I was very excited to visit this winery, as it just opened. This winery is surrounded by their vineyards that rise along the glorious Fountaingrove hills in Russian River Valley. The varietals grown are Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Chardonnay.
For many years Kendall Jackson Winery sourced their grapes from this vineyard. when KJ changed sources (to obtain larger lots, no doubt) the growers decide to produce there own award-winning wines.
The tasting staff who poured for me and my wife was great and very personable. We tasted a Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon all were amazing. But my favorite was the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. It had a taste of mocha and dark berries with some baking spice.
A side note: This one of the very few wineries in Sonoma County that is Asian-owned.
