  2025 Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc

  The 2025 growing season gave Sauvignon Blanc exactly what it needed: replenishing winter rains, a mild, fog‑kissed summer, and a slow, even ripening that let flavor arrive before sugar.  This vintage leans into brightness without sharp edges—Meyer lemon, early stone fruit, and a gentle snap of fresh herbs rather than full‑tilt grapefruit.  Picked in the cool of the morning and fermented at low temperatures, it spent just enough time on lees and in neutral vessels to soften the mid‑palate while keeping its energy intact.

  Suggested Parings:

  We think this wine would be smashing with these tacos from Jamie Oliver (Tasty fish tacos | Fish recipes | Jamie Oliver)

  And for a classic, end‑of‑summer match, think caprese‑adjacent: fresh mozzarella or burrata, ripe tomatoes, and basil over good bread or farro. The wine’s citrus and herbs brighten the tomatoes and cut through the richness of the cheese without weighing dinner down.

  This wine goes with so many things you might just need to throw in a few more bottles…

  2024 Zinfandel

  2024 was the kind of “normal” year Zinfandel loves: solid winter rain, warm days, cool nights, and a well‑timed cool spell at harvest that let us pick ripe fruit without runaway sugars.  The wine shows classic Napa Zin in a measured key—brambly blackberry and plum, a twist of black pepper, and sun‑warmed spice on a medium‑bodied frame that’s more balanced than brawny.  Careful canopy work, vigilant sampling, and a mix of tank and barrel fermentations kept the fruit vibrant, while mostly used oak adds a subtle halo of baking spice.

  Suggested Parings:

  For a less obvious option, try it with a “snack board” dinner after the first long week back: slices of good salami or leftover roast chicken, sharp cheddar, olives, and a handful of nuts and dried fruit. The Zin’s brambly fruit and spice weave through the salty, crunchy, nibble‑y mix and makes clearing out the fridge feel significantly more celebratory.

  For a more classic approach, think baked lasagna or a bubbling pan of baked ziti—the tomato, cheese, and herbs line up neatly with the wine’s ripe fruit, pepper, and gentle spice.

  2019 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

  Back when the world was busy arguing about trade wars and Brexit, 2019 in Rutherford was quietly delivering the kind of growing season winemakers dream about: long and warm, with cool nights that set us up for an unhurried harvest. A little extra heat at the finish line turned up the volume on tannin and power, but the wine still hums with that signature “Rutherford Dust” – black fruit, savory herbs, and a finish that feels like rough velvet. Mostly native-yeast fermentations and 20 months in French oak (about one-quarter new) keep things grounded in our house style: decant now for a seriously good time, or tuck a few bottles away as a time capsule from a year which, when looking back registers as a much simpler time.

  Suggested Parings: 

  While the garden is throwing zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes at you this wine’s savory edge and “rough velvet” finish play beautifully against roasted vegetables and creamy, cheesy polenta.

  And for the night when practices, homework, and email all collide: throw sausages, peppers, and onions on a sheet pan, pour a glass of 2019 Cab, and call it extra credit for adults.
