We’re proud to be working with winemaker David Ramey on our first own-label Sonoma County Chardonnay. From the 2018 vintage, this wine has an attractive, ripe stone-fruit nose, with aromas of orange blossom, ginger and citrus zest adding complexity. Time in French oak has contributed layers of toast and spice, and is generously supported by lively, crisp acidity and a subtle hint of struck match.

We are proud to collaborate with the highly regarded winemaker Jim Clendenen of Au Bon Climat for our Own Selection Santa Barbara Pinot Noir. The 2018’s blueberry and dark cherry aromas combine with a juicy core of brambles and pepper spice that are intrinsic to the style of Au Bon Climat. Benefiting from coastal influence, the wine’s racy acidity provides a wonderful backbone that is supported by luxurious, silky tannins.

For this, the second vintage of our Californian Zinfandel, Ridge Vineyards has carefully sourced the highest-quality grapes from the Sonoma County AVA. The resulting wine displays luscious, wild, red-berry fruit with strawberry jam and chocolate notes. The concentration and spice of the 2018 vintage is wonderfully balanced by the wine’s crunchy acidity and rich tannins.

This vineyard block just keeps getting better with age. It is rich without being heavy, and with moderate alcohol, has great balance for aging. Aged 2 years in barrel and 2 years in bottle so it shows well on the release. It is deeply colored with well integrated flavors of blueberries, cola and hints of black pepper. If you do keep a cellar, you could put this away for another 10-15 years!

The 2015 Quilceda Creek "CVR" Columbia Valley Red Wine is a wonderful preview into the incredible 2015 vintage. A combination of all our vineyard sites, it is filled with satisfying red and blue fruits, smoke, spice and minerals. One of the best CVRs to date, it is the first vintage of CVR that will bear the new label showing an iridescent black version of the classic gold Quilceda Creek label. This blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot will be best enjoyed over the next 15 years.

The 2015 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is a truly majestic wine with great purity, class and breed. The wealth of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry fruit is remarkable, with hints of spring flowers, cocoa powder, roasted herbs, forest floor and minerals. This wine will have a large drinking window due to the seamless integration of all its elements. Drink now through 2037.

he softer, more sexy and up-front style of the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon makes it already drinking and appealing. Deep ruby/purple, with notes of black and red currants, cedar, licorice and forest, the wine has terrific fruit, medium to full body, ripe, well-integrated tannins and adequate acidity. Drink it over the next 15 or so years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

From a site that's next to En Chamberlin that's planted with a 4x4 spacing (the Sur Echalas is 3x3), the 2014 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard offers more fruit (blackberry, black cherry) as well as beautiful notes of violets, rose petal, pepper and earth. Fermented with 100% whole clusters and aged in neutral puncheons, this full-bodied beauty has fine tannin, juicy acidity and a great finish. It's in direct contrast to the more masculine, meaty, umami style of the Sur Echalas Vineyard. Give it 2-3 years and it too will be long lived!

This is the first vintage that the iconic Inglenook name is re-united with the vineyards, and the wine does not disappoint. Classic ripe Napa Cabernet Sauvignon character, skillful winemaking and use of French oak yield a wine of great concentration and surprising elegance. Patient cellaring will be rewarded with great complexity

Espresso, mocha, dark red berries, rose petals and spices are some of the many notes that emerge from the 2008 Harlan Estate. The wine fleshes out beautifully in the glass as it shows off its class and true pedigree. This is a decidedly ripe, forward vintage, but in exchange the wine will drink well right out of the gate. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028.

Just slightly more ruby colored than the Cailloux Vineyard, the 2014 Syrah en Cerise offers more elegance and finesse as well as lots of black cherry, plums, Asian spice and dried lavender aromatics. Full-bodied, elegant and very fine, it's a pretty, perfumed and seamless beauty.

Deep ruby-purple colored, the 2014 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard is intensely scented of crushed raspberries and blackberries with a pretty perfume of violets, wild thyme and mossy bark. Light to medium-bodied, the intensity of flavors is nicely juxtaposed by the ethereal elegance, with soft, fine grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with lingering earthy notes. - Wine Advocate
