A fresh, clean, bright Sauvignon Blanc from Grieve Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Displaying stone and orchard fruit notes. Expansive on the palate, gaining in volume and flavors with emerging notes of green apple and prickly pear laced with spicy white pepper through a long, mineral finish.

From a site beside Ritchie Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, the 2020 Pinot Noir Starscape is a charming, balanced, well-made Pinot Noir that has impressive red and black fruits as well as some forest, spicy, smoky nuances. It’s balanced and well worth drinking over the coming 4-5 years.
There are plenty of heavy hitters who look to Ann Kraemer’s Shake Ridge as the gold standard in Amador County. Our Zinfandel, from her jewel of a vineyard, is flat-out the best Waypoint has ever released. Boysenberries, black cherries, new leather, and a hint of white pepper, make for one succulent mouthful of wine.
This is a dry white wine with an intriguing bouquet that captures the essence of Amador County. The texture is velvety while maintaining a refreshing vitality that awakens the palate. The dry style allows the natural candied element of the varietal to shine, while a zesty citrus backbone keeps the wine perfectly balanced.

This is a profoundly aromatic, expressive, and complex Syrah from the famous Bien Nacido Vineyards in California’s Santa Maria Valley. Leads with dark, brooding black fruits, tobacco, dried violets, and delivers a medium-bodied red overflowing with plums and cherries and framed by a voluptuous mid-palate texture backed by tangy blood orange acidity. A long finish reveals dark chocolate, white pepper, and dried herbs.
