Lake County Wines

Our Chardonnay is a great balance of bright citrus and honey with a touch of oak character and hints of juicy peach. Crafted with care so that no single flavor overpowers another, this wine is simply delicious.

Our elegantly balanced Pinot Noir has lush cherry and strawberry flavors with a hint of lightly toasted oak.

Our Sauvignon Blanc is sunshine in a glass. Aromatic and bright with flavors of lemon and kiwi, this wine is refreshing with a crisp, clean finish.

Featured in the Year's Best U.S Cabernet and Blends 2014 Issue** From a vineyard planted at 2,600 feet on the volcanic slopes above Clear Lake, this is a sophisticated cabernet, the fruit as deep and dark as blackberry juice, rich yet clean and spicy, laced with mountain aromas of pine straw and dry brush. Firm and almost formidable in structure, it opens into savory layers, lengthened by refreshing acidity

2013 was a beautiful growing season in Lake County. Mild summer temperatures kept the acids high while still bringing the fruit to optimal maturity. The 2013 Guenoc Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon hails from the Tephra Ridge Vineyard and has fruit-forward aromas of red cherry and currant. This wine is full-bodied with complex flavors of toasted oak, and cigar box that complement the fruit-forward flavors for an exceptionally long finish.

Our High Valley Zinfandel has a nose of strawberries, spice and soft vanilla. Its flavors are of ripe raspberry jam, exotic spices and cassis with a finish that lingers of silky tannins and vanilla.

Aromas of yuzu blossom, lemon zest and thyme fill the glass. Flavors of Asian pear, lemon, apples and honey coat the mouth and recede into a long and lively finish. Best with shellfish, wild grain & protein salads, roasted root vegetables, mild ocean fish, and small grilled or roasted gamebirds.

Our Lake & Vine 2015 Red Blend is comprised of Syrah (30%), Zinfandel (25%), Barbera (15%), Merlot (14%), Petite Sirah (13%) and Riesling (3%). Blueberry, raspberry jam, sandalwood, cinnamon and eucalyptus aromas entice the nose. Flavors of anise, dark cherry and a silky mid-palate core of raspberry and cherry are followed by hints of black pepper, milk chocolate and well-integrated tannins on the finish. The majority of the fruit for this wine comes from the Kelsey Bench appellation, northwest of the Red Hills appellation in Lake County. The vineyards are planted up to 1,600 feet, the UV intensity creates greater tannins and intense wines. The 2015 harvest was deemed one of the earliest and most challenging in Lake County, but yielded excellent quality.

This mountain top Cabernet boasts deep dark fruits with a complex and structured finish. Soft notes of chocolate and oak abound, balancing the dense cassis and blackberry in perfect harmony

Another full, rich, smooth Zin from Nova Vineyard. Good body and lingering finish.
