This new winery has fashioned a tight, slightly tarry, nicely balanced wine. Though it’s not a big wine, it elegantly wraps together varietal flavors of blackberry and cassis with accents of earth and tar.

This is pure Cabernet from the Dionysus vineyard, and is meant to become this new winery’s flagship wine. It’s a standout debut that captures the herb, the dust and the mixed wild berries of the grape, presented in a graceful, harmonious and flavorful package.

There is a grace and power to this wine that is quite fascinating and refreshing in a world of bruising, jammy fruit bombs. Fruit flavors of plum and blueberry and cassis segue smoothly into herbal and meat flavors, then nicely rounded tannins. There are no rough edges here, but a complex wine that glides through layers of spice, fruit, earth and barrel flavors with confidence and style.

This young Riesling is quite tart, with juicy green apple flavors and lots of snappy acid. Vivid and racy, it shines with a mouth-cleansing quality that demands spicy food.

This is 100% varietal, soft and satiny, with a graceful mix of plum, blueberry and raspberry. The Sagemoor Vineyard fruit is plenty ripe but it does have suggestions of dried herb, chocolate and buttery toffee. It’s got an appealing smoothness, yet gathers itself together and holds its focus through the finish, with just enough high-toned lift to tickle the nose.

The blend is two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Petit Verdot, and the PV takes over the bouquet with bright floral aromas. There is some boysenberry fruit, with a strong herbal streak, and the tannins are slightly green and very astringent; the fruit seems buried in contrast.
