Celebrate Fall with Rare Wines & Vineyard Stories
As autumn settles in, the landscape transforms with golden light, cooler evenings, and the promise of festive gatherings ahead. To mark the season, we are proud to unveil the Top Flight Fall Release—a curated collection that showcases elegance, complexity, and the remarkable diversity of California’s most celebrated vineyards. Each wine was selected not only for its quality, but also for its ability to capture the spirit of fall: depth, warmth, and enduring sophistication.
2021 Miller Family Chardonnay, Bien Nacido Vineyard – Santa Barbara – $40
A Benchmark Chardonnay from a Legendary Vineyard
Bien Nacido has long been considered one of California’s “Grand Cru” sites, and Miller Family’s Chardonnay is a striking example of why.
Tasting Notes: Layers of Meyer lemon, crisp green apple, and white peach glide into a finish of toasted almond and subtle minerality. A perfect balance of freshness and richness, ideal with roasted poultry or creamy autumn pastas.
2022 10 Ninths Estate Pinot Noir “Sequence Blend” – Sta. Rita Hills – $45
Cool-Climate Precision, Estate Integrity
Crafted from meticulously farmed estate vineyards in Sta. Rita Hills, this Pinot Noir reflects the purity and finesse that have made the region world-renowned.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, and rose petal intertwine with savory notes of tea leaf and forest floor. Silky tannins and bright acidity make this an impeccable companion to fall dishes such as wild mushroom risotto or herb-crusted salmon.
NV Meadowcroft Wines – 20 Year Anniversary Cuvée – Mendocino County – $58
A Celebration of Craft and Legacy
Created to mark Meadowcroft’s twentieth anniversary, this non-vintage red blend honors tradition while showcasing forward-looking artistry.

2017 Surh Mosaique Red Wine – Napa Valley – $35
A Hidden Gem from a Classic Vintage
This approachable yet structured Bordeaux-style blend brings together the richness of Napa fruit with graceful maturity.
Tasting Notes: Blackberry, cassis, and graphite meet hints of cedar and cocoa. Aged to near perfection, this wine is a remarkable value for collectors and an elegant pairing with braised short ribs or fall stews.
2022 Carr Winery Cabernet Franc – Santa Ynez Valley – $50
An Elegant Expression of Cabernet Franc
From the rolling hills of Santa Ynez, Carr’s Cabernet Franc displays both varietal precision and California generosity.
Tasting Notes: Fresh red currant, crushed herbs, and subtle spice lead to a long, graceful finish. Vibrant and aromatic, this wine pairs beautifully with roasted game birds or autumn vegetable dishes.
2020 Theopolis Vineyards Petite Sirah – Mendocino County – $42
Power, Personality, and Place
Theopolis Vineyards has built a cult following for Petite Sirah, and this vintage demonstrates why. Bold, expressive, and unforgettable.
