What is the Wine Portfolio?
Arrowood
- Arrowood wines are produced using grapes exclusively from Sonoma County
in order to utilize and intensify the broad array of flavors that the vineyards
here provide. We do this by doing as little as possible to the wine - enhancing
what Mother Nature provides with the judicious use of oak aging and layering of
flavors based upon the terrior of a given vineyard. Sonoma County's agricultural
bounty has given us all the tools to make great wines!
Atalon
- Atalon has emerged on the wine scene with a provenance firmly rooted
in the Napa Valley. The story begins with a ghost winery that sits atop
Howell Mountain on a prestigious vineyard dating back to the 1880’s.
Atalon was created to revive the vineyards past accomplishments and
to build on the area’s reputation for producing remarkable red
Bordeaux wines. To integrate the diverse flavors found throughout the
Napa Valley, the wines explore the best districts for high quality Cabernet
Sauvignon and Merlot, including Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, Diamond
Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, Atlas Peak and Napa Carneros. Under
the direction of veteran winemaker Thomas Peffer, Atalon produces deep,
plush, bold Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
Cardinale
- Cardinale is a wine inspired by the mountain terroir of its estate
and select vineyards along the Mayacamas Range. Cardinale's densely
planted, low yielding vines endure the challenging elements that produce
exceptional grapes. The steep slopes and rocky soils of our estate vineyards
- Keyes (Howell Mountain) and Veeder Peak (Mt. Veeder) - provide good
to excellent drainage, and trace elements which contribute to the wines'
complexities.
Freemark Abbey
-
The history of Freemark Abbey began in 1886, when Josephine
Marlin Tychson became the first woman to build and operate a winery
in California. The historic site where Josephine's winery once stood
is now known as Freemark Abbey. Today, Freemark Abbey is proud to continue
the legacy of winemaking that Josephine began so many years ago, as
the wine of Freemark Abbey stands as a testament to what the rich earth
of the Napa Valley is capable of creating when working in perfect harmony
with nature.
Hartford Court
- High Personality Wines - Making delicious wines of high personality
is directly related to the arduous locations of our single-vineyard
sources, the limited nature of our bottlings, and the grape varietals
we use.
- Single-Vineyard and Limited Bottlings - Small and low-yielding vineyards
deliver meager amounts of very expressive and personality-rich wine.
- Pinot Noir - We love Pinot Noir, and make seven of them. We feel that
Pinot Noir makes the most seductive red wine, notable for its supple,
silky texture.
- Sonoma Coast Chardonnays - Cool climate Sonoma Coast and Russian River
Valley Chardonnay vineyards are singularly expressive. Our Chardonnay
vineyards, which are planted with multiple clones, specially matched
to their sites, also strongly reflect the distinctive terroir in these
high-risk, high-reward locations.
- Old-Vine Zinfandel - Our 80 to 100 year old Zinfandel vineyards are
irreplaceable treasures. The complexity and depth of flavors from these
vineyards produce among the most consistently bold and unctuous Zinfandels
found anywhere.
Kendall-Jackson
- Outstanding wines can only be made from exceptional fruit. Kendall-Jackson Estate Vineyards are
found atop cool coastal mountains, rocky ridge tops and rolling hillsides - places where the climate,
soil and vine come together to create remarkable grapes. In each glass, you will taste our commitment
to crafting extraordinary wines from California's best vineyards.
Matanzas Creek
- Located in the heart of Sonoma County's Bennett Valley, Matanzas Creek
Winery was founded over two decades ago during a time when only a handful
of California wineries focused on crafting superior, premium wine. Guided
by a simple, but profound, commitment to quality above all else, the
Estate has, in the years since its establishment, emerged as one of
the most consistent and influential quality leaders in the global wine
industry. Our team at Matanzas Creek Winery builds on our quarter-century
heritage as we continue to develop the Bennett Valley as the preeminent
source of Merlot in North America.
Stonestreet
- The rocky soil and cool temperatures of the Alexander Mountain Estate
vineyards produce fruit with intense color and flavor. Our distinctive
wines are handcrafted to capture the essence of the mountain fruit.
Vérité
- French for 'truth', Vérité reflects our commitment to
crafting the most authentic expression of the vineyard. Simply put,
but profound in its intent, we are dedicated to producing red wines
of style and substance using traditional methods and the finest fruit
from mountain vineyards throughout Sonoma County. The Vérité
Estate is located in the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountain range at
the southern tip of Sonoma County's Alexander Valley. Our unique location
is known for superior soil, climate, and potential to express a strong
sense of terroir.
