Bright cherry notes in a lustrous garnet bowl invite the palate to full black cherry, boysenberry and blueberry flavors etched with just enough herbal edge to create complexity in the long, silken finish. Aged in 60 gallon French and American oak barrels which contribute depth and a suggestion of spice and vanilla.

Elegant and delightful, this chardonnay from Guenoc Valley is redolent in apple, lemon, apricot and lime aromas and flavors, offering silky tones and a sustained and smooth finish. Originating in vineyards first planted between 1854 and 1871, the fruit retains the signature of the earth of Guenoc Valley and enjoys the bright acidities and long tannins of a climate blessed with warm, dry days, cool nights and a westerly afternoon breeze.

Harvested from a small corner of the famous Genevieve Magoon Vineyard in Guenoc Valley, this reserve Chardonnay is unfiltered and unfined to preserve every nuance of its uniquely intense fruit. Grown from Dijon clones and fermented with selected Burgundian yeasts in oak barrels produced in Beaune, its classic Burgundian style displays an elegant creaminess enhanced with 100% malolactic fermentation.

Chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla and spice fragrances etched in roses and violets burst open to a silken richness on the palate. Petite Sirah brandy deepens the already complex layers of luxurious fruit from Guenoc Valley’s Serpentine Meadow Reserve Vineyard. A distinctively elegant cuvee, excellent aging potential, limited bottling.

Floral aromas, hinting of lilacs and jasmine, threaded with chocolate, deep cherry, spice, walnuts and vanilla, lead into a brilliant bowl of chewy, black-hued fruit. Flavors of dark cherry, blueberries and blackberries with vanilla become soft, lingering tannins. This vintage is an exquisite cuvée assembled from the traditional Bordeaux varietals grown on the pyroclastic volcanic soils of Guenoc’s famous Tephra Ridge and on the rocky alluvial soils of the Guenoc Valley floor.

A perfect synergy of Guenoc Valley sauvignon blanc and sémillon, this Langtry cuvée offers a bouquet of citrus, apples, figs and melons etched with cinnamon and nutmeg. Layers of bright flavors are tempered with the creaminess of barrel fermentation in French Allier oak. Langtry’s remarkable elegance evokes the best of Guenoc’s John H. Magoon Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Vineyard and sémillon in the heart of Guenoc Valley.

Guenoc's Langtry Reserve Sauvignon Blanc represents the winery's finest fruit from its vineyards in the Guenoc Valley AVA. Guenoc has traditionally produced a Meritage blended white wine in previous years, however the 2003 vintage Sauvignon Blanc was of such exceptional quality that the winemaking team elected to produce a Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. This complex wine was barrel fermented in American, Hungarian, and French Allier oak and aged for eight months. Produced in very limited quantities, this extraordinary wine shows great complexity

Black purple hues embrace blackberry, chocolate and orchid aromas and open into mouth filling flavors that remind one of just how good a petite sirah can be. Fifteen months in American oak endow this lovely wine with sufficient hints of spice and toast to call for an evening by the hearth and a plate of rich gorgonzola or morels roasted with Guenoc’s petite sirah, onions, garlic and rosemary.

Bright citrus-like aroma similar to grapefruit. This wine has a very clean focused fruitiness which is predominantly citrus-like with a background of apricot. The 2002 Guenoc Valley Sauvignon Blanc has a very smooth entry which leads to a full bodied soft and appealing mouth feel. It finishes with a classic Sauvignon Blanc crispness. This wine was stainless steel fermented at low temperatures (average 45F) with the classic VL3 yeast from the Bordeaux (Graves) district in France. This yeast is known for enhancing the varietal flavors of Sauvignon Blanc specifically. The clone on Sauvignon Blanc which was responsible for this wine is the Sauvignon Musque clone of Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. A small amount of Viognier was blended into the wine to enhance the floral aspects of the aroma.

Coffee, chocolate, mint and tarragon thread through the full, jammy fruit of Guenoc’s Serpentine Meadow Reserve Petite Sirah. Richness, texture and complexity, knit into a profoundly purple black wine, leads to a finish of silk and satin. The Serpentine Petite Sirah promises longevity with proper cellaring. Only 500 cases were produced from Guenoc Valley.

Red and black cherry aromas mingle with the scent of roses in this elegant cuvée blended with cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot, cabernet franc and carmenère. Guenoc continues its Bordeaux traditions with a claret of depth and distinction, including for the first time a small percentage of carmenère, planted in Guenoc Valley in 1994, and considered to be the grandfather of the great Bordeaux varieties.
