for 2020

2016 Diviner Cabernet Sauvignon

"Diviner is a glimpse into the unique terroir of Santa Ynez Valley - a region that is diverse in terrain and microclimates and a producer of wines that stand up to the best of their kind. This single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon is from Happy Canyon and was fermented in a closed stainless steel tank prior to 14 months aging in 35% new French oak. Pumpovers during fermentation aided tannin development without over extraction. Rich but not opulent, this red is generous and balanced." Information provided by Winc.

2016 Salient Chardonnay

"Salient focuses on elegant expressions of California's three most notable varietals, sourced from their most highly esteemed A.V.A.s. To craft this 2016 Chardonnay, we hand-picked grapes from an Organic Carneros vineyard and fermented the juice in neutral French oak barrels. Two-thirds of the lot went through a second fermentation called Malolactic Fermentation, for added texture and richness. Thanks to the cool climate of Carneros-Sonoma and the high natural acidity that results, this wine remains crisp and bright, but with complex notes of butterscotch and caramel and the creaminess that comes from fermentation in barrel."

2016 Dime Red Blend

"Dime is a perfect ten. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot from two of the most prime spots in the Santa Ynez Valley, this wine is a wonderful portrayal of where it comes from and how it was made. Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness for fruit flavor and texture, and the juice was fermented in stainless steel before 14 months aging in 40% new french oak. The result is soft tannins and a lush, velvety texture." Information provided by Winc.

2017 Finke's Sparkling White Blend

"With Finke’s, we’re looking to define a new style of quality California sparkling wine that perfectly reflects the state's sun-kissed fruit. This blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay was made by picking each varietal early in the season and using the Charmat Method to produce the lively bubbles, brightness, and freshness. Bottled just six months after the harvest and ready to drink right away, this blend showcases a fresh and youthful wine with a crisp, dry expression on the palate from the Chardonnay and notes of apple, pineapple, and floral aromas thanks to the Chenin Blanc. Finke’s has the celebratory feel of French champagne, without the special occasion pricing. Make every day a celebration with this delightful wine." Information provided by Winc.
