2021 Syrah/Grenache - 92 Points
This blend of 67% Syrah and 33% Grenache offers rounded aromas of boysenberry, thyme and asphalt on the nose. It's lighter in body on the palate, where tight, chalky tannins frame juicy boysenberry jam flavors.

2021 Twin Creeks Pinot Noir - 92 Points
Rustic cranberry aromas meet with potpourri and pepper on the nose of this bottling. The palate snaps with fresh and tart red-fruit flavors that are lifted by floral hints of rose petal and the spice of cracked peppercorn.

2021 Classic Pinot Noir - 92 Points
A light, quite transparent hue in the glass, this bottling has rustic strawberry and cranberry aromas that are enhanced by hibiscus and toasted wood on the earthy nose. Red fruit flavors are prominent on the sip, where fresh acidity keeps it zipping into the finish.

2022 Dry Gewürztraminer - 90 Points
Rounded aromas of nectarine, pineapple and orange-blossom oil divulge the hyperaromatic, tropical-leaning variety on the nose of this bottling. The palate is stone-cold dry, combining flavors of glacial wash with gardenia, jasmine and white rose petals.
