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. 

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.

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 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!

The first wine released from Winner’s Circle Vineyards.  A blend of Mt. Eden and Old Wente clones.  Exceptional concentration and structure with great length on the finish.  The result of low yields from the vineyard and the use of Burgundian French oak barrels.

The Estate Vineyard is planted with 8 different clones, designed to produce a classic French style wine.  Yields were very low... about 1 ton per acre. The wine has amazing elegance and perfume on the bouquet.  While the wine has good concentration, it is more approachable on release than any wine we’ve made in the past. This is probably the most French style wine we’ve ever made.

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.
