"The wine is well balanced, showing bright floral, pink grapefruit and stone fruit characters. The Sauvignon Musqué adds a good weight to the body, with flavors of wet stone, minerality and melon, with a finish that is crisp and invigorating."

Tasting Notes
2018 SAUVIGNON BLANC
Since 2005, the source of fruit for our crisp “California Style” Sauvignon Blanc is a blend Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Musque grapes primarily grown in Yountville. This 2018 vintage shows a floral nose with pink grapefruit, tropical fruit, tart citrus, lemongrass and tangerine peel. These flavors carry into the mouth with great acidity, showing hints of melon, Meyer lemon, sweet lime and stone fruit.
"Across the board, the 2016 Two Old Dogs cabernet Sauvignon is a showier vintage than the 2014 and 2015, and jumps out of the glass with ripe fruit and bold expression of its mountain terroir. It shows amazing aromatics, fresh black cherry, a big body and good weight in mouth."

Tasting Notes
2016 CABERNET
A classic vintage, but a bit more opulent and fruit forward than the 2014, showing deeper blue and red fruits of dried cherry and black raspberry. There is a tobacco leaf and herbal character in the fruit which highlights the lushness of the wine. This wine is well balanced and very approachable, plush and juicy in the mouth, but with greater depth and more of a leathery character than the previous vintages.
"I feel that we were very successful on our quest to making a lighter-style, dry, sipping wine made from a base of Grenache and Carignan whole grapes, pressed off with just a hint of salmon color and a suggestions of tart summer fruit."
Michael Trujillo, Winemaker
Tasting Notes
2018 ROSÉ
This Rose is fresh and crisp, with little complexity but lots of fun appeal. It has a lovely light pink/salmon hue and shows hints of rose petals with wild strawberries, peach, and watermelon in the nose. The wine is low in alcohol, completely dry, but bright and delicate in the mouth with a crisp and refreshing finish.
