There's a strong mineral streak of slate and stone on the nose of this bottling, as dark cherry and sandalwood aromas complete the picture. The palate is tense and complex, pairing strawberry, wild thyme and white pepper flavors. Drink now-2040. — Matt Kettmann

The 2023 Pinot Noir Tondre Grapefield is particularly expressive on the nose. Sweet berry fruit and spice tones meet a core of enlivening acids and ripe, pliant tannins...the 2023 is an easygoing, enjoyable quaff. - Billy Norris, July 2025

Tondré Alarid established a vineyard on his family’s historic ranch in Monterey’s Santa Lucia Highlands. In the hands of his son Joe Alarid, the estate has become one of the S.L.H.’s best known properties. Literally next door to famed Garys’ Vineyard, Tondre shares the same well-drained hillside soils and crop-limiting afternoon fog and cool winds from nearby Monterey Bay. The combination of a perfect site and meticulous farming makes for truly great Pinot Noir.

Tart cherry and herby bay leaf aromas show on the nose of this bottling from a vineyard 2,600 feet high in the mountains. The palate starts with dank herb and cranberry flavors the pick up a peppery spice and ride tightly grained mountain tannins into the finish. Drink now-2040. — Matt Kettmann
 

Our yearly Santa Cruz Mountains release of Pinot Noir under our “Appellation Series” has been one of our superstars since its inception. We sourced the fruit in 2023 from the Muns family’s highly-regarded vineyard in the Loma Prieta district of the SCM. Located literally on the San Andreas Fault on a ridge at 2,600 feet of elevation, the property is planted to the three main “Dijon” Pinot Noir clones on primarily clay loam and sandstone soils. It is a unique site that supplies exceptional Pinot Noir fruit.

Ripe yet tart aromas of blackberry, cherry and cranberry are intense while fresh on the nose of this bottling. The tense palate balances rounded cherry flavors with accents of cardamom and mace. — Matt Kettmann

The 2023 Pinot Noir Rancho La Vina has some savory nuance, thanks to the signatures of the state and the inclusion of 5% stems. Cracked black pepper, sage and leather build layers beneath the tart, crunchy pomegranate fruit. Well-balanced and interesting. - Billy Norris, July 2025
 

Our sixth vintage from the Santa Rita Hills AVA spotlights a new Pinot Noir vineyard source for us: Rancho La Viña. Over the last two decades, the region has become one of California’s most influential Pinot Noir growing districts. Located in Santa Barbara County, the Sta. Rita Hills is part of the larger Santa Ynez Valley AVA. The hills of the district run east to west, which allows cool ocean breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean to enter the valley, providing fairly cool microclimates – perfect for growing top-flight Pinot. Dense morning fog gives way to sunny afternoons, and loamy soils make Rancho La Viña and incredible cool climate growing site. In addition to 34.5 acres of top-quality Pinot Noir wine grapes, a variety of other crops are also grown on the ranch, which includes 126 acres of the best walnuts in California. We are excited to have been invited to work with this small, quality grower that really takes pride in their work – and feel that this vintage is a truly excellent wine.

Available Exclusively to Reserve Circle Members until July.

Our flagship Reserve from the 2022 vintage continues the string of successes from our Sarah’s Vineyard Pinot Noir blocks in the historic Santa Clara Valley appellation.

Baked plum, cherry pie filling, clove and cardamom aromas make for a jubilant, slightly stewed fruit nose on this estate bottling. The palate is hearty and fresh, pairing boysenberry and black plum with chai and licorice flavors, all very well integrated. — Matt Kettmann

Our S.V. Estate Pinot Noir adds new meaning to the term "homegrown," as some of the vines from which it is drawn are mere steps from the tasting room. Having complete "dirt to bottle" quality control ensures this limited release is a special one.

The 2023 Chardonnay Tondré Grapefield is meaningfully better than the 2022 tasted last year, a testament to both a more favorable growing season and improvements that Jonathan Houston is making in the winery. Sweet orchard fruit, toasted hazelnut and mint expand as the 2023 sweeps across the palate. The nicely detailed finish is a bonus. Well done. - Billy Norris, July 2025

Tondré Alarid established a vineyard on his family’s historic ranch in Monterey’s Santa Lucia Highlands. In the hands of his son Joe Alarid, the estate has become one of the S.L.H.’s best known properties. The Highlands’ sparse mountainside soils and windy Monterey Bay-influenced climate produce some of the country’s best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The combination of a perfect site and meticulous farming makes for truly great wines.

The Sarah's Estate Chardonnay is our most historic wine. From our very first vintages in the late 1970's, this label has been responsible for our world-class reputation growing this noble grape.

The 2022 Sarah’s Vineyard Grenache comes from Sarah’s estate and is generally used exclusively in our Madonne Rhone blend. This is the first time since 2016 that we have released a Grenache, and we are really excited about it. We hand-harvested and destemmed the whole Grenache berries directly into the fermenter. We “cold soaked” until the onset of a robust, native fermentation before inoculating with commercial yeast. Punch downs of the cap were done by hand, three times a day. One hundred percent secondary malolactic fermentation was induced. Aged 18 months in neutral French oak barrels. All these careful techniques have the aim of maintaining the superb fruit and spice aromas and flavors.

The 2024 Sarah’s Vineyard Viognier is based on this noble varietal from France’s Northern Rhone. Despite a surge in its popularity in California in the 1990’s, there is still relatively little Viognier planted in the state. We currently have about an acre of Viognier planted in Block B2 of our Dwarf Oak home vineyard at Sarah’s. For the ’24 release, hand-harvested and whole cluster pressed the Viognier fruit. Fermentation began in neutral French oak barrels. After the barrel fermentation, the wine was matured sur lie in neutral barrels for six months. 

2021 Besson Vineyard Syrah - 95 Points, Wine Enthusiast
From one of the more historic vineyards in California, this bottling offers dark but fresh aromas of açaí, blueberry, lilac and peppercorn on the nose. The palate is full and layered in grippy tannins, showing elderberry jam, black pepper and rosemary flavors atop an acidity that flickers into the finish. - Matt Kettman

The 2021 Sarah’s Vineyard Syrah is based on this noble variety of France’s Northern Rhone, responsible worldwide for classic reds. From French Hermitage to Australian Shiraz, Syrah is one of the most popular and widely-planted red wine grapes.

The Syrah for our 2021 release came from our good friend George Besson, Jr.’s old vineyard, just 300 yards to the east of Sarah’s. This historic property was originally planted in 1922. George’s and our estates bridge the historic Santa Clara Valley and the cooler climate “Mt. Madonna” district of the southern Santa Cruz Mountains. Here fog and winds from nearby Monterey Bay dramatically cool down the vineyards, extending the growing season and providing unique conditions for complex Rhone cultivars.

The 2023 Sarah’s Vineyard Madonne Blanc is our effort to emulate the traditional white wines of the southern Rhône Valley. It is a marriage of California soils and climate to a classically styled blend of estate grown Rhone white varieties.Our estate vineyards bridge the historic Santa Clara Valley and the cooler climate “Mt. Madonna” district of the southern Santa Cruz Mountains. Here
fog and winds from nearby Monterey Bay dramatically cool down the estate, extending the season and providing unique conditions for growing complex Rhône cultivars.

To create our estate Madonne Blanc, we actually make 4 individual wines, then blend them carefully to make the best wine we can.

Dark intense fruit aromas are bold but not overdone on the nose of this blend of 76% Grenache, 16% Syrah and 8% Mourvèdre, which also shows earth and fennel elements. The palate is layered in fig, date, clove and star anise flavors, proving quite complex. — Matt Kettmann

The Sarah’s Vineyard Madonne is our local effort to emulate the traditional red wines of the southern Rhône Valley. It is a blend of estate grown, Rhône red varieties – in this case, primarily Grenache. Our estate vineyards bridge the historic Santa Clara Valley and the cooler climate “Mt. Madonna” district of the southern Santa Cruz Mountains. Here fog and winds from nearby Monterey Bay dramatically cool down the estate, extending the growing season and providing unique conditions for complex Rhône cultivars. 

The 2023 Sarah’s Vineyard Viognier is based on this noble variety of France’s Northern Rhone - responsible for the famed, rare whites of Condrieu and Château Grillet. Despite a surge in its popularity in California in the 1990s, there is still relatively little Viognier planted in the state.

An exciting take on a noble Italian variety, this bottling begins by pairing freshly smashed raspberry and pomegranate aromas with lightly earthy tones of wet concrete on the nose. The palate is firm and leathery in texture, giving an edge to the rose, strawberry and pepper flavors that are buoyed by persistent acidity. Drink now-2042. — Matt Kettmann

Available Exclusively to Reserve Circle Members Through September 30th.

Nebbiolo is prized for its elegance and ageability in the Piedmont region of Italy. However, in America, it has been difficult to find a place for it to grow well. Presented to you is our first vintage with our young vines.Traditionally, young vines are fresh, fruity, and light, but lack the grace, pronounced flavors, and structure of old vines. That is what you see here, a fresh, fruity, moderately structured, and fun to drink wine. As our vines mature and our knowledge of this grape grows, the wines will continue to gain complexity and power.

Popular in southern France, Picpoul Blanc (peek-pool blahn) is a wonderful grape with the lemony flavor of sunshine. A great summer sipping wine.

Charbono was originally introduced to California in the Napa Valley by early Italian immigrants; the grape itself hails from France’s Savoie region. There is now very little acreage left in the state of this once widely planted variety, which accounts for its almost legendary cult status. We started making Charbono in 2007, buying from our friends who had an acre of it planted just down the road near Santa Teresa and Hecker Pass. That land was sold to build houses on, and we planted an acre of it on our estate. While our little estate Charbono was developing, we bought some from Pear Valley Vineyard in the Paso Robles area, where the bold heat gets Charbono very ripe and lighter in color. Beginning with the 2018 vintage, our Charbono is entirely estate grown and sees 18 months in 10% new French oak barrels.

This estate grown and bottled Rosé of Pinot Noir is bone dry with crisp acidity for hot summer sipping.

Roussanne is a relatively rare grape we've been making since 2003. This wine is estate grown and matured on the lees for 5 months in neutral French oak.

Dark red fruit, toasted bread and subtle maple aromas show on the nose of this bottling. There's a caramel core to the palate, where oaky elements add spice to the reddish fruits. The tannins are still quite stiff. — Matt Kettmann, 

Our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2021 vintage is a special wine for us. Designated for our Reserve Circle members, it is a tribute to the early winegrowing days of our region. Cabernet was one of the first varieties planted in the Santa Clara Valley well before the Civil War. At Sarah's, we take pride in helping to recall and reestablish the Valley's reputation for growing great Cabernet Sauvignon. 

We are so excited to announce our very first Estate Pinot Noir Nouveau bottling! This is a special, very limited release (only 63 cases produced) of our 2024 Pinot Noir Nouveau. We are so excited to share this with you - just in time for your holiday table!

This is our play on the traditional Beaujolais Nouveau, released the third Thursday in November in France as a celebration of the year's harvest. Presented to you is our first vintage with our estate Pinot Noir. Traditionally, this winemaking style produces fresh, fruity, ready to drink wines; this is a vibrant, fruity, moderately structured, and fun to drink wine bursting with notes of orange zest, grapefruit, pomegranate, cherry, cranberry, strawberry, and spice; the perfect addition to your holiday table or a gathering of friends.

"When I was young, the holidays were a time of gathering for my family. A time when we silently agreed that togetherness was a priority. As I’ve gotten older and my family has spread across the US and beyond, we have still carried that feeling of togetherness into the holidays. Nouveau wine is made for these occasions. It is fun, attractive, bright, and versatile. It was made to bring people together."

Respectfully,
Jonathan Houston, Winemaker

A lighter hue in the glass, this is a fresh and fun style of Cab, starting with aromas of snappy boysenberry and freshly plucked rose petals. It's lightly bodied on the palate, where zesty berry and violet flavors align. — Matt Kettmann

Our fifth Estate Cabernet Sauvignon release to our S.V. members is a tribute to the early winegrowing days of our region. This grape was one of the first varieties planted in the Santa Clara Valley well before the Civil War. We grow these grapes with great care and attention, with a highly restricted yield, to develop the excellent concentration we find in the wine. 

*Available Exclusively to Reserve Circle Members through January

Pronounced “new-ee dawn-fair,” the name Nuits d'Enfer suggests a night of passion and no-rules possibilities. The 2021 NdE earns its reputation and black-label Reserve status as an untamed Bordeaux-style blend that pairs brooding Cabernet Sauvignon to pedigreed Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

Cepage: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc

We are excited to release our very first vintage of Estate Sparkling Rosé. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes for this wine were all estate grown and hand-harvested. The wine spent 14 months en tirage (resting in contact with the lees) before being riddled by hand and then disgorged. This wine is dedicated with love to our daughter Ella Rae.
