Winners Circle Winery

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.

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.

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.

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.
