OUR WINES

This Cabernet is a big, fruit forward wine. It is purple in color with tons of texture. The 2021 has aromas of blackcurrants, cassis and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is a full-bodied wine with notes of dark fruits, toasted mocha, hazelnut, and blueberries ending in a long finish with polished fine tannins. Although we make the Smokescreen wines to be drinkable at release, it can be aged for years to come.

The 2019 Chemist is a blend of GSM, Petite Sirah and our newest member, Teroldego. The Chemist has a deep, inky purple color and aromas of berry cobbler, blackberry and tobacco. On the palate the Chemist is a big, bold, racy wine with tons of black fruits, tar, graphite and a long finish with ultra-fine tannins. Although powerful, it is nuanced and elegant as Chemist fans expect, and is going to evolve gracefully.

The 2018 Russian River Pinot is a true expression of the Russian River Valley. This youthful Pinot is an explosion of bright fruit, dried strawberries, cherry, and red fruits along with notes of cola and anise. Fruity, without giving up its vital energy, this well-focused wine is full on the palate and has a rich texture. A suppleness provides it with an early accessibility. Its tannins jump out and end with a nice acidity.

On the nose there are hints of honeysuckle, lemon blossoms and a floral quality. The wine has some influence from Bordeaux by fermenting in French barrels, although totally neutral barrels, to give this release a great texture that makes it lively from the start. The palate is creamy with flavors of citrus, honeysuckle & tropical flavors finishing dry with a long lingering finish. For all of you oyster lovers, this is for you.

The 2020 is a racy Chardonnay that has a super fragrant nose with tropical fruits, pears and peach. It is a full-bodied wine that has tropical fruits, gooseberry, pear, honeysuckle and wet stone on the palate with great minerality leading to a long, satisfying finish.
