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,
Sourced from High Valley in Lake County, the Brassfield Sauvignon Blanc vineyard is north of Napa at 1,800 feet above sea-level. It is one of the coolest sites in Lake County and helps the wines obtain nervier acidities. As for the winemaking: whole-cluster fermentation, no malolactic and a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels for fermentation, it’s then aged for two months on lees, in a mix of neutral oak, stainless steel and concrete egg. The resultant wine is almost Loire in style – fresh and chalky with a citrus core.

2015 Sidebar, Red Field Blend, Russian River Valley, California, USA
Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,
This wine comes from the Alegria vineyard (in Sonoma County’s Russian River. Certified sustainable, the site has complex alluvial, gravelly loam, marine and volcanic soils. The gnarly head-trained vines range from 60 to 125 years old. The field blend is mostly Zinfandel (80 percent) with Alicante Bouschet, Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, Carignan, Trousseau, Petite Bouschet, Syrah, Beclan, Tannat, Peloursin, Graciano, Plavac Mali, Palomino, Monbadon. This undergoes a 20-day ferment and maceration before being aged in neutral oak barrels for 14 months. The resultant wine has dark, red-berried fruit with spiciness. The palate has voluptuous but structured tannins, with great freshness at its core.

At 13% this wine is restrained in its approach, despite its dark inky colour . Violets, pepper, licorice, herbal aromatics and wild flowers can all be found in the glass. Savoury, tight knit tannin structure with a silky texture and lightness of touch.

2015 Sidebar, Ritchie Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Russian River Valley, USA
Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,
This Sauvignon comes from the well-known Ritchie vineyard. In the Russian River (Sonoma County), the site is a mix of sandy loam and volcanic soil with vines planted in 1972. After whole-cluster pressing, the juice is fermented in concrete eggs and spends eight months on lees, with some aged in neutral barre. It has an attractive phenolic grip with intense grapefruit, a herbal note and a mineral attack.

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.

Ridge Vineyards, Ready, but will improve,
April rains disrupted flowering and reduced yields, but gave the vines enough water to survive a third year of drought. Mild temper-atures in August proved ideal for ripening. The thirty-four parcels were fermented separately; we combined the twenty-five that best expressed the vineyard’s distinctive character. Thirteen months in barrel has softened tannins and added complexity. Enjoyable in its youth, this fine wine will evolve over the next ten years to 2026.

2014 Ramey, Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California
Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,
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.

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.

This is a lovely introduction to Lingua Franca’s reds. With lots of bright cherry and cranberry, it’s very lifted. It’s recognisably Oregon, but the winemaking ethos of Burgundian restraint shows as well. Drink this straight off the boat and over the next couple of years (to 2020).

2013 Ramey Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, California
Ramey Wine Cellars, Ready, but will keep,
“Forty-four pounds,” I hear you cry, “the price of good Burgundy?!” Yes, Ramey doesn’t do cheap. But their wines are worth every penny. This, their entry-level Chardonnay, comes from cooler Sonoma, offering a leaner style in comparison to their other cuvées. Bright acidity is balanced by a generous intensity of apple, pear and citrus fruit. With a flinty edge, this is perfectly poised between New World richness and Old World elegance.

Ridge Vineyards, Drink now,
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.
