“Wines with Soul”
Look for asterisks * that denote wines that are made from
biodynamically farmed vineyards. These wines are made naturally
without the usage of herbicides or pesticides and take the current
trend of sustainable and organically grown wines to an even further
level of responsibility.

Situated just 4 miles from the Pacific Ocean in the northern reaches
of Sonoma County, Peay produces the most consistently fantastic
array of wines in the United States. Winemaker Vanessa Wong,
formerly of Peter Michael Winery, along with Nick and Andy Peay
are responsible for these extremely limited, amazing wines.

Southern Rhone
The wines of Clos St. Jean are typically old vine Grenache based
and are usually picked later than other producers. This modern
style sees some new oak on the Syrah and is ripe, rich and raisiny.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape – “Traditionalists”
Traditional older barrel fermentation, earthy, terroir driven wines
The rare “Mon Aieul” cuvee is made from old vine, low yielding,
100% Grenache and offers extraction and density with a meaty,
gamey, smoky note and incredible length.

Cabernet Sauvignon & Blends
The true definition of a limited “cult” wine, Colgin wines are intense,
deeply structured, ripe and extracted. The Herb Lamb and Tychson
Hill are single vineyard 100% Cabernets, while the Cariad is a traditional
blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
