This is the 4th vintage of Pinot Noir from Winners Circle Estate Vineyard. All eight clones are in full production, and we accomplished our objective of producing a Grand Cru quality Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley. The older vintages are also cellaring very well. The 2013 vintage of our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is still outstanding after 10 years in the bottle.
This is the 5th vintage of Chardonnay from the Winners Circle Estate Vineyard. The vineyard is now in full production and is yielding simply outstanding a fruit. This wine is has a bit more richness and structure than the previous vintages. The older vintages are cellaring beautifully even the 2017 Chardonnay after over seven years after the vintage.
Burgundian style Pinot Noir with fruits sourced from select vineyards of Dijon clones in the cool climate section of the Sonoma Coast appellation near Annapolis, CA.
This is the third vintage from Winner’s Circle Vineyards. The fruit comes from the entire vineyard, including all eight of the clones that were originally planted. As the vines have matured, the wine is gaining additional complexity and depth.
For the 2015 vintage, we have added Pommard clone from the Platt Vineyard to our Dijon clone blend. Because of the reduced yield in 2015 and the increased complexity of the blend, this wine has remarkable depth and structure.
For the first time we are offering a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Comprised of clones 777 from Gunsalus and clone 828 from Americus Vineyards in the Russian River Valley, this is a very high-quality Dijon clone blend. It’s worthy of the Bon Pari name!
This is the sixth vintage of our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. The blend remains a combination of Dijon clones and Pommard clone from the exclusive Platt Vineyard. This wine continues to show objective of great fruit, complexity and depth, but not over extracted or over oaked.

For the second year, we are offering a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Comprised of clones 777 from Gunsalus and clone 828 from Americus Vineyards in the Russian River Valley, this is a very high-quality Dijon clone blend. It’s worthy of the Bon Pari name!
Like the 2015 vintage, we have included a Pommard clone from the Platt Vineyard to our Dijon clone blend. Once again in 2016, we had to pay a premium for this fruit, but it adds so much to the aromatics and structure of the wine, it’s well worth it.
The second vintage of Pinot Noir from our Winner’s Circle Estate Vineyard has more depth and structure than the first vintage. Still Burgundian style, but with additional complexity and nuances from the blend of eight different Pinot Noir clones. The vineyard has reached full maturity and is really hitting its stride.
The third vintage of our Bon Pari Estate Chardonnay shows the development of the vineyard to full maturity. Both the Old Wente and Mt. Eden clones are producing the kind of “grand cru” fruit that we expected. The wine has great balance and depth without being heavy or over oaked.
The fruit source is identical to the previous two vintages - a combination of Dijon clones from two well established Sonoma Coast vineyards and a Pommard clone from the Platt Vineyard. This wine has more concentration than most of the 2017’s, because our fruit comes from vineyards typically yielding 2 tons per acre or less.
The 2018 Estate Chardonnay is a bit more “Californian“ then our initial 2017 release. The 2018 Estate Chardonnay is a bit more fruit forward, but retains the Burgundian style.
This is the fourth vintage from Winner's Circle Vineyards. The blocks of both Old Wente and Mount Eden clones are now in full production. With additional age, the vines are producing outstanding fruit, retaining the Burgundian style with balance between the fruit and the oak.
This blend is similar to the past two years, which includes the Pommard clone from the Platt Vineyard. The Platt Vineyard has now been sold, and the price of the fruit has been increased by 80%, so the fruit in this wine is really magic.
