Sonoma County

Learn more about Sonoma County

North Coast's Sonoma County is California's largest AVA with 19,800 ha (2005) of vines. It has forever been the home of the meek and mild small grower as compared to the grandeur and might of neighbour Napa; more picturesque too, as much of the sandy, gravely loam land belonged to true orchards and fruit farms until the 1970s.

Sonoma Valley covers a small part of Sonoma County but its wines often outshine its illustrious neighbours in Napa County. Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon are cultivated here with much success. Sonoma Valley has long enjoyed a special place in the history of California wine. The first vineyards in the valley were planted by Franciscan monks in 1823. In 1857 Agoston Haraszthy, one of the founding fathers of California's commercial winemaking, opened here the highly successful Buena Vista Winery.

Closer to the coast are the region's top producing AVAs for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay: Russian River, Sonoma Coast and Green Valley, while the slightly warmer Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys have earned a reputation as a hotspot for Cabernet, and increasingly, Zinfandel and Merlot.

Recommended producers
Ridge, Teira, Williams & Selyem, Rochioli are definitely worth investigating.

2015 Sidebar, Sauvignon Blanc, High Valley, California, USA

2015 Sidebar, Sauvignon Blanc, High Valley, California, USA
Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,
From a vineyard located north of Napa at 1,800ft elevation, this is one of the coolest sites in Lake county which helps the wines obtain a really “nervy” acidity. The fermentation is done in a mixture of stainless steel and oak barrels and whole clusters are used. It is then aged for two months on lees in a mixture of neutral oak, stainless steel and a concrete egg. This is reminiscent of a Loire Sauvignon Blanc, with a fresh, chalky and citrus core.

Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,
From the Alegria vineyard, which is certified sustainable and has complex soils (alluvial, gravelly loam, marine and volcanic). The gnarly, head-trained vines are between 60- and 125-years-old. The blend is majority Zinfandel (80 percent); it undergoes a 20-day ferment and maceration before being aged in neutral oak barrels for 14 months. To taste, this has dark red-berried fruit with spice; this is voluptuous but with structured tannins and great freshness on the core.

2015 Sidebar, Ritchie Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Russian River Valley, USA
Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,
The fruit comes from plantings in Sonoma County’s well-known Ritchie vineyard, which is a mix of sandy loam and volcanic soil. Here, whole clusters are pressed before undergoing fermentation in concrete eggs. The wine is left on lees for eight months with some ageing in-barrel. This has an attractive phenolic grip with an intense grapefruit and herbal note and a mineral “attack”.

The fruit comes from a mixture of premium vineyard sites within Russian River. This wine spent 12 months in just over 10% new French oak which gives the wine a richness and spice notes. Ripe stonefruit, jasmine and toasty aromas are balanced with a juicy acidity and a denisty and weight on the palate.

Ridge Vineyards, Ready, but will improve,
Sourced from Dry Creek Valley this cuvee is made up of 74% Zinfandel, 16% Petite Sirah, 8% Carignane, 2% Mataro. There is a richness and concentration that showcases itself on the aromatic and textural components of this wine. Rich red berried fruits and spice are supported by a silky density on the core with round but pronounced tannins and a refreshing juicy acid profile. Wild strawberries and pepper continue rather attractively on the length.

The 14.5% alcohol is incredibly well integrated with a blend of 70% Zinfandel, 15% Carignane, 12% Petite Sirah, 3% Alicante Bouschet. An excellent 50th Geyserville vintage! The aromatic profile is incredibly intense with notes of brambles fruits, spice, licorice and cedar are supported by a richness on the palate but with a distinct vibrancy and balance from the acidity and integrated tannins.

2015 Lingua Franca, Avni Chardonnay, Willamette Valley, Oregon
Lingua Franca, Ready, but will keep,
The grapes originate from a combination of vineyards within the Willamette Valley region, that includes Salem's Bunker Hill, Dundee's Durand, Yamhill-Carlton, Laubejac (Montmouth) in a mixture of Nekia (volcanic) and Willakenzie (marine, sedimentary) soils. The grapes are picked early to obtain maximum freshness and tension in the wine (aiming for lower alcohol). The grapes are whole-cluster pressed and allowed to settle for 24 hours before being transferred to a combination of 20 percent new 600-litre casks and 80 percent old French barriques, from various coopers, and are left on fine lees for 10 months. The wines are moved to tank (still on their fine lees) for four months prior to bottling.

The 2011 Proprietary Red Geyserville (78% Zinfandel, 16% Carignan and the rest Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouchet and Mataro; 14% alcohol) was made from grapes harvested between September 21 and October 3. It reveals more stuffing than the Zinfandels as well as attractive earthy, briery, spicy fruit, pepper, meat and black cherry fruit. While it is not one of the legendary Geyserville efforts, it is a competent red wine to enjoy over the next 5-7 years: 2013 -2020

2014 Ramey, Woolsey Road Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, California
Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,
Richer than the 2012 but with the same orange blossom fragrance that seems to be the hallmark of this exceptional site. 19 months in French oak (26% new) adds creaminess to the fruit power. Hugely impressive considering the vines are quite young – you can see why David Ramey really rates this site. I’d give this a couple of years in the cellar to shed some of the youthful exuberance. I’ve been a follower of David’s wines for a number of years and the latest releases are right at the top of the tree. Drink 2019 to 2025+.

Verite Winery, Ready, but will keep,
How much fun collectors will have comparing the 2007 and 2008 La Joies over the next three decades. A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec (48% from Alexander Valley Mountain Estate, 34% from Chalk Hill and 18% from Knight’s Valley), the 2008 has similar technical numbers to the 2007 (a pH of 3.68 and 14.4% alcohol). Wonderful notes of roasted herbs, asphalt, black truffles, blackberries, cassis, camphor and subtle oak are present in the majestic aromatics. In the mouth, the wine is extraordinarily concentrated, pure and dense with amazing length. It is another 30-40 year wine that confirms the confidence the late Jess Jackson had in both his vineyard sources and his winemaker, Pierre Seillan.  99 points.

A blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec (52% Chalk Hill, 45% Alexander Mountain Estate and 3% Bennett Valley fruit), the 2008 may have even greater intensity and richness than the 2007. Still young and unformed, it exhibits phenomenal richness and equilibrium as well as a finish that lasts nearly a minute. Its dense plum/purple color is accompanied by notions of black fruits, forest floor, truffles and spring flowers. It should age for 25-30+ years. 100 points.

Verite Winery, Ready, but will keep,
The fruit for this blend of 61% Cabernet Franc, 31% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec came from Chalk Hill (58%) and Alexander Valley (42%). Pierre Seillan believes the Chalk Hill fruit provides a truffle-like character and the Alexander Valley gives minerality, structure, tannin and intensity. The 2008 will be fascinating to taste next to the 2007 over the next 30+ years. Sweet mulberry, blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with notions of black truffles, damp earth and forest floor emerge from this beauty of stunning intensity, purity and texture. The alcohol is 14.4% and the relatively elevated pH is 3.76. 100 points.

A mild winter brought February bud-break. Though there was some rainfall, the drought continued a third year, and warm summer weather prompted a fast-paced harvest. Twenty-six fermented lots were blind tasted for as¬semblage. Zinfandel yields were low, giving carignane and petite sirah greater prominence. Sensuous flavors support a rich tannin structure. This superb vintage will be enjoyable over the next 7-8 years.

Chateau Beaux Hauts, Drink now,
A fascinating find- a 100% Meunier, American sparkling wine, that had 17years on lees. The rich truffley character is typical of mature Pinot-based sparkling wines, with the light citrus and touch of red berried fruit suggesting Meunier over Pinot Noir. One might mistake this for Champagne, but the soft, supple acidity takes you to warmer climes. The powerful truffle note continues on the palate alongside toasty, yeasty notes. An interesting aperitif, but I think even better paired with aged cheeses such as Parmesan, Comté, Gouda or for a real mushroom hit- risotto with truffle shavings.

Tasted from tank just prior to bottling, the 2013 La Joie is dense, powerful and rich, with notable depth. Still remarkable embryonic the 2013 remains deep, fruit driven and backward. This is a wine for the long haul. Crème de cassis, blackberry jam, spice, menthol, game, licorice and smoke flow through to the powerful, incisive finish. This is a strong showing.

Verite Winery, For laying down,
The 2013 La Muse is wonderfully vivid and expressive from the outset, especially in the aromatics. Graphite, smoke, lavender, menthol and licorice are all super-expressive. Those notes carry through to the palate, where the wine is dense, powerful and bursting at the seams with energy. Hints of mocha, chocolate, spice and leather add the final shades of nuance. Today, La Muse is the most expressive of Vérité's 2013s, with plenty of floral and savory notes that add complexity to the super-rich dark fruit. I tasted the 2013 from tank just prior to bottling.

The 2013 Le Désir is once again alluring. Le Désir is quite powerful and intense, but it also has fairly soft contours for the year. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, chocolate, mocha, licorice and cloves are all pushed forward. Energetic and explosive, the 2013 is going to need at least a few years in bottle to settle down, but it has plenty to offer. I tasted the 2013 from tank just prior to bottling.
