Sorridente means “smiling” and that is what we do while assembling this blend. Once the component wines have settled in the cellar to reveal their character, we select the brightest, cheeriest barrels from each lot and make many trial blends until we find the one that will leave a smile on your face.

This wine displays a rich garnet hue and beautiful, compelling aromas. Notes of black fruits such as blackberry, cassis and black plums are intermixed with hints of cedar, vanilla, and black tea. This Cabernet Sauvignon is irresistible now but will reward cellaring for a decade or more.
Beautifully clear, dark garnet in color. Hints of rose petal and black cherry on the nose, reminiscent of a Black Forest cake. On the palate, it is like a fine dark chocolate melting on the tongue, or perhaps a ripe strawberry dipped in excellent chocolate. The wine is dense and complex, foretelling a long future of ever increasing dimensions.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sagrantino from grapes grown on our estate. This wine is deep and structured, with layers upon layers of flavors, such as pomegranite, blackberry, exotic spice cedar and lavendar, that gradually reveal themselves.
Brilliant, limpid garnet in color with aromas of crushed blackberry, lilac, and rose petal. This wine is lusciously silky and inviting. Flavors of blackberry, raspberry, strawberry and huckleberry are supported by hints of spice and cedar.
Our estate Black Glass Vineyard Zinfandel takes its name from the obsidian that surfaces in the vineyard after each rain. Brilliant amethyst in color with a complex nose offering an array of fruit and spice aromas, this inviting wine is lively and vibrant. Our Black Glass Zinfandel is as playful as it is complex.
