Tan Fruit from the Maresh Family This week, we are excited to bring you the highly anticipated new releases from Tan Fruit, a brand-new project from Jim Maresh, proprietor of his family winery, Arterberry Maresh. Jim has a storied history as winemaker behind some of the most exciting Chardonnays in the Willamette Valley. Much of the fruit for the Arterberry Maresh wines are sourced from older estate vines, and very few cases are made each year. In 2019, Maresh founded Tan Fruit, for which he purchases fruit.

This week we bring you a special wine from our friends Massimo and Erin Di Costanzo and their namesake winery. The 2019 Di Costanzo Caldwell Cabernet Sauvignon where only 200 cases were produced. Di Costanzo’s passionate focus is single-vineyard, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon. At every site they source from, there is a magical combination of responsible farming, mature vines, temperate micro-climates and soils formed by the region’s volcanic past. All of the Di Costanzo wines have their own distinct story, but when tasted comparatively, they all exemplify the best of Napa and Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon. The newest release presented today comes from the famed Caldwell Vineyard...
