If you love full-flavored California Pinot Noir, this is right up your alley. It starts with an open and pleasant bouquet of cherry pie and baking spices. The red cherry-like fruits continue on the palate with notes of forest floor. The finish has good length with well-integrated acidity and tannins. In its young age, this Pinot is drinking well on day two and three, hinting that is may age well.

For optimal enjoyment we recommend decanting this wine for 30 minutes to and hour before serving. Pair with roasted and grilled meats like a lamb shank or double cut pork chop. On it's own, it's a party.

Some things don't go as planned and the 6th Man needs to come off the bench and save the day. This refreshing, fruit-driven Rose of Pinot Noir delivers! Enjoy it all year long.

We started with the 2018 vintage and 2019 was another great one. Shifting from red to white, Act Two is a subtle, yet complex chardonnay from an appellation that always seems to deliver. Enjoy young or experience graceful aging over the next few years.

Vineyards: 58% Cortada Alta Vineyard, 42% Peterson Vineyard

Alcohol: 14.1%

Oak Treatment: 100% French oak, 42% new; Aged 18 months on lees

Other Stylistic Details: Native primary and malolactic fermentation 

Elegant aromatics in the glass of apricot, tart apple, and some flint-like minerality. Initial tastes of Meyer lemon curd, this Chardonnay is medium weight with mouth-coating viscosity. There is enough acid to provide structure and aid in a long and satisfying finish. This white wine has a clear light color and expect graceful aging over the next 3-5 years. The flavors expand noticeably when paired with food, like paella or shellfish pasta.

For us, as wine enthusiasts, 2018 was the vintage of the decade in California. A true home run. The long and steady growing season produced balanced fruit with tons of complexity. Expect Pinot Noirs from this vintage to be enjoyable when young and age gracefully for the next decade.

Vintage: 2018

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Clone: 100% Dijon Clone 115

Vineyard: Boer Vineyard

Appellation: Chalone, Central Coast, California

Alcohol: 14.5%

Oak Treatment: 100% neutral french oak; aged 30 months

Other Stylistic Details: 100% whole cluster, native fermentation

On the nose, bright, light red fruits such as fresh cherry and pomegranate are mixed with green peppercorn spice.  Flavors of strawberry compliment the wine’s complex structure from mid-palate to finish, which is aided by good acidity that does not overwhelm. In the glass it has a partially transparent ruby color and should age nicely over the next decade. This 100% whole cluster Pinot Noir is not a cocktail wine and should be paired with high-fat foods, like beef stew or roasted lamb.
