Winery Exclusives

Nestled in the cool, fog-kissed Carneros region, our Cuttings Wharf vineyard produces Chardonnay grapes with exceptional concentration and flavor. The 2020 Cuttings Wharf Chardonnay is a beautifully structured wine offering a bouquet of golden apple, peach, and floral aromas. It unfolds layers of Bosc pear, white peach, and spiced apple tart on the palate, underscored by subtle hints of vanilla and baking spices. The wine’s creamy mouthfeel is achieved through barrel fermentation and aging in concrete eggs and French oak barrels, striking a perfect balance between richness and vibrancy. A bright citrus minerality guides the wine to a clean, enduring finish, making this Chardonnay a true expression of Carneros terroir.

The 2023 vintage was an extremely high-quality season, with grapes that ripened under ideal conditions. A cool and mild spring followed by a warm summer led to an early harvest. Though yields were slightly lower than average, the grape quality was exceptional leading to excellent finished wines.

Vin de Porche-no accent required-is a traditional dry rosé, and true to its name, it's meant to be enjoyed on the porch or patio. Pinot noir grapes from our companion vineyards in Anderson Valley give this wine delicate aromas of strawberry and bright, refreshing acidity.

Our Annahala Ranch sits on 60 acres in the southern end of Mendocino County’s Anderson Valley. This former apple orchard, with its closer proximity to the Pacific Ocean compared to its sister vineyard, Apple Barn, spends more time in fog. Vines at our Annahala Ranch are planted in loamy soils and represent a selection of high-quality pinot noir clones, including Dijon 114, 667 and 777, and clone 828. This diversity of clones enhances the wine’s complexity: Dijon clones tend to impart perfume and intense black cherry characters, while clone 828 contributes elegant texture and a hint of dried rose petals.
