Our 2024 Rosé is 100% Grenache Noir from 32 year-old vines. The clones are Alban and Tablas Creek, which are originally from Chateauneuf Du Pape. In 2024, we experienced some early September heat, which really amplified the fruit and richness of our Grenache. Right from the fermenter, wiinemaker Jason Valenti has advicated that this is the best Grenache rosé he has ever made, and after several blending trials with our Mourvedre rosé, he was right! This vintage is slightly darker with intense fruit, texture and spicy complexity. It is a pristine example of why Unti is known as THE source for Provencal rosé in California. - MU

The 2024 vintage is precisely why Vermentino is such a great grape for California. An early September heat wave resulted in  expressive fruit without losing the vibrant natural acidity that has become a hallmark of our Vermentino. We now have almost 4 acres of Vermentino planted to 3 clones from Provence and Liguria. The Ligurian clones, planted in 2018 are contributing body and complexity, while the original Provencal clone offers exotic fruit. Fermented and aged in stainless steel and concrete tanks, this is a serious Vermentino that will compete with the worlds' best renditions from any country. - MU

100% Fiano

Our Fiano comes from two small vineyard blocks, planted in 2011 and 2018. Fiano, in my opinion, is the most interesting and distinctive white wine in Southern Italy. It has expressive honey, almond-pear aromas and flavors in a richly textured, but crisp wine. In 2024, an early September heat wave helped to amplify more fruit, while maintining the bright acidity you have come to expect from Unti, which is more vibrant than Fiano from Italy.  It's fermented and aged in both stainless steel and concrete tanks with no ML. Fiano is tremendously versitile, as it can stand up to full flavored food. - MU

100% Grenache Blanc

We have been growing Grenache Blanc since 2004, and now have almost 2 acres planted. As you would expect, Grenache Blanc is our most full bodied white. What isn't typical of the variety is that it is consistently our highest acid white - giving it the steely personality of a French Chablis, but with more fruit. The 2024 has a bit deeper color than the previously, but don't be fooled, this is no "orange wine." It has bright green apple and spice aromas and flavors with racy acidity. It is fermented and aged in concrete tanks, with no oak. The 2024 shows a bit riper fruit with incredible textue. It is a full-bodied vintage that will pair with richer food. This is Jason's favorite vintage, and it is easy to see why. - MU

40% Vermentino, 40% Grenache Blanc, 20% Picpoul

Cuvée Blanc was our first white wine from an experimental vineyard block planted in 2004, containing Vermentino, Grenache Blanc and Picpoul. We now have almost 6 acres planted combined, and it is still our most complex white wine. Grenache Blanc, the foundation for many Châteauneuf-du-Pape white wines, lends body, richness and texture. Vermentino offers floral fruity aromas and flavor, while Picpoul adds a lovely citrus edge. In 2024, we experienced some early September heat, giving us more concentrated fruit and richness. As always, this wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel and concrete with no ML. Clearly my favorite Unti white wine, and one that will likely age well over the next 2-3 years. - MU

This 100% Picpoul Blanc comes from two small vineyard blocks planted in 2004 and 2018. We planted Picpoul to compliment Vermentino and Grenache Blanc in our Cuvée Blanc. Our young vine Picpoul has a bit more personality and depth than what you find in France's Languedoc region, which has inspired us to bottle a small amount on its own. Picpoul is medium bodied with amazing citrus aromas and flavors. It has been a hit with our mailing list previously, so our inventory will not last long. - MU

75% Zinfandel, 20% Petite Sirah, 5% Barbera

The 2022 vintage is a great example of vineyard pedigree over vintage. Overall, 2022 was a good vintage but we had to navigate an early September heatwave, which is a formidable threat for this thin-skinned variety.  Fortunately our 24 year-old Primitivo vineyard came through unscathed (little dehydrated grapes) and delivered one fo the best Zinfandel's in Unti history. This, along with our Benchland PetiteSirah made a full-bodied wine that is also juicy and perfectly balanced, aided by a touch of Barbera. It will age nicely over the next 3 to 5 years. Our Zin program has never been better.

100% Syrah

Once again this Syrah comes entirely from our Creekside block, planted in 1998. The clone is from our original Benchland vineyard planted in gravelly, sandy loam that facilitates a balanced canopy and crop level. Additionally, this is the coolest microclimate within our 60 acres, adding a bright fruit compentent to the dark savory Syrah notes. While the 2022 vintage had some minor challenges in September (a heat wave followed by a light rain), you would never know from tasting this wine. Dark, deep and complex, this Syrah has the potential to age 5 to 8 years.

This Syrah comes from our oldest vineyard block located on our Benchland property. Planted in 1991, these vines produce small, thick skinned berries which provide distinct blackberry, bay leaf, cassis and savory flavors that are different from any of our other Syrah vineyard blocks. 2022 featured some early September heat which resulted in riper tannins, making this vintage easier to enjoy at an early stage. Rich, textured, and complex, this 2022 Benchland should age well over the next 3 to 5 years.
