2022 Pinot Blanc (new vintage)
Our Pinot Blanc is a tropical summer day in a glass – crisp and clean, pineapple and passionfruit and Meyer lemon and pear, with river rock giving it a great minerality. It’s excellent when paired with Thai food, or poured on its own for sipping.

2022 Chardonnay (new vintage)
Our renowned “naked” Chardonnay in another amazing vintage. This classic wine is entirely unoaked, with no malolactic fermentation. This makes it crisp and clean, without the buttery, oaky flavor you find in some other Chardonnays. On the nose you’ll find tropical fruits – pineapple, honeysuckle, and guava among others, plus a variety of great floral notes. When you taste it you’ll get the zing of green apples, citrus, and a bit of pineapple. Our Chardonnay is great paired with fish (especially more tropical varieties), chicken, and zesty salads.

2022 Viognier
The 2022 RIVINO Estate Viognier is one of our best vintages to date. The fruit is remarkable, and the nose is a prime example of the varietal. Our Viognier gives off incredible tropical aromas – lychee fruit, pineapple, and guava. This wine offers a nice acid balance with lemons and a hint of grapefruit, white peaches, and Asian pears.

2022 Amber Eve (new vintage)
She's back! And better than ever! This is Amber Eve, our distinctive Rosé of Sangiovese. We make a limited quantity and she sells out quickly, so make sure to grab yours soon. Perfect color, an incredible body, and flavors that linger far beyond what you'd expect from a Rosé. This is pink wine the way it was meant to be enjoyed. You'll find summer in your glass here, with watermelon, peach, raspberries, and honeydew. Try it with grilled fish or shrimp, or enjoy it for sipping.

2016 Sedulous
Our signature estate blend melds Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Viognier for a unique wine. That little touch of Viognier gives an amazing tropical nose that brightens the wine (amazing what 1% can do!). In the mouth you'll find a delightful merging of Merlot and Cabernet Franc flavors – rich plum and blueberry, wild blackberry and bell pepper. The tannins are sturdy here, which is why we hold it for six years before releasing it. By the time you get it you'll be able to enjoy the velvety soft edges. If you feel like laying it down, it will continue to age in bottle for years. Big meats will adore this wine's structure – steak and venison are especially well-suited to its flavors.

2018 Cabernet Franc
We love this wine! This is an incredible full-bodied red, and we never release it before it's had enough time to mellow down. It’s perfect for drinking right now, with a big, bold body, and a zippy little spring of acid. There’s a great base of cacao and plum here, with brighter strawberries on the palate. Black pepper, some fresh garden greens, and dried oregano add to the complexity.

2018 Tiger Juice
New vintage ready for release! We hold on to our Tiger Juice to let it mellow in the bottle a bit, and this one is so delicious now we just can't hold on any longer! This is our take on a classic Côte-Rôtie combination – Syrah co-fermented with a touch of Viognier. The Viognier helps lend stability to its cousin Syrah, while also imparting some of its delightful aromatics to the somewhat more serious grape. It’s a great wine with food. Delightful red fruit and honey on the nose, then in the mouth a juicy drinkable wonderland – blackberries, plums, bacon, all on top of a mellowed out tannin that keeps it going strong in the mouth long after you swallow.
