Incredibly smooth, rich, & complex with a mouth-filling wallop of caramel & cherry.

Lively on the nose, aromas of fresh violet petals and spices give way to a mouthwatering palate of ripe blackberry, raspberry, anise, and toffee brittle. Vibrant acidity and a bright, juicy finish. With our Barbera try rich dark meats, mushrooms, herbs, herbaceous cheeses like blue cheese, higher tannin foods like root vegetables & braised greens. The idea here is that the bright acidity in the wine will make a rich fatty or high tannin dish complete.

This is a wonderful example of Calaveras Cabernet. Bordeaux blend of 77%  Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec and 3% Merlot. It is warm and inviting on the nose with vanilla, cinnamon, dark fruit and tobacco. Bright and bold, yet true to Cabernet character, this wine is smooth and mouth-filling with a rich aftertaste of boysenberry. Nice and soft tannins. 

Our 2020 Clockspring Zinfandel is a challenging and rewarding wine to make. Amazing fruit, detailed selection criteria and master blending show in the final wine. A wide array of jammy raspberry and plum aromas followed by black cherry, strawberry and vanilla flavors lead to a smooth and lengthy finish.

Juicy raspberries & blueberries with subtle smoky tannins explode on the palate, with ripe plums & black cherries on the finish.
