Spring 2025 Release Wines:
2022 Petite Sirah

Aromas of blueberries and red plum combined with spicy and mineral aromas of black pepper, anise and vanilla lead to a complex nose.

Fall 2025 Release Wines:
2023 Zinfandel
Aromas of blueberries, blackberries, dark fig and dates lean into more savory notes of BBQ mesquite and grilled portabellos. Floral notes of deep rose, wild violets and plumeria create a beautiful complexity on the nose. A slight sweetness rounds out the soft tannins on the mid-palate. The tangy acidity makes the fruit pop on the palate and makes you want to go back for another sip. This wine pairs great with a backyard summer BBQ.

On the nose, dark red fruit notes of black raspberry and black cherry are blended with notes of rose, mint and dark chocolate. The Syrah adds a distinct pepperiness on the nose and the palate.

2023 Cabyrah

This classic Dresser blend mimics the great Shiraz-Cab blends of Australia. The wine opens to a beautiful nose of blue plum, violet, candied red licorice “red vines” and cocoa. The Syrah adds a pepperiness and red spice character on the nose and the palate. On the palate, the tannins are well integrated and structured.

2023 Lajur
Varietals: Cabernet, Syrah, Zinfandel, & Petite Sirah
A blend of our single favorite barrel each of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Petite Sirah. The initial fruit aromas are tart red and black fruits of blackberry, black cherry and red plum. Savory earthy aromas of eggplant, Portobello mushrooms and black olive develop as the wine evolves in the glass. The aromas are rounded out by toasted coconut and vanilla from the barrel. This full-bodied red blend has juicy acidity, well structured tannins, and a savory finish of pepper and earthy truffle. This wine can be enjoyed now or be aged 3-5 years and will be even more savory and rounder with velvety tannins. This is a great wine to pair with hearty root vegetable dishes or stews.
