Greetings from the cellar to our Wine Club Members!

As the temperatures cool and the days grow shorter, we begin to wrap up harvest and the winery takes on a different, more relaxed energy. Gratitude is a theme that plays out in my head during this time; grateful for the bountiful season, the iconic vineyards and growers we are so fortunate to work with, and of course, the fruit itself. So much promise resides in these expressive tanks and barrels, which will require patience until they are ready to present themselves to our devoted Wine Club members.

In the meantime, we have curated a selection of new releases and member favorites for you to enjoy in this shipment. We’re excited to introduce you to the newly released cool-climate, earth driven 2022 Rugged Elements Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir and depending upon on your club preferences you may also see the intensely fruited and wonderfully structured 2022 Rugged Elements Green Valley Chardonnay. We’ve also included from the popular 2021 vintage the highly acclaimed The Barn Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, Rugged Elements Yoakim Bridge Cabernet Sauvignon from historic vines and the Jack London Wild Ferment Cabernet Sauvignon in all its bright juicy black fruit glory.  Pair these selections with your favorite seasonal dishes and enjoy with friends, family and neighbors, as these are wines that are best experienced in good conversation and cuisine.  If you are in the neighborhood stop by the tasting room and bring your taste buds and your curiosity to learn from our friendly and knowledgeable tasting room team.  We would love to see you.

Cheers!
