Vermentino is a Mediterranean white varietal grown in Sardinia and Liguria (Pigato), Corsica and Languedoc (Rolle).  It favors granitic soils, like we find in the Sierra Foothills.  This is a dry, zesty, refreshing wine with grapefruit and other citrusy flavors accentuated by herbal tones and minerality. 

Our Fiddletown Viognier is made from our estate vines. We farm these rocky, granitic and volcanic soils in a holistic and sustainable manner using organic compost to amend the soil in-row cultivation, organic sulphur and lots of manual love. This wine is made in a traditional artisan manner, focusing on the specific resonances of place for this special limited bottling. 

Our delicious and aromatic Easton Sauvignon Blanc is grown on specially-selected, rocky sites in the rolling Sierra Foothills Appellation at high elevations.  We use two distinctive French clones of this grape to make a wine that is aromatic, dry, crisp, and minerally. Natoma means pure or crystalline. 

Our delicious and aromatic Easton Estate Sauvignon Blanc from Valley's Edge Vineyard (owned and farmed by Ridge and Amanda Easton) is grown on a granite slab at the northwest edge of the Shenandoah Valley. The fruit is from a recently introduced Grave del Friuli (It.) clone that makes a wine that is highly aromatic, dry, crisp, and mineral-laden. Serve it icy cold as an aperitif or with seafood or fowl. 

Grown at 3000" elevation on a cool site, this proprietary assemblage's flavors are rich and expansive.  Its elusive aromas suggest apricot, green almond, and acacia blossom.  By combining these varieties, we have created a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Monarch Mine Vineyard, at 2500' elevation gives this Roussanne balance and freshness, even in a wine with age. Roussanne's elusive aromas are resiny and honeyed with overtones of alpine wildflowers. The color is golden. Its flavors are dry, rich, expansive, and magnificent. Part of our elevage program, the 2015 was released in Spring of 2023.

 A Sherry-like Aperitif

ROX is made from the Roussanne grape in the style of the oxidized wines of the Southwest of France and parts of Spain.  It has a very complex nose that exhibits a nutty quality that hints at almonds and the flavors suggest seckel pear and quince.
