For anyone who has visited Sonoma’s wine country, they will know that Highway 12 is considered California’s “wine highway” spanning from Sebastopol in the Russian River Valley to the West, then rolling East through Sonoma Valley, Carneros, Napa Valley, California’s Delta Region, and ending just past Lodi at the San Andreas fault. Paul and Michael have dedicated themselves as stewards of the rich tradition and quality of these growing regions along Highway 12 by producing high quality, value driven wines that can be enjoyed by all wine consumers.
The wines below reflect the different characteristics of the span of California’s Wine Highway

Bottle Price: $95.00
Aged in new French oak, this specially crafted Bordeaux-style blend has been aging away in 2 barrels, biding its time for nearly 5 years, waiting for the perfect moment in time to reveal itself. It’s soft and relatable–simply a gorgeous sipper.
750ml Bottle Price: $68.00
Magnum Bottle Price $180.00
The Ultra-cab returns to show us what it can do—powerhouse, year after year. Fantastically dense violet/ruby color—it oozes body and exudes strength—and that’s just on first whiff! Notes of rich black currant and cassis are in the forefront with the minerally gravel and faint lead pencil notes to balance the rich, long finish.
Bottle Price: $55.00
The 2022 is pure bold red satisfaction. Complex and elegant yet powerful, we love this balance of ripe fruit, herbal aromatic intensity, minerality and structural power. Concentrated levels of crème de cassis, chocolate and tanned leather give way to a full-bodied and seamless wine that always over-delivers.
Bottle Price: $48.00
NEW VINTAGE RELEASE!
The 2022 vintage was exceptional, yielding perfectly ripe Zinfandel from the northern tip of SonomaValley and Cabernet Sauvignon from our Sonoma Valley “banana belt” in the Glen Ellen area. The blend is 72% Zinfandel and 28% Cabernet Sauvignon—a wine that centers on power, finesse, and tradition.
Bottle Price: $42.00
ALWAYS A FAVORITE
This 2023 Reserve Chardonnay is up there with the best. From the nose, bright citrus zest, juicy melon and tropical aromas. The midpalate–a lush, round and satisfying mouth of angel food cake with seasonal stonefruit and vanilla. Then just kiss it with toasty oak. Light, friendly acidity balances this wine beautifully and finishes fresh, lingering and mineral-driven.
Bottle Price: $38.00
With the lovely pale salmon hue and the dancing bubbles–we see the softness on approach–followed by layers of aromas of toasty hazelnuts, ripe strawberries and crisp apples. Soft notes of rose petals, steely minerality and bright acidity round out this stunner. Made in the traditional Methode Champenoise with 45% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, 13% Pinot Meunier.
Bottle Price: $38.00
IT’S BACK!
From the nose–fresh citrus zest, bright melon and tropical notes present. Midpalate–a lush, round and vibrant mouthfeel, joined by slight touches of white peach, pastry cream and a hint of jasmine. Light, friendly acidity balances this wine out wonderfully and drives it home with a satisfying, minerally, crisp finish. Pairs exceptionally well with dinner party show-stopper pan seared scallops with citrus beurre blanc and chive oil.
Bottle Price: $28.00
The understated ripe black cherries and currant preserves are complemented by woody, spiced bark and mocha notes. A concentrated mid-palate dazzles then carries over to tingly tannins and a soft but lengthy finish. Weighty, rich and structured, this Cabernet will drink well now or cellar excellently for up to ten years.
Bottle Price: $60.00
He’s back! The 4th stand of The General has landed at the Sonoma outpost. This wildly popular wine sells out in record time so you want to be sure you get yours! Extraordinarily well balanced and consistently delicious, this wine will WOW you and will yet again be an excellent addition to any cellar or holiday table.
Bottle Price: $55.00
This new limited offering red wine is rich, bold and lush. The blackfruit and plum compote sing on the entry and mid-palate while the tanned leather and mocha notes tread lightly but long on the finish. For those of you who recall…this is reminiscent of the awesome Reserve Blend from back in the day!
Bottle Price: $48.00
Well, what can we say about this bottle that hasn’t been said before? Tons more, that’s what! It’s been one of the all-time favorites since the first vintage we released—the 2007—and has only gained more and more devotees–like SWIFTIES! FRANC-IES!
Bottle Price: $48.00
This is one of those examples of a vineyard specific, small batch winemaking that we should shout about from the mountaintop, but that’s just not our style. We will say, it’s just an amazing, affordable Sonoma Valley Syrah that over-delivers to the max–especially for a Reserve at this price.
Bottle Price: $45.00
The Reserve Red Blend hails from our own backyard, at Quarry Hill Vineyard (certified organic in 2023) that sits off of Highway 12 just to the north of the historic Sonoma Plaza. This luscious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah showcases the bright fruit and bold structure, creating a charming elegance for which Sonoma is known.
Bottle Price: $38.00
Always equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot from the Serres Ranch, this blend is still showing the characteristics we’ve all come to know and love so much each year. The deep magenta color and the nostalgic whiffs of cherry Jolly Ranchers, violets and cedar create a curious glimpse into what’s to come on the palate. Bright entry and mid-palate of plum preserves and currant with tanned leather and mocha notes prevail.
Bottle Price: $38.00
A bold and blackfruit-filled whiff invites you into this newly released SRB that we all know and love. Hefty, bright notes of ripe boysenberry compote, currant jelly and a tinge of sweet new leather fill the senses with the first sip. As this opens up, it turns into a real mouth pleasing wine–it may even induce “swishing” to get it to every corner of the palate.
Bottle Price: $28.00
Blended with 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and about 10% Merlot, the wine was aged in French oak and showcases cedary overtones and exhibits soft earthtones on the nose with hints of cherry, blueberry and a vanilla-oak softness. Medium to full-bodied the wine reveals wonderful fruit ripeness supported by richness and a slightly chewy core.
Bottle Price: $24.00
This new release vintage of our Pinot Noir is a transitional sipper. A “buffer red” from winter bold reds to the heat of summer, this Pinot’s perfect for the job! Bright strawberry and subdued tanned leather and shiitake mushroom notes, combined with the soft balancing act of the earth tones and light tannins, create a sensational easy drinkin’ Pinot. Slightly chilled this wine makes a great summer sipper if you prefer red over white!
Bottle Price: $24.00
Weighty and bold, this Merlot was aged for 19 months in new and neutral oak. Layers of black cherry, blueberry and plum, underscored by vanilla and mocha on the palate. Nuances of black olive and Earl Grey tea come to focus on the mid palate. Balanced acidity adds structure and elegance, while sturdy tannins carry the wine to a fruitful, concentrated and lengthy finish and will age beautifully.
Bottle Price: $28.00
We love Sauvignon Blanc and after a few years of vineyard experimentation, we went back to our best vineyard source–the truest expression of single vineyard Sonoma Valley Sauvignon Blanc–the MacLeod Vineyard. This source supports the expression and character we believe in and strive for.
Bottle Price: $24.00
Our vineyard partners for this wine are local Sonoma boys Ned Hill and Matt Stornetta of La Prenda Vineyards. Hailing from from the cool Delta-Clarksburg region, also with a touch Sonoma Carneros, we opted for the minimalist approach – cool fermentation, light oak integration, lower alcohol. The fruit and floral notes are balanced by light acidity and a rich toasty vanilla oak warmth to round out the finish.
Bottle Price: $24.00
The perfect pale salmon color draws you in to this gorgeous blush wine. Stone fruit nectar and white blossoms are the first to show on the nose—we’ve now got two major hits. The Pinot Noir grape delivers bright acidity and soft yet subtle characteristics of strawberry, watermelon and a touch of wet riverstone, driving this rosé home! Weighty, clean finish. This will be your new automatic fridge grabber for laid back days and lazy nights!
Bottle Price: $24.00
Barrel fermentation and sur lie aging creates a lusher profile with only hints of oak that contribute touches of toasty, honey-like notes. Malo-lactic fermentation was induced to achieve a round, creamy mid palate but the wine’s focus is on the indigenous fruit characteristics for which Carneros is known.
Bottle Price: $24.00
Small berries equal intense flavors yielding a Pinot boasting hints of strawberry, and hibiscus on the nose with a dose of sandlewood and cedar. Interlaced with bright fruit, it’s perfectly complemented by subtle hints of oak, from our 9 months of aging in French Oak barrels.
Bottle Price: $38.00
