A really nice wine that shows how well Sauvignon Blanc can grow in Livermore Valley. The wine is completely dry and quite tart in acidity, and the lemon, lime, tropical fruit and grassy flavors are enriched with notes of vanilla and buttered toast.

Occasio continues to build its case for being a winery to watch out of the Livermore Valley, releasing this lively, raspberry and honeycomb rosé made from Pinot Noir grapes out of its Del Arroyo Vineyard. The Pommard clone fruit was cold soaked in stainless steel, then pressed from the skins and racked again into stainless steel. A rosé with some meat on its bones, it’s way more than an aperitif and will stand strongly aside a full range of summer foods.

This fruity Petite Sirah has jammy flavors of blackberries, cherries, plums, currants and bacon, dusted with cocoa and black pepper. It shows the variety’s strong tannins, but is soft in acidity. A nice, full-bodied wine to drink now with barbecue.

Try this superrich wine as a twist on Chardonnay. It’s full bodied and creamy, with intricate flavors of tropical fruits, limes, oranges, white chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon spice. Straddles the border between dry and off-dry.

A dark gold Sauvignon Blanc with clean, fine notes of apricot that’s dry and has complex texture. Needs time to develop.
