Apples and citrus make for a common nose, while the palate is pure Granny Smith with a spot of lemon-lime. Crisp as a razor on the finish, with green herb and citrus as the lasting notes.

Mostly Cabernet, with some Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cab Franc, the wine is sweet, spicy and oak layered. It’s like a fruit pie, yet with some robust edges. Deep colored with lively fruit, it almost bursts from the glass. Chocolaty, tarry notes. Definitely the “Cal” part of any Cal-Ital notions for this new line of wines.

Made from Calistoga grapes, this is a dark, deep-violet colored wine. The compact bouquet is fresh and ripe, offering lots of plummy fruit. Juicy like the Dolcetto that follows, the tannins and creaminess combine nicely in the mouth. Coarse tannins make it Petite Sirah-like.

Bright and full, this is loaded with high-toned red fruit. Big and oaky in the nose, there’s plenty of acidity. A juicy wine with no mean tannins. Pleasing and straightforward. Piedmont comes to California.
