The 2018 Three Valleys is another terrific 2018 from this team. A blend of 70% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 12% Carignan, and the rest Mataro, it plays in the medium-bodied, elegant end of the spectrum and has wonderful purity in its blue fruits, peppery herbs, violets, and sandalwood aromas and flavors. Nicely textured, elegant, and seamless on the palate, with good acidity, this ethereal, balanced beauty can be drunk today or cellared for 10-15 years.

Earthy, woodsy aromas and rich, mulled fruit flavors ride a smooth, lightly tannic texture in this full-bodied, brooding wine made mostly from Zinfandel, with Petite Sirah, Carignan and Mataro blended in. It's not overtly fruity or oaky but offers a savory, meaty expression that's intriguing.
