Rondinella
Filter
Rondinella is a red grape varietal hailing from Italy’s region of Veneto. Rondinella is most often present in the blending of Valpolicella and Barolino. Rondinella will produce extremely large yields. Unfortunately, having high yields can often mean a lesser quality. For this reason, Rondinella is rarely thought of as its own variety. In the blending process, it will ad flavors of herb and substantial texture to Corvina wines. In recent studies and DNA profiling, it has been revealed that Corvina is an ancestor of the Rondinella grape. The typical thick skin of the Rondinella (which it shares with Corvina) makes for a sturdy grape type that is much less susceptible to disease and rot. It makes for an ideal grape type for drying out methods, such as appassimento, for making recioto and straw wines. Rondinella produces an extremely neutral flavor that also allows for easy blending.

Review:
Fresh violets, lilac, wild plums, allspice and wild herbal aromas pour from the glass. The focused palate shows tart cherry preserves, warmed cloves, roasted coffee and dark chocolate that finishes with a crushed chalk minerality. Fine tannins are present but in balance, working with fresh acidity to keep this wine in harmony. Drink now–2045.

We are delighted to offer our first Beckstoffer Georges III bottling in many years. The spectacular vineyard site with its back to the Silverado Trail is the historic site of the grand old BV masterpieces produced for most of the last century. It is as pure an expression of Napa Valley terroir as is available anywhere, from anyone. Ripe and round black fruits, spice, blueberry, and cedar, and cigar box aromas are echoed on the palate and balanced by a preternatural lift from natural acidity and a swell of earth notes. A stunning achievement.
Review:
Thick in sage brush, dried herb and earth, this wine is powerfully built and unabashedly ripe. Dark black fruit, mocha and graphite notes arise along the thick, intense palate, leading to finishing touches of slate and iron. Cellaring will help to tame the tannins; enjoy from 2028–2035.

Secure your taste of this limited release. If bright and fresh fruit flavors are your thing, our small-production wine is definitely your type. Sourced from a single vineyard in Santa Ynez Valley, this release showcases what makes the Central Coast such a special place to grow Cabernet Sauvignon.
Our Santa Ynez Cabernet Sauvignon is full of wild blackberries and blackcurrants, layered with nuances of cassis, tobacco and allspice adding complexity to the fruit. The palate is deliciously long, carrying the core of dark fruit on the palate through to the finish with fine supple tannins.
