2024 Rosé of Cabernet Franc
95 Points – The Tasting Panel
"On the palate, its mineral tones glisten, with notes of apricot and rose petals inked with tangerine. Fresh and vibrant."
Our wines start in the vineyard and end in your glass…or do they continue on in your memory? Wine's promise is only realized when a bottle is uncorked to accompany moments big and small, to add a bit of ritual to your days and enjoyment to your meals. The measure of that wine is if it finds itself poured out generously. May our reputation be measured in vivid memories and empty bottles.

"...notes of nectarine blossom soften the tart nature of lemon rind. A Sauvignon Blanc with some weight is successful when it also shows vibrancy, as does this expressive white."

97 Points + Best in Show – Decanter World Wine Awards 2025
"On the palate, the wine has splendid depth and width, lightness of touch, an aerial grace, and a lithe ease of line to the tannins; the acidity remains tenderly supportive."
94 Points – The Wine Independent
"Full-bodied palate with black fruit layers, supported by lightly chewy tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and savory.” –Lisa Perrotti Brown
99 Points – The Tasting Panel
"A wine made to evolve in the glass, it starts with aromas of blueberry-accented lavender and moves to silky tannins with a wink at dusty garrigue. Juicy, soft, and broad, with a line of espresso in between its layers."
We'd love to hear from you.
“In the early ‘80s, my grandfather, John Goelet, commissioned cartoonist Ronald Searle to create a series of illustrations capturing the quirks and charm of the wine world. John and Ronald had become close friends through their shared love of the arts and humor and wanted to bring joy and laughter to the world of wine. I remember fondly my childhood leafing through a series of books that documented these illustrations. Something I keep at my desk as a reminder that wine should never be taken too seriously and that humor will always liven the mood. We wanted to share this as a way of remembering my grandfather, and bring some joy and humor to our world of wine without compromising the focus and attention we bring to our craft.”
