1,400 feet... this wine is pretty lofty grown at 1/4 mile high! This vintage is lovely - Again - Rich, dense, dark, ripe, cherry, earthy, and soft silky-robust tannins invite you to another taste one after another. Our 2021 Howell Mountain Cabernet barreled down in 75% new French Oak barrels for 8 months and then bottled. Share a bottle of this wine with your favorite wine lover! ~Nancy

GOLD MEDAL - 2024 OC Fair Commercial Wine Competition

Our little Ponytails yield mighty flavors of concentrated blackberry, ripe fig, high-toned cherry, white pepper, and violets, all on a dreamy bed of vanilla crème and mocha pillows.  It is grown North of the town of Healdsburg just a heartbeat from the Healdsburg Airport.  The vines are small and struggle to grow in soil rich in gravel and hilly conditions.  We let this vintage hang well into the first week of harvest - but a blast of hot air - from a heatwave -brought us to our knees and we picked these. This wine is rich in white pepper, violets, bright blackberry, and dark chocolate on the finish.  Only 75 cases made and it may come down to first-come-first-serve for this beautiful wine. With 16.5% alcohol - this wine is certainly not shy but well balanced and lovely! Took GOLD at the 2020 SAN FRANCISCO WINE COMPETITION.  More will certainly follow.  Thank you to our growers Laurie and Robert Pouseman at the Pony Ranch in Healdsburg!  Sante!  Nancy

Step One:  Bleed off the low alcohol, low color juice at the press.  Step Two:  Take remaining grapes and skins and ferment to dryness,  Step Three:  Barrel down for 9 months after fermentation.  Step four:   Drink with a friend!  We used these grapes to make our rose and then the balance of the skins were fermented .  The resulting zinfandel wine is super concentrated, and deliciously rich.Spicey berry pie flavors and dark chocolate on smooth, velvety tannis.  - Nancy

These wine infused Premium Oak Pellets are made right here in Wine Country by owners Brenda and Tom Reed.  They use wood that was aging in California Red Wines for 3-18 months prior to drying and pelletizing.  The wines used may be one or more varietals like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Caberne Franc, Merlot, Syrah, or Petite Sirah from sunny California.  Add and enrich the flavors during your BBQ any time.  Makes a great gift for that special someone either back yard BBQ or camping n the go! 

Our 2015 Carignane continues its heritage as a real wine lover's wine. It's made from old vine Carignane in Oat Valley, located along the very northern rim of the Alexander Valley. This grape is usually the last to be harvested every year and well worth the wait! My favorite wine to drink at home. Take a bottle home with you, and you will agree! ~Nancy
