The 2021 RJM is a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, 5% Sangiovese, and 5% Primitivo, aged for 20 months in 20% new European oak. This commemorative bottling honors founder Robert Joseph Molinaro, who passed away in 2023. Ripe currant and cassis lead the aromatics, joined by violets, rose petals, fig jam, and a subtle meatiness that builds across the medium-bodied palate. The wine is framed by granular tannins and finishes with lengthy notes of black licorice and olive tapenade. The Dell Valle wines are made at Garré by winemaker Aaron Luna.

Strawberry and raspberry fruit lead the charge, with watermelon notes building in volume and richness across the palate. The creamy, enveloping mousse resolves into a delicate off-dry sweetness, echoing just-ripe cherries and freshly picked farmers’ market strawberries—clean, bright, and thoroughly expressive. The 2023 Glide Rosé is a field blend and co-ferment of Cabernet Franc and Lemberger, sourced entirely from the certified sustainable, 21-acre Airy Acres Vineyard on the west side of Cayuga Lake in New York’s Finger Lakes. Both varieties were harvested on the same day, given roughly eight hours of skin contact, then pressed and co-fermented in stainless steel.
