Our single vineyard chardonnay is grown in the Vigna Monte Nero in the heart of the Santa Lucia Highlands. The region is internationally recognized for producing exquisite chardonnays. The mild weather, ocean breezes, and consistent fog creates the moderate environment in which this varietal thrives. The hand harvested fruit is aged for 10 months in 40% new French oak and 60% neutral oak. The nose delivers peach, honey, vanilla, butter, and oak, while the palate experiences citrus, caramel and nice acidity.

The Pedregal Chardonnay is grown in the Paicines AVA located on the western edge of the Diablo Mountain Range near Hollister. In 2014, the Pedregal de Paicines Vineyard experienced temperature and weather swings with a consistently warm fall. The environmental fluctuations resulted in intensely flavored berries for our "unoaked" Chardonnay. Aromas of peach and honey meet the nose, while the palate experiences notes of rich tropical fruits with balanced acidity.  

The 2014 Gewürztraminer was grown in a year of temperature and weather swings that resulted in low yields of high quality grapes. This hand harvested fruit was fermented in stainless steel barrels. The resulting wine greets the nose with bright, floral lychee and warm honey, while delighting the mouth with tropical tastes of pineapple, passion fruit, and honey. 

The Pinot Gris is grown on the original homestead the Franscioni family settled in the late 1800s. The vineyard is named in honor of owner Ray Franscioni's father and grandfather, both of whom were Silvios. This vineyard generally experiences crisp mornings, moderately warm, breezy days and cool evenings. The Pinot Gris sets to ferment in stainless steel barrels. The resulting wine entices with aromas of lemon and white nectarine, and bright acidity. In the mouth, flavors of nectarine and citrus are accompanied by balanced acidity and minerality.

To create our 2014 Riesling, our winemakers extracted residual sugars to produce a dry wine with nice acidity. This wine pairs beautifully with lighter meals such as fish, salads, and pork, or with a cheese assortment. While enjoying this wine, the nose experiences citrus, licorice, honey, and anise flower. The palate will begin savoring flavors of citrus and peach, filled out by a mineral finish, and licorice throughout.
