After making wine for 30 years, we decided it was finally time to try our hand at producing a rosé and we're pretty pleased with the results. More…

The latest release of CYRUS is a worthy successor to the 2003, which was touted by Gourmet magazine as an "impeccably harmonious" wine. More…

This is a wine destined for greatness. The 2005 is a rich, juicy Cab with an expressive nose of cassis and spice and flavors of black cherry and cocoa along with an undercurrent of eucalyptus and mint. More…

In some quarters and in some vintages, Merlot may be considered the less able rival of Cabernet Sauvignon. More…

In the vineyard, Pinot Noir can be belligerant and in the winery, it is hardly forgiving. Yet it remains a favorite, both for winemakers and wine drinkers. More…

The most widely planted grape in Italy's Tuscany region has had a pretty good run here on our estate in the Alexander Valley. More…

The Alexander Valley is a phenomenal place to grow Bordeaux varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, but what we've discovered over our years of grape-growing is that Rhone grapes like Syrah do pretty well here too. More…

Sin Zin is arguably our best known wine. Most folks are initially drawn in by the label, but once they taste what's inside the bottle, they quickly realize that this is no novelty wine. More…

Anyone in search of a big, jammy Zinfandel needs to seek out a little Redemption. A perfect counterpoint to our famous Sin Zin, the 2005 Redemption Zin is all Zinfandel and all Dry Creek Valley. More…

Varietally distinct, this Zinfandel captures the true essence of Alexander Valley. The fruit is sourced from a variety of vineyards with differing microclimates. More…

Temptation Zinfandel was born out of our twenty-five plus years making Sin Zin Zinfandel. First produced in 1978, with 100% Alexander Valley grapes, Sin Zin has developed a cult like following for its abundant raspberry fruit and freshly crushed black pepper character. More…

Temptation. Sin. Redemption. They have weighed on souls for eons, caused so much consternation. But bring them together in a convenient package, and they bring but one response--joy. More…

This release of Two Barrel is 50% Syrah and 50% Merlot. The Syrah lends aromas of blueberry, violets and earth to this well-structured blend, while Merlot contributes black cherry and cassis to the mid-palate; soft tannins and flavors of plum, oak and chocolate round out the finish. More…

Primitivo may have more fame for what it isn't than what it is. Primitivo is not Zinfandel, though the two grapes share some family ties and a handful of California vintners have even taken to labeling their Zins as Primitivo. More…

Single vineyard wines are all the rage these days. So too are Cabs from hillside vineyards. Well here's a wine that carries both distinctions. More…

The Malbec that we grow on our estate customarily is used to add some depth to our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and to the CYRUS. More…

Words like “hand-crafted” and “labor intensive” are thrown around a lot, but they truly apply to the 2006 Estate Chardonnay. More…

Our 2007 New Gewurz surprises just about anyone who tastes it. One sip and they become instant fans. They may be the unitiated who have never heard of the varietal or the skeptic who think every Gewürztraminer is sweet. More…
