Annual Spring Release
The 2021 vintage of Progeny's white wine includes Grenache Blanc in the blend for the third time. We harvested during late August and early September. The winemaking team employed whole cluster press techniques and fermented in a combination of French oak, concrete, and stainless steel. In the glass, our Trinity Blanc shines with its brilliant appearance of medium straw yellow with a slight green hue. It offers expressive aromas of white flowers, mandarin zest, and pineapple, with subtle notes of fresh herbs adding depth and intrigue. On the palate a perfect balance of fresh, mouthwatering acidity and lush flavors of green strawberry, golden apple, and citrus, with a touch of honeycomb. Its creamy texture, combined with a minerally backbone, culminates in a clean, lively finish, leaving a lingering citrus peel and savory note. Versatile and refined, this exquisite wine is a perfect match for seafood, creamy cheeses, or rich pasta dishes, making it an essential addition to any collection or dining experience.
Varieties: Marsanne (40%), Roussanne (31%), Viognier (23%), Grenache Blanc (6%)

Annual Spring Release
This seventh vintage of Trinity Rouge is crafted from Estate-grown traditional Southern Rhône red varieties, then meticulously aged for 22 months in French oak, followed by an additional 30 months in bottle to achieve perfect harmony. This blend showcases an inky red core with a purple hue. On the nose, enticing aromas of brambly black fruit, cracked pepper, delicate lavender, and hints of smoked meats create a complex bouquet that draws you in. The palate reveals vibrant flavors of boysenberries, ripe plums, and allspice, gracefully balanced with chalky tannins and a long, lingering finish. Its elegant structure makes it a standout now, yet its aging potential promises even greater rewards. This would be wonderfully paired with rich, flavorful dishes like grilled lamb, sautéed wild mushrooms, and game meats.
Varieties: Syrah (43%), Grenache (28%), Mourvèdre (22%) & Counoise (7%)

Annual Fall Release
Progeny’s Special Selection Reserve S.S.R. presents a luscious expression of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Our 12th vintage remained in French oak for 32 months, followed by 36 months of bottle aging before release.
The color shows a dark red purple color with a purple hue. Deep and fragrant aromas of wild black fruits, lavender, crushed rocks, and brown sugar pull you into the glass. On the palate, you’ll find flavors of vivacious black raspberry laced with cocoa powder and toasted exotic vanilla bean. We hope the great complexity and balance with a texture that simultaneously exhibits power but finishes with silky tannins will delight you. This dense yet bright wine contains great depth. We believe you may age this wine in your cellar for another 20+ years. You also may enjoy it now with a 45 - 60 minute decant.
Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (100%)
Appellation: Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley
Annual Fall Release
The 2019 cuvée rested 22 months in French oak and 24 months in bottle, reflecting Progeny’s approach to extended aging prior to release for all our wines. The dark purple color, with an opaque center, foretells a wine of enticing aromas: powerfully aromatic boysenberry, rose petal, dark-roast coffee beans, and cassis. Flavors of mixed berry compote, black cherry and graphite integrate smoothly with great length and silky tannins.
