Some of our repeat visitors have discovered that March and April are great months to visit Navarro Vineyards. The crowds are gone, leaving the tasting room staff with plenty of time to chat about Navarro's wines and varietal grape juices. The vineyards' cover crop is emerald green with golden calendulas striping the rows and the hills are filled with bouncing newborn lambs. This year we have even been able to enjoy winter and early spring picnics since the weather has been unusually dry.

Over the last four decades Navarro has established a reputation as a California pioneer of aromatic white wines. That is why we're tickled that all four varietal reds we are currently releasing are Gold Medal winners, with the added kudos of being chosen Best of Class: 2009 Grenache, 2009 Syrah, 2009 Old Vine Zinfandel and 2009 Deep End Pinot Noir. We are also releasing three dry white wines including the dry, Sweepstakes winning 2010 Muscat Blanc as well as a beguiling 2011 Rosé from sixty year old Grenache vines.

Cheers,
