Our flagship wine, a full-bodied, single vineyard red blend, grants a nod toward elegance for the 2014 vintage. This Bordeaux-style blend is silky, reserved and supremely balanced. Lush aromatics of raspberry and dark cherry with a hint of eucalyptus, The Oracle is decadent, but with finesse. Earthiness and layers of dried flowers and cocoa integrate harmoniously into a finely balanced marriage between tannin and acid, providing the structure that ensures, like all impeccable beauties, this wine is sure to age gracefully.

“Perfect weather, abundant crop and depth of flavor” are three phrases being used to describe this year’s growing season. Heavy rains in late February and March gave a much-needed soak to the vines as they were emerging from dormancy and beginning bud break. Furthermore, the spring was warm, creating ideal conditions for frost prevention, flowering and fruit set. The August 24th earthquake did not do any damage to the crop, and our team was able to proceed with harvest as usual in spite of the shake-up on property. Yields were above average for 2014, and the vintage is being described as “excellent” for the third year in a row.
