Our goal is to create a wine that is a balance of Old and New World in impression i.e., the fruit is deemphasized in the aroma, but the mouth is rich and flavorful without being too heavy. The 2018 vintage of Lone Acre Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a dark garnet color, with a nose showing blueberry and blackberry fruits along with exotic barrel spice. Refreshing acidity, fine-grain tannins, and layered flavors on the palate lead to a lengthy finish.

Our 2018 Zinfandel is a classic old-world style; loaded with spiced aromas of clove and cumin. As the nose opens up hints of dark plum and black currant emerge. The palate is dominated by black olive and jalapeño with a black cherry aftertaste.

The 2019 Kuleto Estate Chardonnay exudes aromas of roasted butternut squash and oak, which give way to juicy, fruity flavors of pineapple. The French oak shines through on the palate creating a silky smooth vanilla finish.

Wine lots and barrels selected for our ‘El Coyote’ Cabernet Sauvignon don’t necessarily come from a particular spot on the estate ( à la Vineyard Designate), but rather share common flavor and structural attributes that highlight the dark, meaty, rich, black fruit aspects of the variety. To further highlight these characters, we often co-ferment with varieties that share these same qualities.

The 2021 Rosato is a Saignée style Rosé, resulting in a darker pink color. The nose exudes aromas of sweet cherry, strawberry candy, apricot, and rose petal. The palate is dry yet juicy with an elegant texture and a pleasant fruit entry, mirroring its aromatics. Refreshing acidity lingers on the long and smooth finish.

Our 2017 Villa Vista Cabernet Sauvignon opens with bright acidity, bursting with aromas of ripe red cherries and wild flowers. Flavors of red licorice and cherry fill the palate followed by a beautiful red fruit and oak finish.

The nose of our 2017 "The Point" opens with layers of dense and ripe bramble fruit and progresses into notes of rich blackberry cobbler. As the nose continues to develop, further notes of graphite, black pepper, and olive leaf are framed by dark mocha and vanilla notes. The palate is dense and chewy with layers of velvety tannins, and carries a decadent juiciness which is supported by a firmly textured backbone. The finish is long and supple, and ends with a sensation of mouth coating cocoa powder.

There are few places in the Napa Valley with the right combination of shale soils that limit a naturally vigorous variety, constant winds that interrupt bloom yielding open clusters, warm days, cool nights – all of which add up to perfect growing conditions for this primally evocative grape variety. I say ‘primally’ because Syrah has an animal-like nature with its smoky charcuterie elements and its wet stone-like character. Dark and inky in the glass, our 2016 Syrah offers bold aromas and flavors of wild blueberries, cherry cola, black pepper and lavender. This vintage, we co-fermented it with a portion of Petit Verdot for additional depth and structure.

Deep garnet in color, our 2018 ‘El Coyote’ Cabernet Sauvignon opens with powerful aromas of Briar fruit, dark chocolate and oak spice, with hints of black tea leaves. Upon entry to the palate, this wine displays ripe red berry fruit flavors and plush tannins. A wine of great complexity, with well-integrated acidity and a bold, lingering finish.

We prize our estate Malbec for its ability to come to full flavor maturity on the vine without the high sugars and subsequent high alcohols often associated with mountain-top reds in the Napa Valley. It is all about exotic aromas and freshness on the palate. Our 2019 Malbec displays a rich red-purple color. Fragrant aromas of raspberry and plum fruits are complemented by hints of clove, tobacco, and chocolate. This is a medium bodied wine with soft tannins, balanced acidity, and notes of sweet oak on the palate.

 In 2015, it strikes the perfect balance between fruit and sweet herb. The steam-bent French oak barrels that we selected support this balance by providing structure without being overwhelming. Its kirsch and marjoram flower aromas meld with fine, dusty tannins to make this a classic and age worthy wine!

Our 2016 Villa Vista Cabernet Sauvignon is bursting with aromas of hawthorn berries, ripe cherry and wild flowers. This Cabernet is blended with a small portion of Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc, and offers a silky and sleek mouthfeel, bright acidity and red fruit flavors. Additional savory notes of dried Italian herbs lead to a pleasing and supple finish.
