We're a little over a month out from the only off site tasting we attend!

If you are in the Southern California area, please check out A Taste of Camarillo. It's a wonderful event that supports some great causes.

We'll be pouring the 2021 Barbera, 2019 Tre Sorelle and the 2021 Zinfandel. If you buy the Golden Taste for early entry, we'll have the 2020 Sangiovese too!

Be sure to stop by and say hi to Laurie and taste some wonderful wine.

After a little debate, we've added the 2023 Zinfandel to the tasting list!

This wine is light and crisp with notes of cranberry, raspberry and warm baking spices. It's perfect for a warm summer day and even tastes delicious served slightly chilled.

Come by and try it and let us know what you think!

We're doing inside work today since the summer heat has finally arrived!

We tasted the 2024 Cabernet Franc today. It was a quick tasting since there were only 5 barrels!

The 100% Cabernet Franc will be released this fall and it's tasting fruity and fairly drinkable (for a young Cabernet Franc anyway).

We'll be getting those barrels in the tank soon but for now they're going to keep resting.

It's going to be a beautiful day!

Late spring is a wonderful time of year in the vineyard.

The vines are growing, it's not too hot, the views go for miles.

It's hard for us to stop and enjoy it sometimes but every once in a while one view makes us pause and appreciate that we get to see this every day.

Let us know which view is your favorite!

On this last weekend of May, we pulled out the 2013 Charbono.

This wine still has lots of fruit and a full but smooth body. While it could probably age a little longer, it was delicious as soon as it was opened so no one but Carol would say you should age it more.

Come by and try it if you're in the area!

We're getting ready to rack the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva and Tre Sorelle into tanks. We needed to decide which Cabernet Sauvignon barrels to put in the Riserva and which to put in the Tre Sorelle. That was a fairly easy decision considering there are only 6 barrels.

Then there was a long consideration of adjusting the blend of the Tre Sorelle since we're making half our normal amount. We needed to decide if we should stick with the usual 11% Cabernet Franc, which means using half a barrel, or to use the whole barrel and increase the Cabernet Franc to 20%.

After getting out the graduated cylinder for precise measurements, we decided we preferred the higher Cabernet Franc percent since it made the wine richer and more full bodied. The 2022 Cabernet Franc is still really tannic!

The 2022 Tre Sorelle and Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva will both be released this fall to our wine club, so members, be on the lookout for them!

Happy Memorial Day!

We hope everyone enjoys their day off and takes a moment to thank those that served.

We offer a 20% discount to all active and former military members. It's a small way we can say thank you for your service.

It's Barbera-palooza here this weekend!

We'll be pouring four of our Barberas for you to try.

2012 Barbera is mellow and smooth with rich cherry and mushroom notes.

2017 Barbera is still a little young, so slightly tannic with lots of cherry.

2019 Barbera is young and very robust with lots of sweet cherry.

2022 Barbera is the baby of the group, having just been bottled this past February. It is heavy, tannnic and in need of several years of bottle age.

Come give them all a try and see which you like the best!

Vineyard check: berry set

Not every flower that blooms makes a grape berry. These photos show the Cabernet Sauvignon grape clusters and how few of the flowers made berries. This is very common for Cab.

The very different looking cluster is Barbera. You can see that there are very few missing berries and that the berries are already much larger than the Cabernet Sauvignon.

While out in the vineyard I frequently play the game of "where's my coffee cup?" This time I was smart and left it up high on the end post so it only took me 10 minutes to find instead of half an hour.
