 Grown at 1400' elevation in the Sierra Foothills, the 2013 Dalton Vineyard Calavera Grenache is a spicy, red fruit driven wine.
 
The nose has very pretty spices and strawberry preserves. The taste has a nice minerality and brings on even more spices, notably licorice & black pepper and more sweet red berry fruits.  This wine is light on the oak, high on the spicy fruit.

Wine Enthusiast Magazine- James Gordon
 Not your usual dark and superripe California wine, this is light in color with a brick-brown edge. It smells lightly spicy, almost like salt and pepper, and tastes dry, beefy and also a bit like raspberries and black tea. It's a great change of pace and very interesting to taste.

 This beautiful wine grown at 2000' elevation in the Sierra Foothills carries a nice acidity and minerality that comes from this 100% Albariño.  A very nice light citrus nose, is followed by a bright acidity balanced by the minerality one should expect from this high elevation vineyard.  

Wine Enthusiast Magazine - James Gordon
​An aroma like baking bread and flavors like apricots, butter and almonds combine for a generous taste impression. The texture matches crispness and smoothness, providing good balance. This is dry, light bodied and feels lean while still delivering upbeat flavors.
