United States Wine

Aromas of vanilla, cracked black pepper and dark damson fruit. On the palate this wine is round and fleshy, beautifully balanced and packed full with robust red fruit flavours and a lick of oak.

Eshcol was the original name of the estate. First planted in the 1800s, the wines made here helped establish Napa’s early reputation for quality. Eshcol Red is an authentic Bordeaux-style blend sourced primarily from the younger blocks of the main ranch.

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc

This red blend opens with bold fruit-forward aromas of blackberry and dried cherry. On the palate, bright red fruit gives way to modest tannins and nicely balanced acidity, making it ready to open for almost any occasion.

Syrah from Lodi is a bit of an oddity. This one comes from a 16-acre vineyard planted in ’94, when Steve and Lori Felton switched from contract grape growing to winemaking. They named it after their daughter, who, aged nine, declared she’d be the one to look after it. Big and bold, it’s less aggressive than a Barossa Shiraz (despite its 15.2% ABV), sharing the same rich, extracted fruit but with a smoother mouthfeel and silky finish. Though recent vintages have been scooping up medals, Lodi Syrah still hasn’t caught on in the US—so for once we benefit from American ignorance and can offer it well below its true worth. Enjoy

Liberty School Chardonnay is sourced from key vineyard sites along California's Central Coast. Our vineyards in Paicines and Paso Robles give body and richness to the wine, while vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands add elegance, acidity and a tropical character. Santa Barbara County and Santa Maria Valley vineyards contribute roundness, making for a well-balanced Chardonnay with excellent varietal expression.

Beautiful pale gold. On the nose fresh aromas of lemon peel and pear are accented by notes of caramel that add a touch of richness. Bright stone fruit flavours of apricot and nectarine are balanced with a splash of citrus and creamy vanilla undertones, adding a silky texture to the wine.

Comprised of varietals that flourish in Paso Robles’ distinct growing region, Troublemaker consists of Syrah, Grenache, Mourve'dre Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. Syrah is the backbone of the wine, setting the stage for a fruit-forward style and a full body. Sweet and bright red fruit flavors of Grenache blend with the rustic and lively flavors of the Mourve'dre. The Zinfandel adds its signature zing to round out the blend and Petite Sirah contributes to the deep ruby color.

This intensely rich wine is deep purple in color and radiates aromas of black fruit, cherry and spicy black pepper. On the palate, loads of vanilla, caramel and black current gracefully evolve into soft supple tannins and a signature zing that balances the wine.
