WINE

This venerable 5 grape Bordeaux style blend is a hallmark wine for Clos du Bois. Displaying wild blackberry, clove, violet, and ripe plum aromas. Complex flavors of cassis, cigar box, and roasted coffee lead to a supple, satisfying finish.

Lush, round and eminently Californian in style, this blackberry-backboned Merlot offers a core of rich fruit and voluptuous tannins enveloped by hints of mocha, baking spices, cedar and tobacco.

Ruby red in color. Intense aromas of cherry, dried roses, and earthy-woodsy forest floor. Flavors of sweet cherry fruit are wrapped in a silky, rich, and lush texture. The wine is well balanced with light, toasty oak.

Aged in a combination of steel tanks and oak barrels, Rouge starts off with a very fruit forward (the winemaker dares to call it jammy) nose of ripe black cherries, light bramble and just detectable mocha. On the tongue it fairly bursts with rich blackberry and cherry, a spritz of cola and a nice warm spice grace note. It is lush and mouth-filling through mid palate but the finish is a bit abrupt, clean rather than lingering.

With its deep, black cherry red color, this Zinfandel tempts with aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and hints of baking spice. Full bodied and fruit forward with soft, supple tannins, and flavors of juicy blackberry with light hints of toasted oak.

This cool vintage allowed us a rather different approach in the vineyard than we normally get to have. Cool temperatures allowed a long hang time of fruit on the vine, contributing to ripe, yet elegant aromatics. It has notes of chocolate, blackberry and fresh black pepper on the nose. The textures are far silkier than recent vintages, creating a vibrant wine with flavors of toffee, vanilla, blueberry and currant. The tannins are well integrated, creating a wine for which Clos Du Val is known; balanced, elegant, and classic.

Characteristic of Clos Du Vals world-class style, the Merlot continues the winerys tradition of producing truly elegant wines of balance and complexity. Refined and plum in color, it offers complex yet vibrant aromas of black currant, dark chocolate, nutmeg and toffee. The mouth-feel is silky and evolved, with flavors of black cherry and blueberry complimented by a silky, lingering finish.

This vintage of Carneros Pinot Noir is presented with a lovely ruby color. Aromatic spices awaken the nose with bright raspberry, red currant, and pomegranate. Rich complex layers of fruit and spice fill the mouth with notes of mature cherries. An elegant and lingering finish makes it a perfect wine for food, but especially for enjoying by the glass. This Pinot Noir has great aging potential.

Clos Pegase our Mitsuko's Vineyard Pinot Noir possesses aromas of fresh black and red cherries, and red mulberry framed by Darjeeling tea, and roasted hazelnuts. This vibrant wine is seamless with a silky mouthfeel.

Clos Pegase our Mitsuko's Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc possesses intense, complex and inviting aromas of guava, passion fruit, Meyer lemons, pineapple, kefir lime leaf, lemongrass and verbena, with undertones of gooseberry, nectarine and flint. The wine demonstrates concentration, vibrancy and minerality, with a pitch-perfect acidity counterbalanced by richness, depth and lengthy fruit flavors.

Col Solare, Meritage (Columbia Valley), “Dark and dense, with crunchy tannins around a solid core of black cherry and currant flavors, shaded with notes of sage and a hint of wet stone. Finishes strong. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec.

Colby Red is a flavorful California cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Shiraz, Merlot & Petite Sirah. "This is a unique and generous red wine, just as Colby is a unique and generous child. I blended five different grape varieties to make a red that's juicy and velvety smooth, with rich fruit flavors and a soft finish. Colby Red is a wine for sheer delicious enjoyment. While it's a great wine with food, it tastes best in the company of good friends and family, savored with an appreciation of the gifts each moment brings."

Dark amber color with hints of dates and apricots. It is sweet, full, warm, and harmonic on the palate with an elegant, dried-fruit finish. Perfect for poultry and dessert preparation. Colombo Marsala Fine Sweet is delicious when served chilled as an aperitif or with just some roasted almonds, dark chocolate, chocolate cakes, dry-fruit cakes, other sweets, cheese canapes, strong hard cheese, Stilton, Roquefort, Parmesan, any aged cheese, or assorted charcuterie.

Coltibuono the wine is a bright, intense red color with the essence of cherries and ripe wild berries in the nose. A soft, balanced, full-flavored wine with good structure. Well-balanced acidity accompanied by a long clean finish.
