Summer is when we release wines produced in such small lots that we make them available to our mailing-list friends on a first-come basis. This release includes four white wines perfect for summertime: Navarro's value-packed Pinot Grigio, our Alsatian-inspired Edelzwicker, and a dry Muscat Blanc as well as a sweet Late Harvest Muscat Blanc, both with enticing orange-peach flavors. Four Gold Medal-winning red wines are being released, two of which, Syrah and Grenache, were produced exclusively from biodynamically grown grapes. Also available is a blushingly pretty 2017 Rosé, produced from Grenache grapes grown on ancient vines. Pinot Grigio, Edelzwicker, Rosé and Navarrouge are offered with case specials for as little as $13.50 per bottle, a great way to celebrate the balmy weather. Special pricing on samplers and value-wine case specials, as well as One-Cent ground freight and reduced air freight for all twelve bottle orders will be available until August 31.
Thanks for supporting our family farm,

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.”
