Only 1 Barrel Made - The character of the Dolce Mio Figlio is as singular and unique as the process itself. Two full years of barrel-aging have yielded a richly-colored wine with a deep ruby hue. The aromatics offer a promise of the power in glass: cassis, maraschino liqueur, dark chocolate and orange peel compete with a delightful blend of violets and roses.  The dense fruit flavors continue on the full-bodied palate, adding black raspberries and cranberry preserves. The freshness of the vintage shows on the mouthwatering finish, supporting wine’s ample power and ripeness.  2016 Dolce Mio Figlio offers plenty of reason for near-term drinking, but will certainly reward time in the cellar.

The 2018 Rosé Cache has an array of aromas that leap from the glass. Flinty oyster shell, fresh ruby red grapefruit, peaches, green mango and passionfruit; something new emerges at each swirl.  Round and rich but with great tension, the palate offers up melon, rainier cherry and bright green mango flavors. The silky texture leads into a bracing and refreshing finish, full of savory white pepper, fruit peel and saline minerality.  It’s ready for Summer.

We love pushing our boundaries to see what possibilities are around the corner.  It’s the spirit of experimentation that drives us, the idea of what could be possible that ignites our passion.  

Possibility is deeply colored, with a purple core leading out to a brilliant magenta rim. The color is indicative of the intensity of the aromatics: ripe and smoky black fruits, blueberries and cassis immediately appear, adding a sexy note of cedar incense alongside crushed herbs as it opens.  The palate is deep, juicy and layered with a texture that combines the plushness of Syrah and the mouthwatering structure of Cabernet.  The finish is pronounced and lengthy, gravitating towards a pleasingly savory mix of bright rosemary, fresh earth and baking spices.  It may be futile to resist enjoying this lovely wine now…

The New 2017 Quinta Essentia Chenin Blanc is drinking beautifully upon release. Stone fruit and fresh honey with hints of struck flint, ginger spice and toasted nuts make for an enticing array of aromas. White peach, apricot, and pear dance on the palate with subtle notes of nuts, freshly baked bread and all-spice.
