Our 2015 vintage is our smallest harvest to date, but a special one. Darker in flavor and color than other vintages, it shows intense eartly notes with an aroma of autumn forest, hints of coffee, molasses with ripe berries mingling on the palate.
The nose opens with aromas of the first ripe cherries of spring mingled with fresh rose petals. Hints of vanilla linger from our 100% Seguin Moreau French Oak barrels. Gentle cassis richness caresses the mid palate, with tea leaves, strawberry and cherry on the finish. 14.3% ABV
Paso is on a vintage "Roll", the '17, '18 and now the '19 are outstanding vintages in our 21st century's 1st decade. The 19's hue is brilliant with a slight cast of ultra violet, promising a mystical wine awaiting your first taste. Both nose and wild berry fruit palate are consistent on entry of the "Noble Fruit" sliding gently into a velvety river that flows into our Windward Vineyard's signature peacock tail finish that seems endless. Only 1120 Cases Produced. 13.8% ABV
The 2020 Vintage is a near-perfect, 20/20. Clear vision of our 30 year-old vineyard's ability to achieve it's 1990 plantings' objective: To produce a great American Burgundian-style traditional pinot noir. With it's subtle whiffs of violet aroma and ripe berry fruit on entrance, it stands as an outstanding vintage; drinking beautifully on release with an honest propensity to age and gather layered complexity with sustained balance of fruit, acidity and long phenolic finish. I am proud to recommend our 2020 Windward Vineyard Monopole for your consumption now and many years of future tasting and food pairing experiences. 13.8% ABV
This rosé was produced from our Estate Pinot Noir fruit that was hand selected and harvested early with a lower brix to highlight a crisp malic acid. This produces a more Old-world rosé feel that balances fruit, minerality, round mouth feel with a crisp finish. A nose of soft poached pear and summer rain draws you in. Pair this with a goat cheese and pear salad, grilled veggie kabobs, or salmon teriyaki. 12.5% ABV
Our Commemorative 20th Vintage, “Deuxieme Decade-XX” bottling. Intense, earthy Pinot Noir that has seductive tones of cassis that balances the fruit and adds to its layered complexity. It tastes very similar to a Nuits-Saint-George in its most successful vintages.
