
