Begin your journey with the Veraison Project collaboration Sparkling wine, a celebratory cuvée marking Brenae Royal’s 11-year tenure as vineyard manager at the iconic Monte Rosso Vineyard. Sourced from the Russian River Valley, this demi-sec sparkling wine features a thoughtful dosage of Sauvignon Blanc, bringing lift and precision. The wine leans into the elegance of Goldridge soils, offering a delicate balance of soft sweetness, crisp salinity, and refreshing brightness. It's an effortless expression of summer.

From there, discover the rare Semillon, crafted from some of the oldest Semillon vines in the world. Dry-farmed and deeply rooted, this wine reveals layers of honeydew, wet stone, and citrus blossom, carried by vibrant acidity and a refined mineral edge. Extremely limited in production, it is as fleeting as it is profound.

For those drawn to reds, the Grenache offers an unexpected entry point. This marks the first-ever standalone Grenache from Monte Rosso Vineyard. Light on its feet yet expressive, it opens with lifted, perfumed aromatics and glides across the palate with elegance. Despite its structure, it remains airy and balanced, an inviting and nuanced introduction.

Next, step into the old-vine Zinfandel, a true cornerstone of the collection. Sourced from multiple historic blocks across the vineyard, this wine is layered and dynamic, with a full-bodied presence that captures the depth and character of Monte Rosso. A standout favorite, it delivers richness, spice, and energy in equal measure, it's an undeniable expression of California Zinfandel at its finest.

At Monte Rosso, Cabernet Sauvignon reigns, though here, it carries itself with quiet confidence. This expression challenges expectation, offering a more restrained and lifted style. Notes of blackberry, baked cherry, earth, and black tea unfold with precision, supported by vibrant acidity. Approachable now without decanting, yet structured for longevity, it’s a study in balance and intention.

Finally, complete the journey with Cabernet Franc, a wine that redefines the varietal. Farmed with deliberate stress to minimize green characteristics, this expression reveals depth and complexity, with layers of forest floor, fresh herbs, violet, and a touch of mint. It is both grounded and expressive, offering a compelling close to the Violet’s Paradise collection.
