Dry Creek Valley has a Mediterranean climate similar to Southern France and Spain where Grenache Blanc is commonly grown. We harvest our Grenache Blanc at moderate sugars to acheive a more mineral-driven version that we prefer over the opulent style of Grenache Blanc that is more prevalent in California, especially on the Central Coast. This wine was fermented and aged in concrete tanks which preserved bright aromas of green apple, lemon oil, and wet stone. It is crisp and textured on the palate with high natural acidity.

Our selective approach in the vineyard combined with a great growing season resulted in a wine that resembles high-end Barbera from Asti. This wine jumps out of the glass with juicy dark berry fruit. On the palate it is energetic with driving acidity and silky tannin. 

100% Barbera

This vintage of Segromigno is intense, showing dark cherry fruit with cocoa and tobacco undertones. It is layered and lively on the palate with bright acidity and solid tannin structure. The Sangiovese we used for this wine is superior to what we have used in the past years due to our attention to detail in the vineyard. The Montepulciano in the blend provides substantial depth and richness. It is a perfect wine for the dinner table and will develop nicely in bottle for another 4 or 5 years.  

72% Sangiovese, 28% Montepulciano.

100% Vermentino from our original planting in 2004 and a couple of small vineyard blocks grafted in 2010 and 2016. When we planted Vermentino in 2004 we had no idea it would perform so well in Dry Creek Valley. Expressive floral, appley fruit with great minerality and energy from acidity. Fermented and aged in stainless steel. Love this wine.
