The 2023 version of Captûre Pine Mountain Sauvignon Blanc is mysterious. The aromas are layered, bouncing between lime zest, lemon verbena, and some slate. The aroma isn’t complete without the vineyard's trademark hint of savory mountain scrub best described as soft chamomile or dried sage – this time with some added lychee. The palate is zippy! The natural acidity is extremely bright and framed by the variety’s trademark fruit bouquet of fresh key lime, dried orange, and a hint of fresh jasmine tea. The initial fruit is balanced by an elegant texture and an overall softness that is achieved through lees stirring, which also helps in balancing the high acidity. Yum. What a pleasure it has been making this wine from such an incredible single vineyard site. - Sam Teakle, Winemaker

Rosé
2023
"The 2023 Rosé of Syrah is the first of its kind. The tiny Syrah block sits high up on Alexander Mountain at around 1,600 feet in elevation, producing tiny berries packed with flavor. In the glass, the wine’s aromatics shine. Fresh peach and floral notes, hints of spice, and some watermelon rind smell like summer. On the palate, watermelon, orange zest and tart raspberry are braced by the trademark playful acidity. The wine has a wonderful mineral texture reminiscent of Provence, but from a mountain in Sonoma! Enjoy." - Sam Teakle, Winemaker

The 2021 Cabernet is generous and full of power. 7% Merlot is blended in to add some blue fruit characters to the classic cassis, maraschino cherry and notes of flint. The palate has generous velvety mountain tannins (a hallmark of our estate vineyard) and dense black fruit black berry, cherry and cedary spice. This is all balanced by a hint of coffee and chocolate to entice another sip.

Pine Mountain
2021 Merlot
Dark blue fruits, heavy savory spice and mountain scrub provide a seductive nose. Only 7% Cabernet Sauvignon made it into this year's blend, selected from a lighter block which brings bright red fruits and just enough tannins to bolster the gorgeous mountain Merlot. Blueberry, cherry, some dried herbs like sage and a forest floor like character, allspice and a hint of cinnamon. Silky smooth tannins that linger, all framed in balanced acid with just a hint of fine oak.
