A fan favorite! Humbaba (the name taken from the ancient tale of Gilgamesh), is an aromatic blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah with a touch of Grenache and Mourvèdre. Ages exceptionally well with extraordinary complexity and depth.
Dominated by the aromatic Grenache that just explodes from the glass with blueberry and wild briary fruit. Quite bright and complex fruit aromas. This is a blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre. On the palate, the blueberry and crushed red fruit are the basis for a very pretty and enjoyable wine displaying elegance, but also with a bit of earthiness provided by the Mourvèdre.
This GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) blend offers complex crushed red fruits of raspberries, cherries and blackberries, enhanced with spice and a bit of tar in this pretty nose. Round entrance of red fruits supported with acid giving the wine length and balance.

This limited production Pinot Noir exudes black cherry liqueur and spice with hints of new oak. On the palate it is warm with good acidity in the midpalate and a long finish.
Gorgeous first release from the iconic Steiner Vineyard. Green olive tapenade, smoked meat, and blackberries. Reminiscent of Côte-Rôtie with subtle power and elegance.
