Dolcetto vs. Petite Sirah! Locked in a battle of equals, both grapes form an exciting and highly complex wine layered with rich fruits and supported by spice, leather, and balanced tannins.
A fruit forward and full-bodied Red Blend named after the elusive Manta Ray, also known as the "Devilfish." These graceful creatures can be spotted in the warmer waters of Baja California and are known for their elusive personalities and mysterious behavioral patterns. Despite the name, they are gentle giants, and a sighting of a lone Manta Ray is a rare and lucky event. Our red blend is a gentle giant also, fruit forward, with juicy dark berry flavors, big tannins, and a hint of mystery...
This year the blend is comprised of Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, Petite Sirah. New label design by John Conway pays homage to these beautiful ocean dwellers!
A fruit forward and full-bodied Red Blend named after our Winery Dog, Rolo the Chocolate Lab. Rolo, who quickly grew from a wee pup to a great, grinning, whale of a Lab is the inspiration for this wine. Gillian Conway got Rolo in 2007, the beginning of our winemaking adventures. He is turning 13 years old this year! Each year the blend is comprised of different grapes, but always we strive to make it fruit forward, with juicy dark berry flavors, big tannins, and notes of chocolate-of course! This year the blend is comprised of Malbec, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc. Enjoy in the company of friends, canine or otherwise! Woof Woof!
Our 2019 Malbec is sourced from an acclaimed vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley. Stainless steel fermented, and then transferred to French Oak barrels for 6 months, this wine is rich with fruit, soft tannins, and layers of complex savory notes. Aromas of Blackberry, Baking Spices, and Cedar are followed by flavors of crushed Dark Berries, Black Olive, and Spice.
The ruby red color and good structure of this wine come from the time it spends macerating on the skins. Barrel aged for 4 months in new French Oak, this wine offers the delicate cherry and strawberry fruit notes that we have come to love from this vineyard. Smells Like: Fresh cherries, strawberry, vanilla. Tastes Like: Cherry, pomegranate and cranberry with a subtle earthy spice on the finish.
