100% ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON

96 Points & Double Gold Medal - Sunset International Wine Competition

A powerful and elegant offering with aromas of crushed blackberries, melted chocolate, red delicious apples, pomegranate, raspberry juice, salted caramel, taffy, mulled spices, leather, and plums.

The palate opens with bold youthful energy, thick, dense, round, and focused, with juicy plum flesh caramel mocha, strawberry pulp, chocolate cake batter, and velvety tannins that grace the long and luxurious finish.

Engaging aromas of ripe red cherries, dusty milk chocolate, fresh leather, sarsaparilla, fig jam, cracked white pepper, olive tapenade, orange pith, sugar plums, and vanilla cake batter. The palate opens with silkiness, grabbing attention with a finely wound youthful structure, and lively flavors of cherry pie, shortbread cookies, and caramelized coconut - the three clones still coalescing on the teardrop-shaped mouthfeel and creamy milk chocolate icing finish. Enjoy this rare Pinot Noir again and again as it evolves over the next decade.

An ethereal melange of tangerines, peaches, pineapples, and white pears swirl and entice on the nose. The palate opens deep, silky, and round with Meyer lemon, creme fraiche, honeydew melon, alfalfa, clover, cold red licorice, and stone fruits, along with some other newly invented categories of dreamy summer fruit deliciousness. 

Youthful and summery aromas of fresh flowers, strawberries, clover, rose petal, strawberry lemonade, night-blooming jasmine, and cinnamon dust. The palate is creamy and quenching with flavors of lemonade, powdered sugar, white pear, tangerine juice, iced tea, and starburst. Enjoy through 2030.

The 2022 Okapi Chardonnay is back for the first new vintage since 2013.

For this elegantly styled chardonnay, we gently press the whole grape clusters directly to French oak barrels, fermenting at cool temperatures with minimal intervention to create a balanced fruit-forward wine that pairs beautifully with food, but is equally rewarding on its own.

Okapi Cuvée is our premium red wine blend, boasting rich aromas of cherries jubilee, salted caramel and vanilla bean, giving way to flavors of black cherry, mocha, maple and blackberry. Its elegance comes from our estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, handcrafted with whole-berry fermentation and splashed with zinfandel and petit verdot.

97 Points & Best in Class - Harvest Terroir Competition

96 Points & Double Gold Medal - North Coast Wine Challenge

A beautifully layered Cabernet with aromas of ripe strawberry, chocolate, candied plum, fresh ginger, toasted cardamom, Marcona almond, maraschino cherry, cloves, char, maple, grape candy, and leather. 

On the palate, massive, juicy, and layered, with fleshy plum meat, fresh caramel, black cherry, German chocolate cake, and vanilla bean, finishing in waves of flavor that seem to go on and on.

85% estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petite Verdot, this red wine is friendly with food, and a marvelous introduction to the flavors of Jungle Love Vineyard.

This wine blend layers old vine Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Merlot over our Jungle Love Vineyard-grown Cabernet for an entirely new sensation. At 75% Cabernet, it still has all the goodness of the estate grown premium Cab, but feels just a little lighter in body and more playful in flavor profile.
