Although Grenache Blanc is an unfamiliar grape to some, this is one of our most popular whites. We produce it from Catie's Corner, a vineyard farmed for us by Steve Dutton, one of the most revered winegrowers of the Russian River Valley. Grenache Blanc was a "wakeup" wine for us, when we first tasted it with the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel among components of their Châteauneuf du Pape. Before 2022, we had been a few years without this wine at the winery, and in 2024 we made just a tiny amount. The 2024 vintage is fragrant and enticing, showing a delicate straw color with notes of green apple, loquat, elderflower, and a trace of tarragon.
Made from 70% Grenache Blanc, 16% Viognier, and 14% Roussanne, our 2019 RRV Reserve Cuvée Blanche is a uniquely Californian rendition of the great white blends of Châteauneuf du Pape. The 2019 vintage is a rare wine for us only our second vintage of this wine, but one with a remarkable difference from its predecessor. In 2019, the Grenache Blanc component spent 24 hours on the skins, yielding a golden richness in the finished wine. As such, the Viognier and its opulence have been attenuated slightly. Even so, this wine has a fairly rich profile, with notes of golden raspberry, spiced pear, green tea, and delicate allspice.
The Pinot Noir at Kirk Williams Ranch is deeply flavorful with rich fruit, complex earthiness, and alluring spice. Kirk Williams Ranch is adjacent to the famed Garys' Vineyard (the land of which Kirk also owns) and just south of the renowned Rosella's Vineyard. Under Kirk's care and guidance, this vineyard has established its own outstanding reputation. We make this Pinot Noir from Pommard 4, 667, and 777 cuttings. The 2022 vintage was fermented with 10% whole clusters and has a focus on the 777 cutting. We expect it to be among the classics from this vineyard, showing spiced cherry, ripe plum, bramble, violets, loaminess, and baking spice.
Sonoma County has a proud history of agriculture, from dairies to apples to winegrowing, and more. This wine honors this history. Whereas most of our wines from the Russian River Valley and beyond in Sonoma County reflect a more classic, Old World style, this wine showcases an intensity that many have come to expect from this region in the last twenty years. While produced primarily from Pinot Noir grown in 2021, this wine also contains a bit of 2022 to further amplify its intensity and depth of flavor. The result is a delicious cuvée featuring notes of dark raspberry, rose hips, and underwood, with traces of soft, sweet pipe tobacco and leather.
There is so much demand for Pinot Noir in the Santa Lucia Highlands that sometimes it's easy to forget how delightful the cool-climate Syrah is here too. Sadly, many growers have grafted over their Syrah to other things. We make our Tondre Grapefield Syrah from a field blend of uncertain heritage. We were excited to discover this small block in 2016, the same vintage when we started our Syrah at Las Madres Vineyard in Carneros to the north. We have made both wines ever since. 2022 yielded a unique Syrah here, surprisingly reflective of Cabernet Sauvignon, with enchanting notes of black currant, cassis, vanilla, cocoa nibs, and earthy, toasted brioche.
