From the deep dark fruited nose to the succulent finish, this Cabernet is truly in a league of its own. A wholesome wine, succulent in plum, currant, sage, blackberry, dark chocolate, cassis, licorice and toasted cedar.

Opaque, with a deep ruby color and purple tinge. Layered aromas include generous cassis, super-ripe raspberry and black licorice, with notes of graphite and anise.

Dark, rich, and delicious, the brand new release of Aloft is another winner!

We LOVE this racy new Sauvignon Blanc. Reminds us of a dream combination of Napa’s finest (Eisele Estate) or even Sancerre (Vacheron) with a bit more intense citrus notes. The flashy finish features a touch of vanilla oak that will offer a superb pairing with savory menus featuring roast chicken or seafood.
