FIRST TASTE OF FALL 2 PACK

As the weather turns, these two belong at your table—or by the fire.

2023 Mendocino Ridge Chardonnay
High on Mendocino Ridge, at 2,400 feet, Mariah Vineyard faces the wind and takes it well. Dry-farmed vines set small fruit and give the wine its nerve. The coast sends fog in the morning and a hard, clean light by afternoon. You taste salt on the edge, stone through the middle, and a line of lemon that doesn’t bend. It is precise, cool, and steady—built for the long meal.

2024 Mendocino Red Blend
Zinfandel and Carignan from old Redwood Valley rows. Blue fruit, a little spice, tannins smoothed by time and air. It’s warm without shouting and sits right with stew, roast chicken, or a wedge of cheese by the fire. Pour it on a cold night and let it work.
