New Releases & Member Shipments

We are thrilled to release two new single vineyard wines from Napa Valley -- our 2020 Satyrs Ridge Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon and our 2019 Harmony School Cabernet Sauvignon -- plus a new Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Members will also receive a library selection of our 2010 Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon from magnum.

Satyrs Ridge is a 4-acre block of Cabernet Sauvignon in Saint Helena, planted in 1970. Extremely low-yielding, we receive 1.25 tons per acre on average. We harvested the fruit at the cusp of ripeness, to preserve the integrity of the acidity and sumptuousness of the fruit. Fermented in open top stainless steel for seventeen days, then aged in one-quarter new French oak barrels for twenty-two months. Tasting notes: Dusky raspberry and briar, saddle leather, blood orange, with a touch of French oak evident but very subdued.

Harmony School is a one-acre block in Coombsville of Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon -- "the winemaker's clone" -- fermented on native yeasts in stainless steel for eighteen days. After a natural malolactic fermentation in barrel, we aged the wine in one-third new French oak barrels for 22 months, and bottled the wine by hand at the winery, unfined and unfiltered. On the palate: aromas of sweet raspberry and cassis emerge, with integrated vanilla and spice, cocoa and coffee on the palate.

Maeve Vineyard Chardonnay is from a very small vineyard just outside the town of Los Gatos in the Santa Cruz Mountains, on a steep bowl-shaped hillside facing southeast. Maeve is an Irish girl’s name meaning “the intoxicating one" -- but don't be fooled -- This very lightly-oaked Chardonnay is more Chablis-style than Napa, with semi-tart notes of fig, licorice, and lemon zest, and it pairs delightfully with pastas, salads, and seafood.

Member Shipments will begin to ship Fedex the last two weeks of September and will continue into October, weather depending. One Magnum from our library of 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder AVA is included in the membership.



We are incredibly grateful and humbled to report a flurry of news and reviews over the past summer months! First, a review from Alder Yarrow's Vinography. Later, notes and reviews from Brian Freedman at Food & Wine Magazine, Joe Czerwinski - managing editor at The Wine Advocate, Karen MacNeil at WineSpeed, Mike Desimone and Jeff Jensen at Robb Report, and Tom Hyland at Forbes Magazine. You can find the full list at our new page dedicated to supporting Trade & Press here.



It's the perfect time of year for fresh pasta recipes with ingredients straight from the garden, and this only-very-lightly-creamy Farfalle pairs deliciously with our Maeve Vineyard Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Find our "Cooking with Crosby Roamann" blog online here for new recipes from our kitchen.

Maeve Vineyard is planted on a steep bowl-shaped hillside outside Los Gatos facing south and east. We whole-cluster press the juice to stainless steel for primary fermentation, and age the wine in all neutral oak and some stainless steel. A light pad filtration and cold stabilization is performed prior to bottling, by hand, at the winery. Tasting notes: Maeve Vineyard displays zesty notes of fig, licorice, and lemon zest, with apple cider and a touch of pineapple on the finish. Delightful now, the wine will gain complexity over the next year and reach its apogee from 2024 - 2027.
