Seps Estate Cabernet 2005                 

The same structure, finesse, and purity of fruit that have long characterized Storybook Mountain Zinfandels are evident in Seps Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. These qualities reflect the estate vineyard's relatively cool climate, its clay-loam soils, and its easterly and northerly exposures. The style of the wines also reflects Jerry Seps' preference for wines of moderate alcohol, intense, focused fruit and exemplary balance. $65. 



Seps Estate Viognier 2007                   

Barrel fermented to dryness and aged on its lees, this sensual white wine is unusually aromatic and flavorful, with an exceptionally full middle palate. $35.

** - 91 Points - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

"Lovely aromas of white peaches, Bosc pears and honeysuckle are joined by hints of hardwoods in the rich and pulpy first impression. The wine is full bodied in weight and exceptionally well-balanced in spite of its evident viscosity.  Its flavors are long and rich, pulpy and minerally, nicely on-point and promise to get better over time.  Despite early charms, this one can be laid away for several years

"Pure, laid-back aromas of cassis, violet and licorice root. Juicy, pure and nicely delineated, with a penetrating cedary  quality and firm underlying structure. Finishes with fine tannins and subtle persistence."

Antaeus  2005                                                         750 ml   sold out      

"A blend of Zinfandel, cabernet, merlot and petit verdot, this is packed with fresh scents of wild berries, both red and black. There's density to the wine, its depth sustained by tannins that feel substantial and sweet."
