One of the advantages to making wine in the Edna Valley is that we benefit from its cool climate and coastal influence. This means we have access to some of the best Riesling grapes in the area. In the case of our Edna Valley Dry Riesling, we’ve sourced the fruit from Talley Vineyards’ highly regarded Oliver’s Vineyard. Following a challenging 2017 harvest (no rain, high humidity, and heat waves ring a bell?), our winemaking team worked hard to bring you a Riesling we can be proud of. Aromatically speaking, this wine offers fresh floral notes, a pinch of baking spice and Riesling’s typical minerality. On the palate we find ripe citrus fruit, lemon peel and crisp apricots, balancing the wine’s bright acidity. We highly recommend that you show off this food-friendly Riesling at the dinner table, pairing it chicken or seafood (especially shellfish). And remember: Dry Riesling also pairs beautifully with vegetarian entrees.

This incredible new vintage is an ode to our founding and reminds us of how we got our start – a wine that is classically styled and immediately food friendly at an unbelievably fair price.

Our Single Vineyard collection is inspired by the Herzog family’s ongoing commitment to sourcing and prospecting new vineyards. With innovation and creativity, we are able to explore the intricacies of terroir and the uniqueness of time and place in the vineyard. For us, this is hands-on, artisan winemaking at its best. The Dry Creek Valley appellation lies north of the San Francisco Bay and 20 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. The rocky soil of its ancient hills drain exceptionally well – helping to stress the vines late in the growing season, and concentrate the flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon. This single vineyard displays a rich velvet ruby color with aromas of blackberry, cinnamon and spice. Bold flavors of black raspberry in the finish with silky notes of vanilla.
