The following year, they were \"rocking and rolling\" in their new vineyard, but by the beginning of 2017, record-breaking rains had hit the Bay Area and caused destructive flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thankfully, the winery was elevated enough to not be affected.

That makes choosing the finest wines of the year from thousands of candidates an excruciatingly difficult — and delicious — task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our list of the Top 100 wines of 2019 includes expensive bottles as well as many great deals. But value is relative. Like art, antiques, 11-course dinners, and Warriors playoff tickets, wines are worth what the market is willing to pay. It’s hard to feel sticker shock about a $70 Sonoma Pinot Noir when a Burgundy of equal quality costs three times that much. And top-tier Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons sell for $250 or more, so by comparison, Sonoma’s finest are true bargains. That calls for an end-of-year toast to a fabulously diverse wine region that produces something for everyone, across all price levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>METHODOLOGY\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Healdsburg-based wine critic Linda Murphy selected the Top 100 Wines of 2019 based on her yearlong tastings at wineries and of samples sent to her, as well as her blind tastings at wine competitions including \u003cem>The Press Democrat 2019 North Coast Wine Challenge\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former managing editor of \u003cem>Sonoma Magazine\u003c/em>, Murphy writes the LikeWine feature in each issue, was the founding editor of the San Francisco Chronicle wine section (earning two James Beard Awards), and contributes to \u003cem>The Press Democrat\u003c/em>, \u003ca>jancisrobinson.com\u003c/a>, and \u003cem>Decanter\u003c/em> magazine, among other publications. She’s evaluated Sonoma wines for 30 years in a professional capacity but always has the consumer in mind with her recommendations. Not all expensive wines are worth their price, and many value-priced wines deliver far more interest than their price would suggest. This philosophy is reflected in our Top 100 Wines choices. Something for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only wines produced from Sonoma County-grown grapes, by wineries located in the county, are eligible for the Top 100. All wines were tasted in 2019, and some may no longer be available at time of publication. Fine wines sell fast, so if you can’t find a particular Top 100 wine, contact the producers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They just might have a few extra bottles on hand or can direct you to retailers and restaurants that have the wine in stock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while this option isn’t for everyone, consider joining the wine clubs of wineries that appear on our Top 100 list every year. Their wines are consistently good, and in most cases great — and club members get first crack at purchasing them, often at discounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2019/12/11/top-100-sonoma-wines-2019/wine/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-135866\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-135866\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine.jpg 1080w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>SPARKLING\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Flaunt Wine Co.\u003c/strong> \u003cem>\u003cstrong>NV Brut Sonoma County Sparkling Wine $48\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> This is Dianna Novy Lee’s personal project, following the sale of the Siduri Wines brand she founded with her husband, Adam Lee (now owned by Jackson Family Wines).

It’s predominantly Pinot Noir with a splash of Chardonnay, and while its delicate pink color suggests a delicate wine, under that lacy veil lurks vibrant red berry, cherry, and strawberry aromas and flavors, and a gentle creaminess in the mid-palate.

The aroma is of fresh-baked bread, green apple, and citrus. The palate is compact and dry, with firm structure, tiny bubbles, and hints of Meyer lemon and Asian pear. It’s elegance in a glass, as Champagne-like as California sparkling wine can be, yet with sunny Sonoma fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kokomo Winery \u003cem>2014 Peters Vineyard Sonoma Coast Blanc de Blancs $58\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Grower and winery partner Randy Peters’ Chardonnay grapes from the cool Sonoma coast are the foundation of this wine. It spent some time in neutral oak barrels as a still wine and was fermented and aged on the spent yeast cells for two years. As a result, notes of brioche and hazelnut complement the Meyer lemon and white peach fruit, embraced by nervy acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Longboard Vineyards \u003cem>NV Russian River Valley Brut Rosé $50 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Fizz runs through the veins of Longboard owner and winemaker Oded Shakked. A former sparkling winemaker for J. Vineyards & Winery, he sells three bubblies at his Healdsburg cellar. This one is gorgeous in its strawberry color and fresh-fruit flavors. Fermentation of the grapes in neutral oak barrels help soften the crunchy natural acidity, and aging on the yeast cells add complexity and toasty mouthfeel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards \u003cem>2014 Russian River Valley Winemaker’s Release Grand Cuvée $43 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Vine Hill Ranch Chardonnay (60%) and Owsley Vineyard Pinot Noir meld beautifully in this dry, four-year-aged sparkler with Champagne structure and sunny green apple and citrus flavor.

Zinfandel was planted there in 1912, and it remains today alongside new plantings of Bordeaux red grapes. Yet when it comes to white Bordeaux — Sauvignon Blanc blended with Semillon — Katz looks to the cooler Bennett Valley east of Santa Rosa. This full-flavored, barrel-fermented wine delivers waves of green-flesh melon, white peach, and citrus, finishing with spice and tension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belden Barns \u003cem>2018 Sonoma Mountain Estate Sauvignon Blanc $28\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> At once bold and crisp, this unfiltered wine from Nate and Lauren Belden is luscious and exotic, with white peach, ruby grapefruit, pineapple, and lemon-zest character.

Winemaker Greg Morthole aged approximately 60% of the wine in neutral oak and acacia barrels, which enhanced the mouthfeel without interfering with the wine’s vibrancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dry Creek Vineyard \u003cem>2018 Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc $20 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Sauvignon Musque and Sauvignon Gris join traditional Sauvignon Blanc grapes in this full-flavored wine with lemon- lime, tropical fruit, nectarine, and honeydew-melon aromas and flavors. A small portion of the wine was aged in chestnut, acacia, and French oak barrels, slightly softening the natural acidity of the grapes while adding a layer of complexity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Geyser Peak Winery \u003cem>2018 Winemaker Selection Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc $24 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Styled very much like a Marlborough, New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc, this wine has energetic acidity and vibrant grapefruit, passion fruit, fresh-cut grass, and lime aromas and flavors.

This Dry Creek Valley winery does great things with its reserve, site-specific, and mountain-grown wines, yet this county-appellation Chardonnay stands out as a wonder for its price (typically discounted at chain stores). A full-bodied yet elegant wine, it charms with aromas and flavors of citrus, pear, white peach, apple, graham cracker, and vanilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Flanagan Wines \u003cem>2016 Ritchie Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay $68\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This is a textural wonder, made from grapes grown in Kent Ritchie’s vineyard, where plantings date to the early 1970s. The wine is elegant, multilayered, and mouth-filling in a beautifully subtle way, with green apple and Asian pear aromas and flavors enhanced by subtle oak spice. The crisp finish goes on and on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery \u003cem>2016 Russian River Valley Olivet Lane Vineyard Chardonnay $45\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> The Pellegrini family planted this vineyard in 1976 on a benchland in the Santa Rosa Plain, and the grapes have been highly prized ever since. Gary Farrell winemaker Theresa Heredia’s version of Olivet Lane Chardonnay is crisp and complex, with nuances of apple, tangerine, curd, and brioche. It’s medium- full-bodied and gently oaked, and has a long, satisfying finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hartford Family Wines \u003cem>2016 Three Jacks Vineyard Green Valley of Russian River Valley Chardonnay $65\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Here is a Chardonnay that has both power and purity.

From the Heintz Vineyard, located east of Occidental, Wilson achieved a fruit-filled, flavorful wine at just 12.5% alcohol. Striking minerality and acidity plump the Meyer lemon and green apple flavors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MacRostie \u003cem>2017 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay $25\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Multiple vineyards, including Sangiacomo, Dutton Ranch, and Steve MacRostie’s own Wildcat Mountain Vineyard, combine in an exceptional wine for the price and vineyard pedigree. A mélange of lemon meringue pie, pineapple, blood orange, and baked apple is supported by caramel and spice notes from oak aging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ramey Wine Cellars \u003cem>2016 Westside Farms Estate Russian River Valley Chardonnay $65\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Chardonnay master David Ramey and his wife, Carla, own just one vineyard and this is it: Westside Farms on Healdsburg’s Westside Road. This wine offers generous aromas and flavors of pear, Fuji apple, and citrus, plus a touch of flint.

Beginning in 2016, the Sangiacomos began producing their own wines — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon — with James MacPhail as their winemaker. This wine is representative of their style: vibrant citrus and green apple character, judicious use of oak as a seasoning to build texture, and palate-cleansing acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sojourn \u003cem>2017 Durell Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay $48\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This is a rich, juicy wine, powerful yet pure, with poached pear, pineapple, white peach, and citrus aromas and flavors. Fruit from Durell, an iconic Sonoma vineyard, is sold to several producers. At Sojourn, those grapes become a crowd-pleasing wine with toasty oak on the lingering finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thirty-Seven Wines \u003cem>2016 Sonoma Coast Reserve Chardonnay $36\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This wine scored a whopping 98 points and was voted best of class at NCWC. There is some toasty oak on the aroma and finish, which brackets the scintillating lemon curd, green melon, and Granny Smith fruit. Brisk more than luscious, it’s a mouthwatering rendition of coastal Chardonnay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Three Sticks \u003cem>2017 Durell Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay $55\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Three Sticks proprietor Bill Price purchased Durell Vineyard 20 years ago and takes grapes from the oldest blocks in the site, in the hills above Sonoma Valley, for his Chardonnay. Full-bodied and remarkably complex, it delivers a mouthful of green apple, Asian pear, white peach, and citrus flavors, finishing with a hint of oak and juicy acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trombetta Family Wines \u003cem>2017 Gap’s Crown Petaluma Gap Chardonnay $60\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Winemaker Erica Stancliff and her parents, Rickey and Roger Stancliff, are among the new rock stars in Sonoma winemaking — as evidenced by this exceptional Chardonnay, which combines vibrant lemon curd and tropical fruit with light-handed oak influence and sturdy structure.

The white flower and white pepper aromas and sunny peach, pear, and citrus flavors come from vines planted 40 years ago.

Some rosés try too hard to be fruity and rich, but this one more closely resembles the wines of Provence: dry and crisp.

Pinot Noir was their major attraction to Sonoma; without vineyards of their own, they purchased grapes and hit the jackpot with Pinot from Keller Estate.

His devotion to the Rhône Valley red shows in this medium-fullbodied wine with juicy cherry and strawberry flavors and a vibrancy that can get lost in Grenache’s tendency to get overripe in the vineyard. It’s a crisp, juicy wine seasoned with white pepper and dried flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ridge Vineyards \u003cem>2016 Lytton Estate Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah $40\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Ridge’s Geyserville winery outpost is best known for Zinfandels, many of which have a splash of Petite Sirah in them. This 100 percent varietal wine deserves stand-alone status, for its savory character, well-mannered plum, blackberry, and blueberry fruit, and supple texture not often found in wines made from the notso- petite grape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rockpile Vineyards \u003cem>2016 Buffalo Hollow Rockpile Petite Sirah $60\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Named for a wood-carved buffalo that overlooks the vineyard, this best of class winner at NCWC is a big, brawny wine with voluptuously ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit and sturdy, earthy tannins.

Winemaker Ondine Chattan blended wine lots from the best barrels for this ultra-premium Cab, which offers rich dark cherry fruit and hints of chocolate, forest floor, and cedar. It’s a big-league effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Flambeaux Wine \u003cem>2015 Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon $60\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> The Murray family, New Orleans natives, found a new home in Dry Creek Valley and named their wine brand after the Flambeaux torch bearers of Mardi Gras. Their Cabernet is firmly structured yet fleshy, with vibrant red cherry and boysenberry fruit inflected with dried herbs and cedar. Classic and classy, and with ideal ripeness and balance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Garden Creek Vineyards \u003cem>2012 Alexander Valley Tesserae $100\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Owner/winemakers Karin and Justin Warnelius-Miller give their Cabernets three to four years more barrel and bottle aging than most California producers, believing the wines need time to settle and show their best stuff. This current-vintage 2012 is elegant and refined, Cabernet Sauvignondominant and blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Ready to drink now, it should remain fresh-tasting for another decade or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Legacy \u003cem>2013 Alexander Valley Red Wine $100\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> From Jackson Family Wines, this Jess Jackson-inspired blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot was grown on the company’s Jimtown and Alexander Mountain vineyards, at elevations of up to 2,400 feet. Although it’s not labeled as Cabernet Sauvignon, it could be, with that variety comprising 87% of the blend. Layered and so seamless that no one characteristic sticks out from the others, its solid tannin and acid structure suggest cellar longevity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rodney Strong Vineyards \u003cem>2015 Sonoma County Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon $45\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> There’s a lot of wine here for the price, and it’s arguably the winery’s finest Reserve Cabernet ever. A relatively new addition to the blend is fruit from the mountainous Cooley Ranch north of Alexander Valley; astute matching of oak barrels to those intense grapes works beautifully. The wine is polished and structured, with succulent dark fruit and hints of fresh herbs and cocoa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sebastiani Vineyards \u003cem>2016 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon $26\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> With a 96-point score at NCWC, this wine offers a ton of flavor for the buck.

It’s a pretty rather than potent wine, with racy acidity, juicy red and black cherry fruit, and hints of brown spice, cocoa, and vanilla.

Deep ruby in color, it features black fruit — blackberry and black plum — with caramel, Indian spice, brown sugar, and toasty oak notes. The finish is satiny and lingering, the structure solid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>St. Francis Winery \u003cem>2016 Sonoma County Tres Viejos Old Vines Zinfandel $48\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This wine hit the jackpot at NCWC, scoring 99 points, and winning best of show red wine and best wine of the competition. Winemaker Katie Madigan blended grapes from three heritage vineyards (“three old ones”), in Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, and Sonoma Valley. The result: a complete and polished wine with vibrant, brambly raspberry and dark cherry flavors, Asian spice, and a long finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seghesio Family Vineyards \u003cem>2017 Sonoma County Zinfandel $26\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Seghesio produces myriad Zinfandels, across many sites and price points, yet this Sonoma County blend is the flagship, widely available and priced just right. It’s juicy and supple, with brambly raspberry and boysenberry fruit and hints of vanilla and cocoa. It goes down easy, thanks to its moderate (for Zinfandel) 14.8% alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tom Mackey Cellars \u003cem>2016 Sonoma Valley Zinfandel $30\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Tom Mackey was the winemaker at St. Francis for 30 years, mentoring Katie Madigan, also a winner in this category, and co-winemaker Chris Louton. After retiring Mackey founded his own brand, with partner Clyde Galatine, focusing on red wines from Sonoma Valley.

Longtime winemaker Kevin Hall selected Merlot to anchor the blend, adding Zinfandel, Grenache, Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah to create a sum greater than its parts.

With a supple Merlot base, it’s ready to enjoy now yet will still develop over the next five years. Mocha, cola, dark cherry, and plum paint the palate; the tannins are mouth-coating yet with a proper bite, and the finish is long and cleansing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Imagery Estate Winery \u003cem>2016 Sonoma County Sangiovese $42\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This version of Tuscan Chianti has the classic Old World red cherry, tomato leaf, and high acidity of Italian Sangiovese, but also a New World generosity of ripe fruit.

Whether the French Champagne company (with a Pinot Noir outpost in Anderson Valley) will continue to produce this dessert wine remains to be seen, but it would be a shame not to continue making this marvel.

That makes choosing the finest wines of the year from thousands of candidates an excruciatingly difficult — and delicious — task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our list of the Top 100 wines of 2019 includes expensive bottles as well as many great deals. But value is relative. Like art, antiques, 11-course dinners, and Warriors playoff tickets, wines are worth what the market is willing to pay. It’s hard to feel sticker shock about a $70 Sonoma Pinot Noir when a Burgundy of equal quality costs three times that much. And top-tier Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons sell for $250 or more, so by comparison, Sonoma’s finest are true bargains. That calls for an end-of-year toast to a fabulously diverse wine region that produces something for everyone, across all price levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>METHODOLOGY\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Healdsburg-based wine critic Linda Murphy selected the Top 100 Wines of 2019 based on her yearlong tastings at wineries and of samples sent to her, as well as her blind tastings at wine competitions including \u003cem>The Press Democrat 2019 North Coast Wine Challenge\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former managing editor of \u003cem>Sonoma Magazine\u003c/em>, Murphy writes the LikeWine feature in each issue, was the founding editor of the San Francisco Chronicle wine section (earning two James Beard Awards), and contributes to \u003cem>The Press Democrat\u003c/em>, \u003ca>jancisrobinson.com\u003c/a>, and \u003cem>Decanter\u003c/em> magazine, among other publications. She’s evaluated Sonoma wines for 30 years in a professional capacity but always has the consumer in mind with her recommendations. Not all expensive wines are worth their price, and many value-priced wines deliver far more interest than their price would suggest. This philosophy is reflected in our Top 100 Wines choices. Something for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Flaunt, an elegant blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, offers crisp green apple and citrus flavors enhanced by hints of brioche, almond skin, and toast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards \u003cem>NV Carneros Blanc de Noirs $22 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>This moderately rich yet also racy wine scored 99 points and was voted best of class at the 2019 North Coast Wine Challenge (NCWC). It’s predominantly Pinot Noir with a splash of Chardonnay, and while its delicate pink color suggests a delicate wine, under that lacy veil lurks vibrant red berry, cherry, and strawberry aromas and flavors, and a gentle creaminess in the mid-palate. The finish is pert and persistent, the value excellent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Inman Family Wines \u003cem>2016 OGV Estate Russian River Valley Brut Rosé $68 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Kathleen and Simon Inman’s OGV vineyard at the intersection of Piner and Olivet roads is the sole source for this fine, focused, 100% Pinot Noir sparkler. Delicate yeastiness and a hint of vanilla add interest to the crisp raspberry, citrus, and clementine personality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Iron Horse Vineyards \u003cem>2014 Green Valley of Russian River Valley Classic Vintage Brut $45\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Vintage after vintage, Iron Horse’s flagship wine shines at an attractive price for refined fizz. The aroma is of fresh-baked bread, green apple, and citrus. The palate is compact and dry, with firm structure, tiny bubbles, and hints of Meyer lemon and Asian pear. It’s elegance in a glass, as Champagne-like as California sparkling wine can be, yet with sunny Sonoma fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kokomo Winery \u003cem>2014 Peters Vineyard Sonoma Coast Blanc de Blancs $58\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Grower and winery partner Randy Peters’ Chardonnay grapes from the cool Sonoma coast are the foundation of this wine. It spent some time in neutral oak barrels as a still wine and was fermented and aged on the spent yeast cells for two years. As a result, notes of brioche and hazelnut complement the Meyer lemon and white peach fruit, embraced by nervy acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Longboard Vineyards \u003cem>NV Russian River Valley Brut Rosé $50 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Fizz runs through the veins of Longboard owner and winemaker Oded Shakked. A former sparkling winemaker for J. Vineyards & Winery, he sells three bubblies at his Healdsburg cellar. This one is gorgeous in its strawberry color and fresh-fruit flavors. Fermentation of the grapes in neutral oak barrels help soften the crunchy natural acidity, and aging on the yeast cells add complexity and toasty mouthfeel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards \u003cem>2014 Russian River Valley Winemaker’s Release Grand Cuvée $43 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Vine Hill Ranch Chardonnay (60%) and Owsley Vineyard Pinot Noir meld beautifully in this dry, four-year-aged sparkler with Champagne structure and sunny green apple and citrus flavor. Accents of brioche, yeast, and macadamia nut add complexity to Sonoma-Cutrer’s first sparkling wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135869\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2019/12/11/top-100-sonoma-wines-2019/belden-barns-adam-decker/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-135869\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/Belden-Barns-Adam-Decker.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/Belden-Barns-Adam-Decker.png 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/Belden-Barns-Adam-Decker-160x96.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/Belden-Barns-Adam-Decker-800x478.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/Belden-Barns-Adam-Decker-768x459.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Belden Barns vineyards. \u003ccite>(Adam Decker)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>SAUVIGNON BLANC\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aperture Cellars \u003cem>2018 Dry Stack Vineyard Bennett Valley Barrel-Fermented Sauvignon Blanc $40\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> On Old Redwood Highway south of Healdsburg, Jesse Katz is developing a winery and visitor center on land he purchased from the Ponzo family in 2016. Zinfandel was planted there in 1912, and it remains today alongside new plantings of Bordeaux red grapes. Yet when it comes to white Bordeaux — Sauvignon Blanc blended with Semillon — Katz looks to the cooler Bennett Valley east of Santa Rosa. This full-flavored, barrel-fermented wine delivers waves of green-flesh melon, white peach, and citrus, finishing with spice and tension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belden Barns \u003cem>2018 Sonoma Mountain Estate Sauvignon Blanc $28\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> At once bold and crisp, this unfiltered wine from Nate and Lauren Belden is luscious and exotic, with white peach, ruby grapefruit, pineapple, and lemon-zest character. It finishes with lingering flavors and mouthwatering acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Davis Bynum \u003cem>2018 Virginia’s Block Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc $25\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Gentle fresh-herb and freshgrass notes add interest to the succulent kiwi fruit, lime, and tropical flavors. Winemaker Greg Morthole aged approximately 60% of the wine in neutral oak and acacia barrels, which enhanced the mouthfeel without interfering with the wine’s vibrancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dry Creek Vineyard \u003cem>2018 Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc $20 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Sauvignon Musque and Sauvignon Gris join traditional Sauvignon Blanc grapes in this full-flavored wine with lemon- lime, tropical fruit, nectarine, and honeydew-melon aromas and flavors. A small portion of the wine was aged in chestnut, acacia, and French oak barrels, slightly softening the natural acidity of the grapes while adding a layer of complexity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Geyser Peak Winery \u003cem>2018 Winemaker Selection Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc $24 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Styled very much like a Marlborough, New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc, this wine has energetic acidity and vibrant grapefruit, passion fruit, fresh-cut grass, and lime aromas and flavors. A bit of Gewürztraminer adds floral and spice notes. Best of show white-wine winner at NCWC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MacLeod Family Vineyards \u003cem>2018 Indian Springs Ranch Sonoma Valley Sauvignon Blanc $24\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> The MacLeod family’s Kenwood ranch delivers a crisp, classy Sauvignon Blanc year after year. The 2018 bottling is loaded with lemon, lime, white peach, and honeydew melon goodness, finishing long and juicy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saini Vineyards \u003cem>2018 Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc $23\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Inviting aromas of jasmine, lemon verbena, and fresh-cut grass lead to a crisp palate of lemon-lime, grapefruit, and honeydew melon. It’s the sort of balanced, vibrant wine that works beautifully as a sipper and as a mate for shellfish, grilled fish, and roast chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2019/12/11/top-100-sonoma-wines-2019/wine3/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-135865\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-135865\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine3.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine3-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine3-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine3-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>CHARDONNAY\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ferrari-Carano \u003cem>2017 Sonoma County Chardonnay $23\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Bargain alert. This Dry Creek Valley winery does great things with its reserve, site-specific, and mountain-grown wines, yet this county-appellation Chardonnay stands out as a wonder for its price (typically discounted at chain stores). A full-bodied yet elegant wine, it charms with aromas and flavors of citrus, pear, white peach, apple, graham cracker, and vanilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Flanagan Wines \u003cem>2016 Ritchie Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay $68\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This is a textural wonder, made from grapes grown in Kent Ritchie’s vineyard, where plantings date to the early 1970s. The wine is elegant, multilayered, and mouth-filling in a beautifully subtle way, with green apple and Asian pear aromas and flavors enhanced by subtle oak spice. The crisp finish goes on and on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery \u003cem>2016 Russian River Valley Olivet Lane Vineyard Chardonnay $45\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> The Pellegrini family planted this vineyard in 1976 on a benchland in the Santa Rosa Plain, and the grapes have been highly prized ever since. Gary Farrell winemaker Theresa Heredia’s version of Olivet Lane Chardonnay is crisp and complex, with nuances of apple, tangerine, curd, and brioche. It’s medium- full-bodied and gently oaked, and has a long, satisfying finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hartford Family Wines \u003cem>2016 Three Jacks Vineyard Green Valley of Russian River Valley Chardonnay $65\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Here is a Chardonnay that has both power and purity. It’s full-bodied and rich, with peach, Meyer lemon, guava, and fresh-baked bread character, and a thread of minerality running from the aroma through the finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LaRue Wines \u003cem>2017 Charles Heintz Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay $60\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Katy Wilson is a noted winemaking consultant and taps some of her favorite vineyards for her own brand, named for her great-grandmother, Veona LaRue Newell. From the Heintz Vineyard, located east of Occidental, Wilson achieved a fruit-filled, flavorful wine at just 12.5% alcohol. Striking minerality and acidity plump the Meyer lemon and green apple flavors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MacRostie \u003cem>2017 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay $25\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Multiple vineyards, including Sangiacomo, Dutton Ranch, and Steve MacRostie’s own Wildcat Mountain Vineyard, combine in an exceptional wine for the price and vineyard pedigree. A mélange of lemon meringue pie, pineapple, blood orange, and baked apple is supported by caramel and spice notes from oak aging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ramey Wine Cellars \u003cem>2016 Westside Farms Estate Russian River Valley Chardonnay $65\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Chardonnay master David Ramey and his wife, Carla, own just one vineyard and this is it: Westside Farms on Healdsburg’s Westside Road. This wine offers generous aromas and flavors of pear, Fuji apple, and citrus, plus a touch of flint. Oak fermentation and aging add spice and mouth-filling texture to this complex wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sangiacomo Family Wines \u003cem>2017 Home Ranch Carneros Chardonnay $65\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> The Sangiacomo family has farmed in Sonoma for more than 50 years, custom-grooming their vineyards for winery clients. Beginning in 2016, the Sangiacomos began producing their own wines — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon — with James MacPhail as their winemaker. This wine is representative of their style: vibrant citrus and green apple character, judicious use of oak as a seasoning to build texture, and palate-cleansing acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sojourn \u003cem>2017 Durell Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay $48\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This is a rich, juicy wine, powerful yet pure, with poached pear, pineapple, white peach, and citrus aromas and flavors. Fruit from Durell, an iconic Sonoma vineyard, is sold to several producers. At Sojourn, those grapes become a crowd-pleasing wine with toasty oak on the lingering finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thirty-Seven Wines \u003cem>2016 Sonoma Coast Reserve Chardonnay $36\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This wine scored a whopping 98 points and was voted best of class at NCWC. There is some toasty oak on the aroma and finish, which brackets the scintillating lemon curd, green melon, and Granny Smith fruit. Brisk more than luscious, it’s a mouthwatering rendition of coastal Chardonnay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Three Sticks \u003cem>2017 Durell Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay $55\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Three Sticks proprietor Bill Price purchased Durell Vineyard 20 years ago and takes grapes from the oldest blocks in the site, in the hills above Sonoma Valley, for his Chardonnay. Full-bodied and remarkably complex, it delivers a mouthful of green apple, Asian pear, white peach, and citrus flavors, finishing with a hint of oak and juicy acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trombetta Family Wines \u003cem>2017 Gap’s Crown Petaluma Gap Chardonnay $60\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Winemaker Erica Stancliff and her parents, Rickey and Roger Stancliff, are among the new rock stars in Sonoma winemaking — as evidenced by this exceptional Chardonnay, which combines vibrant lemon curd and tropical fruit with light-handed oak influence and sturdy structure. Delicious now, it’s also worthy of cellaring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2019/12/11/top-100-sonoma-wines-2019/wine4/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-135864\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-135864\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine4.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine4-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine4-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine4-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine4-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine4-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>OTHER WHITES\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Barber Cellars \u003cem>2018 Rougissant Keller Estate Petaluma Gap Pinot Gris $26\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Alsatian in style, this wine is invitingly aromatic, with acacia blossom, lemon, and mandarinorange scents.

Bright pear, apple, and white peach are the palate stars, with citrus notes on the clean finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gundlach Bundschu \u003cem>2018 Sonoma Valley Gewürztraminer $27\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This exotic wine is a perennial on the Top 100 list, and one of the finest Gewürztraminers made in California. From the rose petal, ginger, and lychee aromas to the juicy mouthful of pear, apple, and citrus flavors, it has a sense of sweetness from the ripe fruit, yet is remarkably dry and crisp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Leo Steen\u003c/strong> \u003cem>\u003cstrong>2018 Saini Farms Dry Creek Valley Chenin Blanc $18\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> It took a Danish native, Leo Steen Hansen, to find one of the few plantings of premium Chenin Blanc in Northern California and bring it to glory in the bottle. The white flower and white pepper aromas and sunny peach, pear, and citrus flavors come from vines planted 40 years ago. The finish offers mouthwatering acidity and a hint of minerality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Peterson Winery\u003c/strong> \u003cem>\u003cstrong>2017 Bradford Mountain Estate Dry Creek Valley 3V White Wine Blend $28\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> The three Vs — Vermentino, Vernaccia, and Verdelho – combine in this lip-smacking wine. Crunchy apple, pear, and citrus dominate the palate, with background notes of pineapple, guava, and green apple.

Right out of the gate, he released this crisp, floral, and textured white wine.

They sourced the 3-acre Harmony Lane Vineyard, between Occidental and Graton, for this wine, which is floral in aroma and crisp on the palate. Vibrant red and black cherry, gentle oak spice, and suave tannins make for a gorgeous Pinot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Balletto Vineyards \u003cem>2017 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir $30 \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Bright and lively, this wine has aromas and flavors of violets, Asian spice, red cherry, raspberry, and cola.

And pricey ($75). And difficult to acquire, if you’re not a wine club member. For a taste of Benovia at a lower price and with a greater chance for finding it, check out this Russian River Valley blend. It delivers concentrated blackberry and red plum flavors, spice, crisp acidity, and a mouthful of pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cartograph Wines \u003cem>2017 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir $48\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Alan Baker and Serena Lourie are the couple behind Cartograph, a passion project they started after careers in other fields. They own one Russian River Valley vineyard and purchase from others, including sites in Anderson Valley in Mendocino County.

Pinot Noir was their major attraction to Sonoma; without vineyards of their own, they purchased grapes and hit the jackpot with Pinot from Keller Estate.

Winemaker/partner Mike Sullivan grew up on Sonoma Mountain, and this wine comes from his family’s Four Brothers Vineyard there. It shows the polished side of Grenache, yet is layered and complex, with savory herbs and saddle leather notes accenting the bright red fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Enkidu Wine \u003cem>2017 Sonoma County E Cuvee JM $20\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> A best of class winner at NCWC, this wine delivers tremendous value. The “E” represents everyday- drinking wines at affordable prices, and this Grenache-Syrah-Mourvedre blend fits the bill beautifully.

His devotion to the Rhône Valley red shows in this medium-fullbodied wine with juicy cherry and strawberry flavors and a vibrancy that can get lost in Grenache’s tendency to get overripe in the vineyard.

Bright acidity supports the plump red plum and cherry fruit, the tannins are polished, and the finish is refreshingly vibrant.

This full-bodied, dark-fruited Cab, which scored 96 points at NCWC, is rich yet refined, with silky tannins and a slight herbal shading for added interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Buena Vista Winery \u003cem>2016 Sonoma County Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon $75\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Director of Winemaking Brian Maloney selected grapes grown throughout the county for this top-flight wine. It’s big-bodied and sumptuous, packed with black currant and plum fruit, dark chocolate, and dried-herb notes, and a refreshing finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cannonball \u003cem>2016 ELEVEN Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon $40\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Healdsburg-based Cannonball’s flagship is a California-appellation Cabernet Sauvignon that has broad distribution and sells for around $15. Winemaker Ondine Chattan blended wine lots from the best barrels for this ultra-premium Cab, which offers rich dark cherry fruit and hints of chocolate, forest floor, and cedar. It’s a big-league effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Flambeaux Wine \u003cem>2015 Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon $60\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> The Murray family, New Orleans natives, found a new home in Dry Creek Valley and named their wine brand after the Flambeaux torch bearers of Mardi Gras. Their Cabernet is firmly structured yet fleshy, with vibrant red cherry and boysenberry fruit inflected with dried herbs and cedar. Classic and classy, and with ideal ripeness and balance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Garden Creek Vineyards \u003cem>2012 Alexander Valley Tesserae $100\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Owner/winemakers Karin and Justin Warnelius-Miller give their Cabernets three to four years more barrel and bottle aging than most California producers, believing the wines need time to settle and show their best stuff. This current-vintage 2012 is elegant and refined, Cabernet Sauvignondominant and blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Ready to drink now, it should remain fresh-tasting for another decade or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Legacy \u003cem>2013 Alexander Valley Red Wine $100\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> From Jackson Family Wines, this Jess Jackson-inspired blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot was grown on the company’s Jimtown and Alexander Mountain vineyards, at elevations of up to 2,400 feet. Although it’s not labeled as Cabernet Sauvignon, it could be, with that variety comprising 87% of the blend. Layered and so seamless that no one characteristic sticks out from the others, its solid tannin and acid structure suggest cellar longevity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rodney Strong Vineyards \u003cem>2015 Sonoma County Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon $45\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> There’s a lot of wine here for the price, and it’s arguably the winery’s finest Reserve Cabernet ever. A relatively new addition to the blend is fruit from the mountainous Cooley Ranch north of Alexander Valley; astute matching of oak barrels to those intense grapes works beautifully. The wine is polished and structured, with succulent dark fruit and hints of fresh herbs and cocoa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sebastiani Vineyards \u003cem>2016 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon $26\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> With a 96-point score at NCWC, this wine offers a ton of flavor for the buck.

It’s a pretty rather than potent wine, with racy acidity, juicy red and black cherry fruit, and hints of brown spice, cocoa, and vanilla. Zin haters, give it a try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rockpile Vineyards \u003cem>2016 Sonoma County Rockpile Ranch Reserve Zinfandel $72\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This wine gave St. Francis Tres Viejos Zinfandel a run for its money at NCWC, scoring 97 points. Deep ruby in color, it features black fruit — blackberry and black plum — with caramel, Indian spice, brown sugar, and toasty oak notes. The finish is satiny and lingering, the structure solid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>St. Francis Winery \u003cem>2016 Sonoma County Tres Viejos Old Vines Zinfandel $48\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This wine hit the jackpot at NCWC, scoring 99 points, and winning best of show red wine and best wine of the competition. Winemaker Katie Madigan blended grapes from three heritage vineyards (“three old ones”), in Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, and Sonoma Valley. The result: a complete and polished wine with vibrant, brambly raspberry and dark cherry flavors, Asian spice, and a long finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seghesio Family Vineyards \u003cem>2017 Sonoma County Zinfandel $26\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Seghesio produces myriad Zinfandels, across many sites and price points, yet this Sonoma County blend is the flagship, widely available and priced just right. It’s juicy and supple, with brambly raspberry and boysenberry fruit and hints of vanilla and cocoa. It goes down easy, thanks to its moderate (for Zinfandel) 14.8% alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tom Mackey Cellars \u003cem>2016 Sonoma Valley Zinfandel $30\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Tom Mackey was the winemaker at St. Francis for 30 years, mentoring Katie Madigan, also a winner in this category, and co-winemaker Chris Louton. After retiring Mackey founded his own brand, with partner Clyde Galatine, focusing on red wines from Sonoma Valley. This one has wonderful acidity and tangy freshness accompanying the raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry aromas and flavors. Balanced and medium-bodied, it finishes with a hint of peppery spice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Zialena Winery \u003cem>2015 Alexander Valley Zinfandel $38\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> The winery is relatively new, yet the Mazzoni family has farmed in Alexander Valley for a century. Siblings Mike and Lisa Mazzoni own and operate Zialena, and their Zinfandels have been top-notch. The 2015 has an intense pepper quality, spicing up the rich dark cherry and raspberry fruit. Mouth-filling texture and a refreshing finish complete the complex package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135857\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2019/12/11/top-100-sonoma-wines-2019/wine11/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-135857\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135857\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine11.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine11-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine11-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine11-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine11-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/wine11-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Imagery Estate winemaker Jamie Benziger \u003ccite>(Courtesy photo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>OTHER REDS\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alexander Valley Vineyards \u003cem>2017 Alexander Valley Homestead Red Blend $23\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Value lovers should seek out this blend of red varieties grown on AVV’s estate. Longtime winemaker Kevin Hall selected Merlot to anchor the blend, adding Zinfandel, Grenache, Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah to create a sum greater than its parts. It’s floral, juicy, and spicy, with good tannic grip.

The tannins are mature and supple, showing nary a hint of astringency, yet the structure is solid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arbor Bench Vineyards \u003cem>2015 Dry Creek Valley Malbec $30\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This best of class winner at NCWC has intense blackberry, blueberry, and spice cake aromas and flavors, plus traces of thyme, vanilla, and lavender.

With a supple Merlot base, it’s ready to enjoy now yet will still develop over the next five years. Mocha, cola, dark cherry, and plum paint the palate; the tannins are mouth-coating yet with a proper bite, and the finish is long and cleansing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Imagery Estate Winery \u003cem>2016 Sonoma County Sangiovese $42\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This version of Tuscan Chianti has the classic Old World red cherry, tomato leaf, and high acidity of Italian Sangiovese, but also a New World generosity of ripe fruit. This one’s a youngster, delicious now and also likely to gain density and complexity with another year in the bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saini Vineyards \u003cem>2017 Dry Creek Valley Estate Angelo’s Paint Brush $35\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> This wine is an homage to field blend red wines made in Sonoma’s early days. A blend of Carignane, Sangiovese, and Grenache, it’s rewarding in its lively cherry and berry fruit, hint of vanilla from oak aging, and mouth-filling texture. Medium-full-bodied, it closes with vibrant acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sassoferrato \u003cem>2016 Alexander Valley Monte de Ferro $65\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> Named for winemaker Matt Smith’s ancestral home in Italy, this 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese, was a best of class wine at NCWC. A New World version of a Super Tuscan, its Cabernet character shows in the cedar and black currant aromas and flavors.

Whether the French Champagne company (with a Pinot Noir outpost in Anderson Valley) will continue to produce this dessert wine remains to be seen, but it would be a shame not to continue making this marvel.

Sonoma County officials also suggested a $131,060 fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for environmental activists watching the investigation, fines and restoration attempts aren't going to cut it; they want Reimers — an experienced captain of industry whom they say knew better — to face a criminal prosecution, which could lead to a jail sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want him to be an example of what you can't do here,\" says Anna Ransome, founder of a small organization called Friends of Atascadero Wetlands. In August, the group sent a letter to Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravich, asking that she prosecute Reimers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If winemakers can figure into their budget paying fines and doing minimal restoration work, then what's to stop the next guy from doing the same thing?\" Ransome says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The D.A.'s office did not return requests for comment.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Multiple efforts to reach Reimers for comment were unsuccessful.

After week-long closures due to power shutoffs and mandatory evacuation orders, they are eager to let the public know that Sonoma County is open for business. And understandably so: in a region where much of the local economy relies on tourism, the effects of natural disasters like the Kincade fire — \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/10272861-181/88-percent-containment-for-kincade\">now fully contained\u003c/a> — can linger and negatively impact businesses for weeks, months, even years to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the second time in two years that fires have burned in Sonoma County during the bustling harvest season — in October 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomamag.com/sonoma-county-fires-in-40-photographs/\">the Tubbs, Nuns and Pocket fires raged for three weeks\u003c/a>. Last year, smoke from the Camp fire in Butte County blanketed the area in November and, in February of this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomamag.com/zazu-pulls-out-of-the-barlow-two-months-after-flood/\">floods damaged businesses and homes in Guerneville and Sebastopol\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, the local community remains resilient.

After week-long closures due to power shutoffs and mandatory evacuation orders, they are eager to let the public know that Sonoma County is open for business. And understandably so: in a region where much of the local economy relies on tourism, the effects of natural disasters like the Kincade fire — \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/10272861-181/88-percent-containment-for-kincade\">now fully contained\u003c/a> — can linger and negatively impact businesses for weeks, months, even years to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the second time in two years that fires have burned in Sonoma County during the bustling harvest season — in October 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomamag.com/sonoma-county-fires-in-40-photographs/\">the Tubbs, Nuns and Pocket fires raged for three weeks\u003c/a>. Last year, smoke from the Camp fire in Butte County blanketed the area in November and, in February of this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomamag.com/zazu-pulls-out-of-the-barlow-two-months-after-flood/\">floods damaged businesses and homes in Guerneville and Sebastopol\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, the local community remains resilient. Just as in October 2017 and in February of this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/10243821-181/close-calls-and-grace-notes?ref=related\">the outpouring of support and generosity is again prevalent\u003c/a>. Sonoma County will recover from this recent blow and while it does, we will continue to celebrate this beautiful place we’re proud to call home.

"content": "\u003cp>Rolling hills of vineyard-covered terrain…grand chateaus...breathtaking views...deer and coyotes frolicking in the yard. That’s how we expect wineries to look, right? That's not the case when you’re exploring Oakland and Berkeley’s urban wineries — except that almost all of them are very dog-friendly (and kid-friendly) so it’s easy to confuse a coyote for an Australian Shepherd.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID='bayareabites_132348,bayareabites_134208' target=_ label='More Vineyards to Visit']\u003cbr>\nThere are roughly 15 or so urban wineries in the two East Bay cities, most of which are open to the public on weekends and concentrated in the Gilman District of Berkeley, Uptown Oakland or Jack London Square. Next time you’re thinking about wine tasting, consider skipping the long drives to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/134434/a-northern-california-wine-bootcamp-adventure-from-san-francisco-to-healdsburg\">Sonoma County, Napa County\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/132348/a-perfect-weekend-in-livermore-valley-wine-country\">Livermore Valley\u003c/a> and Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there are terrific wineries in all those regions (and you should go when the logistics work out!), but it’s so much easier/faster/more fun to swing over to the East Bay for an afternoon of wine on par quality-wise with anything in St. Helena or Healdsburg. Better yet, the prices are a fraction of what you’ll find in the big-name wine regions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this article, I decided to not include the trailblazing trio of Donkey & Goat, Broc and Dashe (note that they just moved from Oakland to Alameda) because there are already so many articles about them. I say, visit those three wineries, but try expanding your trip to these other wineries that are a little less well known but just as delightful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you’ll see, many of these wineries produce wines from various Northern California regions. Remember, many wine regions like Burgundy have had this non-estate centric model for centuries where producers make wine in a central location after sourcing from all kinds of vineyards in myriad directions. It isn’t new. It’s just…different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s cheers to visionary winemakers and head over to BART now for a weekend day of wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Côte West\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/5C5PwEScgM9vuWmX9\">2101 Dennison St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSuite A, Oakland\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135076\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135076\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome to Côte West in Oakland’s Embarcadero Cove\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Welcome to Côte West in Oakland’s Embarcadero Cove \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Côte Chalonnaise...Côte Ouest? Well, make that West and you get the idea of how this \u003ca href=\"cotewestwine.com\">husband-and-wife run winery\u003c/a> is a compelling (and playful) mash-up of Burgundy’s Old World mindset and methods, with California’s terroir and New World creativity mindset.

However, it is exceedingly rare for an American to have the chance to work with the truly elite producers of Burgundy — the ones where collectors don’t blink at paying four digits per bottle.

In general, twomile tends to present a more traditional, refined style, while Tintype can sometimes veer towards the natural, sometimes funky direction. But, both producers’ themes are really about poised, expressive wines that highlight the grapes’ particular homes in Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, there’s a big Berkeley connection for both wineries. The ‘two miles’ for twomile refers to UC Berkeley’s old two-mile (and for a time three miles) radius from the center of campus where alcohol could not be sold. Owner/winemaker Adam Nelson originally started making wine with his wines for the twomile label right outside of this radius in Berkeley on San Pablo Avenue (though the alcohol prohibition law enforced by the radius was long gone at that point in the early 2000s). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Tintype co-founder Nick Johnson worked an internship at Berkeley’s Donkey & Goat in 2011, which led him to take his fiancée (now wife and fellow Tintype co-founder Abigail Vorce) on a bike trip of France’s celebrated wine regions. After working a 2012 vintage harvest in Alsace, they decided to create a winery back home. So, Tintype started two years later…and here we are today seven years after that decision at Alsace’s famed Domaine Binner, an estate that started making minimalist, mostly sulfur-free wines decades before Donkey & Goat and Tintype. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s all full circle – with a two-mile radius of course.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Blue Ox\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/46EfkbVixsGKM5Yp9\">1350 Fifth St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135079\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135079\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Ox is located on what has become a sort of “winery row” on Berkeley’s Fifth Street\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blue Ox is located on what has become a sort of “winery row” on Berkeley’s Fifth Street \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blueoxwineco.com/\">Blue Ox Wine Co.\u003c/a> Josh Hammerling and Noah Kenoyer met at Broc Cellars and decided to start their own winery in 2017, but opted to specialize in a relatively rare concept for Northern California: sparkling wines produced from organic, dry-farmed vineyards.

Even Gifford’s self-described “pizza wine,” the ‘Red Triangle’ blend, is a rollicking mix of Syrah, Grenache and Pinot Noir that has an easy-drinking body but a slick, deeply nuanced character of dried herbs and dried stone fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bonus winery: Vinca Minor\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/3zxj8QjdYiSTx6FH7\">1335 Fourth St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135085\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135085\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines.jpg\" alt=\"The exciting Chardonnays and Carignans from Vinca Minor\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The exciting Chardonnays and Carignans from Vinca Minor \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There’s one more winery now open to the public in the Gilman District — and it has been a longtime sommeliers-and-wine-geeks-favorite in the Bay Area.

Next time you’re thinking about wine tasting, consider skipping the long drives to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/134434/a-northern-california-wine-bootcamp-adventure-from-san-francisco-to-healdsburg\">Sonoma County, Napa County\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/132348/a-perfect-weekend-in-livermore-valley-wine-country\">Livermore Valley\u003c/a> and Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there are terrific wineries in all those regions (and you should go when the logistics work out!), but it’s so much easier/faster/more fun to swing over to the East Bay for an afternoon of wine on par quality-wise with anything in St. Helena or Healdsburg. Better yet, the prices are a fraction of what you’ll find in the big-name wine regions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this article, I decided to not include the trailblazing trio of Donkey & Goat, Broc and Dashe (note that they just moved from Oakland to Alameda) because there are already so many articles about them. I say, visit those three wineries, but try expanding your trip to these other wineries that are a little less well known but just as delightful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you’ll see, many of these wineries produce wines from various Northern California regions. Remember, many wine regions like Burgundy have had this non-estate centric model for centuries where producers make wine in a central location after sourcing from all kinds of vineyards in myriad directions. It isn’t new. It’s just…different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s cheers to visionary winemakers and head over to BART now for a weekend day of wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Côte West\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/5C5PwEScgM9vuWmX9\">2101 Dennison St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSuite A, Oakland\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135076\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135076\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome to Côte West in Oakland’s Embarcadero Cove\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/cote-west-open-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Welcome to Côte West in Oakland’s Embarcadero Cove \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Côte Chalonnaise...Côte Ouest?

However, it is exceedingly rare for an American to have the chance to work with the truly elite producers of Burgundy — the ones where collectors don’t blink at paying four digits per bottle.

Both 2015’s are from the La Cruz Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast and both indeed toe the line effortlessly between Burgundy’s non-intervention style and muscle-bound texture, with classic Sonoma Coast deep fruit and rugged earth notes. They’re sensational wines, managing to be restrained and elegant, yet exciting simultaneously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same can be said with all of the Côte West wines, whether it’s a fresh, vibrant Pine Mountain Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Pétillant Naturel, or a Dry Creek Valley Grenache that delightfully bridges the gap of the grape’s tendency to be too herbal or too fruity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tastings are $15 and only on weekends at the winery, which is located in the most out-of-the-way location of any of the urban wineries in the East Bay.

In general, twomile tends to present a more traditional, refined style, while Tintype can sometimes veer towards the natural, sometimes funky direction. But, both producers’ themes are really about poised, expressive wines that highlight the grapes’ particular homes in Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, there’s a big Berkeley connection for both wineries. The ‘two miles’ for twomile refers to UC Berkeley’s old two-mile (and for a time three miles) radius from the center of campus where alcohol could not be sold. Owner/winemaker Adam Nelson originally started making wine with his wines for the twomile label right outside of this radius in Berkeley on San Pablo Avenue (though the alcohol prohibition law enforced by the radius was long gone at that point in the early 2000s). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Tintype co-founder Nick Johnson worked an internship at Berkeley’s Donkey & Goat in 2011, which led him to take his fiancée (now wife and fellow Tintype co-founder Abigail Vorce) on a bike trip of France’s celebrated wine regions. After working a 2012 vintage harvest in Alsace, they decided to create a winery back home. So, Tintype started two years later…and here we are today seven years after that decision at Alsace’s famed Domaine Binner, an estate that started making minimalist, mostly sulfur-free wines decades before Donkey & Goat and Tintype. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s all full circle – with a two-mile radius of course.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Blue Ox\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/46EfkbVixsGKM5Yp9\">1350 Fifth St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135079\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135079\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Ox is located on what has become a sort of “winery row” on Berkeley’s Fifth Street\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blue Ox is located on what has become a sort of “winery row” on Berkeley’s Fifth Street \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blueoxwineco.com/\">Blue Ox Wine Co.\u003c/a> Josh Hammerling and Noah Kenoyer met at Broc Cellars and decided to start their own winery in 2017, but opted to specialize in a relatively rare concept for Northern California: sparkling wines produced from organic, dry-farmed vineyards.

There’s the, ahem, lovely ‘In the Mood for Love’ rosé of Carignan sourced from Ricetti Vineyard in the Redwood Valley of Mendocino County, the slick ‘El Topo’ Mourvèdre from Laytonville (it’s in Mendocino County, about as far north as grapes grow in California) and a rare-to-see Cabernet Pfeffer grape bottling from the Lime Kiln Valley in San Benito County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135080\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135080\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-int.jpg\" alt=\"The artsy-industrial interior of Berkeley newcomer Bue Ox Wine Co.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-int.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-int-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-int-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-int-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-int-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-int-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The artsy-industrial interior of Berkeley newcomer Bue Ox Wine Co. \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Most of these wines are also available by the glass from $8-$12, and that’s a good thing because Blue Ox just might be the most stylish, comfortable winery in the Gilman neighborhood.

The area is Pinot Noir gold for its year-round fog and sun, combined with a constant marine breeze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each estate Pinot Noir is gorgeous and distinct, differing slightly in terms of clones and areas of the vineyard. The regular ‘estate grown’ bottling is the most elegant and red berry-forward, while ‘Ficus’ has a lot more energy and jammy fruit.

At that time, \u003ca href=\"https://www.windchaserwine.com/\">Windchaser\u003c/a> was pretty much an unadorned warehouse with barrels of wine hanging out, and winemaker/owner Dave Gifford also hanging out, just talking about how he’s getting the hang of this having your own winery thing. After a recent visit, I’m convinced that he just might be producing the premier wine of any of the Bay’s urban wineries — and that’s really saying something with the quality of his peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winery name is quite literal since he’s an avid windsurfer and surfer who, yes, chases after great waves as if he’s being blown around by the wind. It could also stand for how Gifford has bounced around a lot within the wine profession, going from working in restaurants and at the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant, to a harvest at Donkey & Goat (another connection there), to being head of sales for the urban custom winery ‘Crushpad,’ to founding Dogpatch Wineworks (a connection to Côte West here). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wind finally blew him to make wine under the Windchaser label in the Gilman District in 2015, which explains why everything was so new when we visited in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135084\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135084\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space.jpg\" alt=\"The winery and tasting room are the same space for Windchaser\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The winery and tasting room are the same space for Windchaser \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Windchaser’s tasting area is vast, fun and exceedingly casual, taking place in the same space as the wine production and barrel storage. Unlike in 2017, the tasting room now has some design aspects like flowers, a California flag, lots of tables made with barrels as bases and a retro 90s compact disk player (remember CD’s?!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wine is the real focus here, led by Anderson Valley Pinot Noir on the $16 tasting. Across the board quality is strong here, from a lively Chardonnay sourced also from the Anderson Valley to Mendocino Ridge Syrah. Even Gifford’s self-described “pizza wine,” the ‘Red Triangle’ blend, is a rollicking mix of Syrah, Grenache and Pinot Noir that has an easy-drinking body but a slick, deeply nuanced character of dried herbs and dried stone fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bonus winery: Vinca Minor\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/3zxj8QjdYiSTx6FH7\">1335 Fourth St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135085\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135085\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines.jpg\" alt=\"The exciting Chardonnays and Carignans from Vinca Minor\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The exciting Chardonnays and Carignans from Vinca Minor \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There’s one more winery now open to the public in the Gilman District — and it has been a longtime sommeliers-and-wine-geeks-favorite in the Bay Area. Winemaker/owner Jason Edward Charles worked at some of the world’s preeminent (and buttoned-up) wineries in Napa Valley and Pomerol, Bordeaux, and he’s taken those regions’ winemaking prowess with him on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vincaminorwine.com/\">Vinca Minor\u003c/a> adventure, while also spinning those regions’ disciplined methodology and style all around, and loosening up the imaginary winemaking suit and tie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I visited Vinca Minor, which is right next to Windchaser on Fourth Street, it happened to be during an opening party, so a tasting wasn’t possible...but it is possible now on weekends for visitors to do a full tasting!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carignan is a well-known signature for Vinca Minor and I enjoyed splashes of both the lighter 2017 and hearty, spicy 2016 before settling on the latter. Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay was the highlight that I remember from a 2018 wine dinner (at the newly closed, much missed Commonwealth) and my splash at the winery showed that it’s indeed terrific in the 2018 vintage too. Vinca Minor also produces rosé of Carignan, and a handful of other wines, mainly Bordeaux red varietals from the Sonoma County side of Carneros and from the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
