The Wines!!

 

Boneyard Unrefined White $15.99

Super fun.  The fairly pale straw colored wine is one of intense and exciting aromatics.  Each sniff bringing in a new layer showing pineapple, granny smith, lemon drop, fresh grass and a creamy quality.  The palate is medium to full bodied and bone dry with lovely fruit showing its exotic nature.  The wine is held together beautifully with a streak of acidity.

 

Chardonnay, Alfaro family $24.99

Light straw in color.  The intense flavors of pear, apple and white peach are followed by a hint of lemon curd and honeyed oak. Aged for 8 months in 20% new French oak, 1800 cases produced. 

 

Pinot Noir, Alfaro Family $26.99

Ruby in color, medium in body.  Bright cherry and raspberry on the nose, with abundant Bing cherry, spice and vanilla flavors on the palate.  This wine has well-integrated tannins and refreshing acidity. Aged 8 months in 25% new French oak, 3000 cases produced.  


Corralitos Syrah, Alfaro Family $15.99

On the nose are aromas of brandied fruit, smoked meat, and bitters; and on the palate, flavors of ripe raspberry, clove, and jasmine tea, with flourishes of cola and candied ginger unfolding on a tangy finish. Earthy impressions of crushed stone and spicy oak lend harmony and dimension. The wine is medium-bodied, with friendly tannins and high-toned acids that bring freshness to palate — an appealing expression of the vineyards’ proximity to the sea. 


Gimelli Old Vine Zinfandel, Alfaro Family $24.99

Rich and flavorful, with notes of blackberry jam, raspberry, and dark cherry. Aged for 13 months in 20% new French oak,  488 cases produced.
