Mill Creek Upland

Tasting Notes

Very dark scarlet color. A complex nose of wild rose, chocolate, and black cherry with hints of citrus and balsam. On the palate it has a big core of expanding rich and ripe fruit wrapped in robust mountain tannins and cleansing acidity. Incredibly lengthy and delicious.

2020 Single-Vineyard Series Wines

Holy Roller

Tasting Notes

Medium ruby color. Fascinatingly expressive nose of cranberry sauce, mixed florals and herbs, hints of coffee and dark chocolate, charcuterie, portobello mushrooms, and wet earth. The silky mouthfeel of pure red and black fruits finishes clean and delicious.

Loess

Tasting Notes

Inky and dark color to the rim of the glass. For the 2020 vintage, our hillside estate vineyard, adjacent to the driveway leading to the Leonetti winery, is my favorite of the Single Vineyard Series quartet. The nose has many layers including macerated blackberry, blueberry jam, baking spices, black olive, charcoal, gun flint, and sage. On the palate it is loaded with dusty blue fruit. There’s a stunning expression of pure, mouthwatering fruit bolstered by elegant tannins and lively acidity that makes this wine simply delectable.

Serra Pedace

Tasting Notes

Deep and dark crimson. Ethereal nose of high-toned black & blue fruits, barbequed ribs, fresh herbs, and tobacco. Mouthful of chalk-dusted dried fruits reminiscent of cocoa powdered dried cherries. The palate is plush and grippy, an intriguing and gorgeous expression of fruit and structure. The wine finishes persistently with lovely, sweet fruit.
