2023 Padre &Figlio

Estate Grown

Shenandoah Valley, CA

Winemaker's Notes:

Our Gallery Collection wines arecarefully crafted from our very best estate grown grapes, receiving extra careand attention throughout the winemaking process. The barrels are selected toensure that a Gallery Collection Wine is the very best expression of varietalcharacter and Sierra Foothill terroir.

This is our fifth vintage of "Padre& Figlio". Our first vintage was made from our 2006production and the second vintage was 2015. "Padre & Figlio", which translates from Italian as "Father and Son",is a blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah. Petite Sirah, or Durif in France, is theresult of a cross between the obscure French variety Peloursin with Syrah. Therefore, in this wine Syrah is the fatherand Petite Sirah, the son.

The fruit was harvested at theoptimum level of ripeness. The wine wasmade in our one of a kind "Submerged Cap Fermentation Tank" that enablesmaximum extraction without aggressive treatment of the cap. This results full body wine that are elegantand lacking astringency. The wine wasaged for two years in select French barrels.

Inky dark purple in color thewine has a dense nose of dark fruit mixed with savory, earthy and smoky aromas.These flavors continue to the palate and to the long finish adding sage, blackolive, and vanilla. The wine has astructured acidity that balances the chewy tannins

2024 Grenache

Gallery Collection

Estate Grown and Bottled

Shenandoah Valley, CA

Winemaker's Notes:

Grenache originated in the Rioja and Catalonia wine regions ofSpain and is one of its flagship wines. FromSpain it was imported into southern France after the Phylloxera devastated mostof the grapevines in the Rhone region. The Grenache grapevine was brought to light in the world stage mainlydue to its being more resistant to Phylloxera. Traditionally, this grapevariety has been mainly used for blending and has not had great success as astandalone variety. Grenache has a veryunique flavor that tends to be herbaceous and fruity at the same time. It is light in color and tannins.

The grapes forthis wine came from our Grenache vineyard planted in 2007 with clones VNS 3 andVNS 5. A part of this vineyard wasgrafted from Syrah and Tempranillo. We followed our normal winemaking protocolsand used our Dual Compartment "Submerged Cap Fermentation Tank" and aged thewine in 20% new French oak barrels. Iblended this Grenache with Syrah like they would in Southern Rhone in wines ofdistinction that come from Chateauneuf-du-Pape or Gigondas. The Syrah contributed color, flavor andstructure for better balance.

This wine has a light color and mouthfeel and ideal fordrinking at cooler temperatures during the summer. It has a very distinctive flavor and aroma ofberry fruits, combined with earthy and herbaceous notes which remind me of thepopular Argentinean Mate tea, without the bitterness and grassiness associatedwith it.

2023 BDX

Estate Grown and Bottled

Gallery Collection

California, SierraFoothills

Winemaker's Notes:

BDX is a blend ofthree Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and TourigaNacional, the most recently approved Bordeaux variety. This is our 4th vintage of BDXthat is becoming one of the most popular blends of the Gallery Collection Club.. The first BDX was made in 2008. At that time, I used Petit Verdot instead ofTouriga Nacional. A typical Bordeauxblend consists of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc, with smalladditions of Petit Verdot and Malbec. Recently, four more varieties have beenapproved to join the list: Arinarnoa, Castets, Marselan, and Touriga Nacional.

Bordeaux, themost famous wine region in the world is subject to unstable weatherconditions. The weather in this regioncan change abruptly before harvest delaying the harvest or even forcing aharvest when the grapes are not completely ripe. When this occurs, it compromises the qualityof the wine. This hardly ever happens in our region, which normally has veryconsistent weather.

In the three vintagesof BDX that we made so far Cabernet Sauvignon has been the leading component. When making Bordeaux varietals I amalways wary of potential bell pepper flavor, which I would prefer not to havein my wines.

BDX is a full bodywine, dark ruby red in color with distinctive Cabernet aromas of black currantsand black cherry. The dark fruit carriesall the way to the palate revealing herbal qualities. The sustained finish has more dark fruitadding nuances of smoke, leather and black pepper.

2022 Cabernet Franc

Gallery Collection

Estate Grown & Bottled

California, Shenandoah Valley

Winemaker's Notes:

Cabernet Franc is one of the major red grape varieties inthe world mainly used as a blending wine especially as an ideal minor partnerto Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Bordeaux style wines. It is also produced as a standalone varietyin the Loire in France and in California. Viewed as a gentler version of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Francthrives in the warmer climate and sandy soils of our region. Contrary to the Cabernet Franc that grows in thecooler climates of Bordeaux and the Loire, our Cabernet Franc has a deep redcolor and is abundant in refined tannins making this wine full bodied.

Records of Cabernet Franc inBordeaux go back to the end of the 18th century, although it was planted inLoire long before that time. DNA analysis indicates that Cabernet Franc is oneof two parents of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carménère

This Cabernet Franc was aged in French oak barrels for almost3 years. It was blended with with 12%Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petite Sirah just before bottling. It has sweet floral aromas of violets, whichtransform on the palate revealing exotic flavors of black currant, cassis andplum. This wine hits your mid-palate andstays there for a while, revealing other flavors. The finish is long addinghints of black licorice. This wine has a perfect balance and a firm structure.

Gallery Collection

Estate Grown &Bottled

California, ShenandoahValley

Winemaker's Notes:

Proprietor's Blend was the very first red wine blend that I made in 2004 andsince then continued making it every year. This wine, which became one of the GalleryCollection Club's most favorite wines, is released yearly in November. Most of the time the components that go intothis wine are the same, while the composition may vary from year to year. Inthis vintage we used Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, the regularcomponents of this wine.

Eachcomponent was individually aged in French oak barrels for 2 years. Wecreated the blend at least 6 months before bottling, after which the blendednew wine went back into barrels for an additional aging in neutral barrelsuntil bottling.

This is anelegant wine with a deep red color and rich dark and intense fruit aromas,which carry to the palate. It is a fullbody wine with a firm structure with well-balanced flavors, and a long andsustained finish. It has intense darkfruit as well as earthy and savory flavors with nuances of spice, coffee and cocoa. This is an age-worthy wine, good to drink nowor to stack it away for 10 years or longer.

California,Shenandoah Valley

Winemaker's Notes:

The name "Due Amici" translates from Italian as two friends,in this case the two varietals Primitivo and Zinfandel that are its majorcomponents. These two varietals, which originated in Croatia, are geneticallyidentical having the same DNAs. Theirdifferences arise from the clonal selection process. These differences are significant especiallyin the size of the clusters and the individual berries. Zinfandel has large andtight clusters and large berries, while Primitivo has smaller and looserclusters and smaller size berries.

We have been making Due Amici almost every year since the2005 vintage. It has been one of ourmost popular Gallery Collection wines.

This "Due Amici" has intense aromas of blackberry and black cherrythat carry to the palate adding layers of mocha and black pepper. This is an elegant wine with a perfectbalance and a long finish.

Double GoldMedal: Foothill WineCompetition, 2025

Winemaker's Notes:

The inspiration to create this wine came to me from apopular blend called GSM, a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, originatingin the Cote du Rhone in Southern France. In this GST blend, I replaced the Mourvèdre with Tempranillo and TourigaNacional.

Tempranillo and Grenache, two original Spanish varieties areplanted extensively throughout Spain including Rioja, a wine region in NorthernSpain especially known for the blends of these two varieties. In other wine regions in Spain, such as theRibera de Duero, where Syrah is planted on a large scale, blends of Tempranilloand Syrah are very common.

Touriga Nacional is a Portuguese variety, coming from Portoand used as the primary grape variety in Port wines. Recently it has been approved as a Bordeauxvariety.

This is a very well-balanced wine having an identity of itsown, different than its components. Thevery dark red color, an influence from the Syrah and Tempranillo, creates theexpectations of a big wine, which will not be disappointing. Darkfruit, combined with earthy aromas dominate this wine, extending to the palateand adding herbal and savory notes all the way through the long finish.
