The nights and days have equalized and we are very busy at Navarro picking, crushing and fermenting grapes. The air around our winery and home is redolent with fermentation aromas. Autumn marks the return of the County Fair in Boonville where Navarro won both the White and Red Wine Sweepstakes this year! As the evening lengthen, enjoy some of Navarro's best known reds: Pinot Noir Méthode à l'Ancienne, Zinfandel Old Vine or Cabernet Sauvignon. White wine lovers should not miss our flagship Gewürztraminer Estate Bottled (Dry) or Chardonnay Première Reserve. Looking for a value priced wine? Navarro's Edelzwicker, Rosé and Navarrouge are all priced for every day enjoyment and our special value introductory samplers are a great way to taste a bit of many of the Gold Medal wine we make at considerable savings.
Thanks for supporting our family farm,

Navarro's tasting room staff will help make your visit to Philo an enjoyable event. Each day we offer free tastings of fifteen award-winning wines and we have picnic fixings and plenty of picnic tables. We hope to see you this autumn.
Wine critics' comments on current releases
2015 Chardonnay, Première Reserve $27.00
“That rare combination of richness with structure, showing notes of lemon oil and spice, with fruit notes of pear and apple. At the price, this one's a steal.”
2016 Gewürztraminer, Estate Bottled $22.00
“Varietaly correct. Lovely nose of lychee, peaches, apricots, white flowers and a hint of rosewater perhaps. Paired great with pork shoulder in a chipotle sauce.”
2016 Riesling, Anderson Valley $22.00
“Dry, light-bodied but not wimpy, this crisp wine has a great structure built from acidity and plenty of Granny Smith apple and white-peach flavors to keep it interesting.”
2015 Pinot Noir, Méthode à l'Ancienne $32.00
“This suave and sophisticated wine is so smooth to sip that its depth of flavor is a little deceptive. A subtle potpourri of clove, cinnamon, black tea and blackberry aromas swirl around a great core of concentrated fruit flavor.”
2014 Pinot Noir, Deep End Blend $55.00
“A vivid, potent and concentrated fruit component lights up this full-bodied wine from the first whiff through the finish. Black cherry, violet and cassis come together in a powerful beam of flavor.”
2016 Rose of Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley $22.00
“Navarro hits again with this rich, bright and zesty rosé, displaying fresh strawberry, watermelon and citrus zest knit into a poolside cooler.”
