This composite blend off the estate is a fuller, more complete Pinot Noir than Tolosa’s new spectrum of block or barrel selections. While not an ager, it’s polished and dry, with lovely flavors of cherries, red currants, cola, root beer and smoky oak.

A beautiful Viognier, if you like those rich, exotic flavors the variety offers. Firmed up with crisp, coastal acidity and fully dry, its flavors range from Meyer lemons, Key lime pie and pineapples to honeysuckle flowers, vanilla and apricots.

A pretty, polished white wine, distinguished by its fine coastal acidity and fruity ripeness. Shows bright, clean flavors of honeysuckle, pear, vanilla and cinnamon spice.

Could be a Pinot Grigio, with a flowery, honeysuckle note along with the lemons, limes, pineapples and vanilla. Whatever, it’s a crisp, dry and likeable white wine.

Ripely crisp and flavorful, not at all a blush but a true white wine. Bursts with zesty red cherries, anise, cedar and cinnamon. Nice with ham, or sausage linguini in a cream sauce.

A little sweet, but very rich, and wonderfully crisp in cool-climate acidity. Shows flavors of raspberries, cherries, strawberries and vanilla, with a sprinkle of sugar.
