2004 Confluence, Old Mill vineyard, Humboldt County- This was our first “Confluence blend” from our origional vineyard, Old Mill. The vines were organically farmed and own rooted. Picked at an average of 24.2 brix, it is 13.8%, this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, is aging really well. This has taken on nice secondary characters from 20 years in the bottle. Dark fruits are still plush, with nice remaining acidity and resolved tannin structure. We pulled out the last three cases of this in our storage and I’m offering the last 36 btls in this pack. Aged 24 months in neutral French oak.

2008 Klamath Cuvee, Humboldt County- 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 25% Syrah. This was intended to be the 2008 Confluence. We made this similar blend in past years, but we weren’t able to access the fruit of the three vineyards this blend was sourced from, going forward. The Cabernet was from a tiny, half acre 20 year old vineyard, right next to our estate vineyard. The Merlot was from our Old Mill vineyard. The Syrah was from “Henderson Hill” vineyard i helped a friend plant just up river from us in 2001.

2010 Confluence, Pierce Ranch- 40% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 8% Petite verdot- This wine has been so fun to watch evolve.

The grapes from the “Ishi Pishi” Pierce ranch, came in with lower than normal sugar levels (22-23 brix). along with the bright red and purple fruits, It has an interesting sun dried, Early girl tomato flavor, wet cement, black currant, bing cherry, with a bit of an herby finish.

- 2016 Anderson Valley- Day Ranch Valley Foothills vineyard
Lost Coast vineyard, planted in 1998, is 2.8 miles miles from the ocean in Petrolia, Humboldt county. The volcanic soils and strong cold winds control vigor and make for small yields of thick skins. The Pinots from this site are very woodsy, with forest floor, mushroom and spice on the nose. They’re structured but very light in texture, with bright strawberry, and cherry. This is cold climate Pinot. The 17 vintage was picked Oct. 22nd, beautifully ripe at 22.5 brix, 13.2% alc.
Elk Prairie was planted in 1993 to the Martini clone with the intention of making sparkling wine, as southern Humboldt was a pretty cold wet place to ripen red Pinot. In 1998 an additional 4 acres we’re planted to French clones 115, 777, and pommard 2. This vineyard is dry farmed and situated just above the fog line 8.5 miles from the Pacific in the Fruitland ridge area in Southern Humboldt.

2018 Zinfandel Humboldt
Our 2018 ZInfandel Humboldt was a year marked by thick skins and smaller berries. The summer was quite warm, yet led into a cool, long fall. This 18 has really interesting character. I liken it to a Carignan based southern Rhone, while Brigg Campbell describes it as a southern Italian style. “like a Nerello Macalese, or a southern Italian Pinot Noir, Sangiovese blend”. It has firm structure, with nice sandle wood, strawberry, cherry, and dry leaves. 13.8% alc 91.3 pts CT -
2019 Zinfandel, Humboldt
This 2019 ZInfandel has a really clean, pure raspberry nose, with a savory, high acid, red fruited profile. Its lower alcohol and bright acid make it juicy and light, yet with rich fruit flavor. I love these 19s. They are what ive always strived to produce and show the capability of ZInfandel, picked at much lower sugar levels, to produce stunning varietal character and a long agibilty potential. 13.6% alc 125 cases produced -
2019 Zinfandel, Marier- 90% Zin 10% Viognier co fermented

New Syrah Pack- $90
- 2- 2021 Kimberlys
- 1- 2019 Humboldt
We finally pleased to release our much anticipated 2021 Kimberlys Syrah. This, objectively, is our best to date. It is a throwback to the 2006 version, which produced the “one barrel, bacon fat”. Its concentrated, yet has such impecable balance. The acidity carries the dense boysenberry and black raspberry fruit. It has loads of bacon fat, pan drippings, country baked ham and white pepper. The finish is over a minute long and is extremely luxurious. I couldnt imagine it being much better. Aged 22 months in mostly neutral French oak. 14.2% alc. Enjoy!
The 2019 Humboldt was from a cooler fall. It is more Cornas in Character with its red fruits, ollive brine, a bit of iodine, and black pepper. It too has nice concentration but feels lighter on its feet. Its a blend of our estate “winery block” and our Marier vineyard. Aged 30 months in Neutral French oak. 13.8% alc
Old ZIn 3 pack- $80
These are from the dry farmed head pruned vines in the old Mill vineyard i planted in 1998, and the 2009 Tributary ZIn is from the “ishi Pishi” Pierce ranch in Orleans.
- 2004 ZInfandel, Humboldt - Fully into the stage of secondary and tertiary aromas and flavors with graphite, pencil lead, amd red currant. still holding its bright Zinny fruit, the palate is still really nice with red cherry and candied orange rind. Finish is long. Still bright and very clean
- 2007 Zinfandel Tributary- Old Mill vineyard
- 2009 Zinfandel Tributary- Pierce Ranch
These two Tributary blends show how well Zinfandel can age and turn into a very complex multilayered wine. These two still have nice red fruit and good concentration but now resemble aged Brunello or Montepulciano in character. its been fun watching them mature and they are now all in their drinking window, for those who like complex, aged ZIns.
Thank you so much for your consideration and support over the years.
