100% Vermentino from our vineyard blocks planted in 2004 and 2012. Similar to the Rosé, this wine has intense floral and fruity aromas, concentrated mouthfeel with incredible minerality and salinity thanks to great acidity. Like the Rosé, this is a special vintage!

70% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre was amazing from the fermenter to the bottle. Intense fruit and spice aromas lead to a textured rosé that finishes with crisp acidity. Everything about this wine screams Provence, which is just how we like it.

100% Grenache Blanc from vines planted in 2004 and 2012. Deep color and wildly intense fruit aromas lead to a rich, full-bodied wine that is prototypical GB. Amazing bright acidity keeps this wine lively...a classic characteristic of Unti.  A statement wine to be sure.

Our third vintage of Aglianico is very much in the style of the great DOCG, Taurasi. Very deep color with incredible aromas of dried rose petals, prunes and spice. The wine is quite full-bodied with excellent fruit and the tannin structure to age at least 7 to 10 years.

This 2019 Barbera is a bit more classic Unti, meaning it has exotic fruit and a bit more concentration than its predecessor, the 2018. This style is quite similar to the full-bodied Barberas from Italy’s DOCGs in Asti, Monferrato, and Nizza—deep color, bright fruit and solid acidity.

Our 2018 Syrah is our version of a super-charged Saint Joseph from the Northern Rhone. Deep color, intense violet, blackberry and blueberry aromas are followed by a juicy but structured Syrah. While this wine has more finesse than the Benchland Syrah, it has the tannin to age well over the next 5 to 8 years.

Our 2018 Zinfandel is one of the most intensely fruity wines from this vineyard. The wine is dark, full-bodied and juicy, with flavors of boysenberry and pepper. The Barbera keeps the wine from being too clunky by adding freshness, and our 2018 Zin has enough tannin to age well for 3 to 5 years. Our red wines are unfiltered, and please note that some bottles may contain sediment, which is natural and healthy from the lees of the wine. We believe this enhances mouthfeel and offers a protective quality to the ageability.

Wine Spectator: 90 Points — "Ripe but packs zesty power, with wild berry, roasted sage and cracked pepper flavors that finish with medium-grained, briary tannins. Drink now through 2028. 1,175 cases made. From California." 

Cuvée Foudre is our attempt at making a Rhône-blend worthy of the best Châteaunef-du-Papes. Not surprisingly, it has been our most critically-acclaimed wine. The Grenache Alban clone is always our most expressive, while the Mourvedre and Syrah play key roles in giving this wine complexity (raspberry/cherry, pepper, licorice, tar) and tannin structure. Like all of our 2018 wines, this Cuvée Foudre has a brighter fruit component to go along with the depth and richness you've come to expect from one of our best wines. And yes, this wine will age well over the next 6 to 10 years.

Wine Spectator: 91 Points — "Well-defined and briary, with cherry and guava flavors laced with forest floor and smoked pepper, finishing with fine- grained tannins. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Drink now through 2028."

Almost 30 years since their original planting, our Benchland Syrah vines are slowing down, in a good way. The vines’ crop level is more in balance with its root development, resulting in more consistent, high-quality fruit. Combined with an even ripening vintage like 2018, you have one of the best wines from this vineyard. Intense color and fruit, with a distinct savory character you’ve come to love from in this wine. This 2018 has the depth and structure found in our 2016, 2012, and 2007, rewarding those who aged them.

This 2018 Grenache is a perfect example of what crop-thinning, combined with a great vintage, can do for this variety. Reminiscent of our stunning 2007 Grenache, this vintage is equally dark and concentrated. Intense aromas of pepper, raspberry, cherry, blackberry, tar, licorice, and dried herbs (enough with the descriptors!) are followed by a lush but firmly structured wine, balanced by nice acidity. While expressive and fruity, our 2018 Grenache has a sneaky tannin structure, which will allow it to improve over the next 3 to 5 years.

Wine Spectator: 90 Points — "Precise and narrowly focused, offering cherry, savory garrigue and spiced cinnamon flavors, with refined tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2028."
