Our current releases, listed alphabetically. Yes, some of these look 'too old to be current' - that's our long barrel time and bottle aging before we release! Trust us, it's something good!
Estate Blend: 76% Zinfandel, 19% Grenache, 5% Petite Sirah
The “Bullpen” seemed destined to come together as previous Via Vega Cab/ Merlot blends have and was enhanced with a kiss of Petite Sirah. A bit of attention to the firm yet supple mid palate weight of these wines express the importance of the quality and time in the barrel.
This Cabernet Sauvignon shows patience in barrel aging to allow for softer tannin profile.
This wine enjoyed 30 months in barrel with 25% new barrels from Hungary. The extracton from this vintage is a bit more complex, presenting a wine of more dramatic style.
This wine is a sister to our 2017 "La Perla”. This lot enjoyed an additional 6 months of oak aging for a total of 3 years.
The Pinot Noir slept in barrel a mere six months with 30% of the barrel lot in new French Oak. This enhanced the structure of the wine without masking the varietal fruit character.
Estate Syrah
When a Syrah evolves into a wine this mysterious and rich I label it under the Via Vega black label as it shows a bit more seriousness in flavor.
This is Tempranillo is quite a contender for attention. A bit of a monster. Let this one breathe. This wine has two personalities, goes from monster to elegant, once it’s open you will see what I mean.
This Zinfandel is really enticing - if it were possible to drink a Red Cloud this is the flavor you would enjoy.
