We hear it all the time at the winery: although Sauvignon Blanc is the most recognizable white wine that we make, ours is something different. We produce it from Matthew's Station, another of our vineyards under the care and attention of renowned winegrower Steve Dutton. This wine began as a Private Label project we did for a local farm-to-table restaurant, but now we keep almost all to share at the winery. We love this wine for its unique balance of brightness and volume after a little aeration in the glass. The 2020 vintage shows notes of white nectarine and elderflower, with a trace of clove, and a minerality-driven finish of Persian lime.

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 2019 vintage was fermented with 18% whole clusters. It is an elegant, more delicate rendition than usual, with notes of Brooks cherry, bramble, and violets, complemented by a touch of chalky minerality and black tea.

The Pinot Noir at Tondre Grapefield is often our darkest with deeply satisfying fruit and complex savory attributes. Tondre Grapefield is farmed by multi-generational winegrower Joe Alarid. It is just down the road from Kirk Williams Ranch, so comparisons between the two are provocative. We make this wine from Pommard 4, 667, and 943 cuttings planted in the mid-1990s, among our oldest vines. While Pommard 4 and 667 are well known to the area, 943 is a less common cutting with extremely small, flavorful clusters. The 2021 vintage has an especially dark color with luscious notes of black cherry, cedar box, vanilla, and clove, interwoven with wildflower.

Most Syrah in California is planted in vineyards that grow other varietals as well. At Las Madres Vineyard, growers John Painter and Jean Gadiot had a different idea: they planted a vineyard dedicated entirely to Syrah, except for a few interspersed Viognier vines. This is cool-climate Syrah, with many dimensions beyond just dark, rich fruit. We usually co-ferment a small amount of the Viognier in the style of Côte Rôtie. We make this wine from 174 and 300 cuttings. Small, flavorful berries from this vineyard in 2020 created a wine with a special intensity of blue fruits and gorgeous floral elements, with earthier hints of tapenade and wild fennel.
