Liquid tax relief Recent Press Navarro Kitchen

Folks at Navarro believe a glass of good wine should be an everyday event and our customers seem to agree. They snap up this wine by the case load. Table Wine means one thing to the US government and something a bit different in Europe. When we started making wine thirty years ago our winery permit came from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. That changed some time ago so now we answer to the Tax and Trade Bureau. As far as TTB is concerned, Table Wine defines a tax category. It is wine that is less than 14% alcohol and is taxed $.50 a gallon less than wine with more punch. Well, this wine is less than 14%... but what we were getting at when we named it has more to do with what the French refer to as Vin de Table and the Italians call Vino da Tavola. These are wines that are more generic in nature and generally don't qualify as coming from a particular estate or region. Table Wines also happen to be the kind of wine that most Europeans drink everyday.

"Navarro wines are so reasonably priced that the number-mongers among us dare not give the wines ultra-high ratings since the prices more or less defy that. Yet if balance, harmony and varietal correctness were the only criteria used to evaluate wines, I'd expect every Navarro wine ever made to get at least 93 points." -Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences

Navarro's winemaker Jim Klein takes a break from harvest to wave the flag for 4H at the Mendocino County Fair Parade.

Since the crop level of Chardonnay in 2004 was very light in the Anderson Valley, we did the same thing we did with our popular 2002 Table Wine. We supplemented our own grapes with a 56% addition of wine from a premium grower in Santa Barbara. Just like our more expensive Première Reserve and Mendocino Chardonnays, all the lots were aged in French oak barrels. The Mendocino fruit adds citrus-pear flavors and the Santa Barbara juice inserts a tropical note.
"For me, Navarro has never made a bad wine. Even in wines selling for $10 or even less, the quality is always extremely high. The reason is locked in a word: balance." - Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences
