Since 1991, Crimson Wine Group has carefully assembled a portfolio of strong, highly differentiated luxury wine brands. These wineries and vineyards represent the finest of their respective appellations in California and Washington.
Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier 2023, Napa Valley, CA — Founded in 1978, Pine Ridge Vineyards sits in the heart of the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, famous for Cabernet Sauvignon wines of distinctive power and elegance. The winery owns estate vineyards in five premier Napa Valley appellations: Stags Leap District, Howell Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, and Carneros. This white blend was crafted in 1995 as an experiment; since then, it has become one of the winery’s most beloved and popular wines. It is a unique marriage of two varietals that would never share the same bottle in their native France. The crisp, honeyed fruit of Chenin Blanc unites with the plush body and juicy stone fruit notes of Viognier, for a wine that is both sophisticated and easy to enjoy. 12% ABV. $17.99/6
Seven Hills Walla Walla Merlot 2022, Walla Walla Valley, WA — When Seven Hills Winery was established in 1988, it was one of only five wineries in the region. As a founding vintner, Casey McClellan helped shape the varietal focus and development of the appellation by forming relationships with top growers in the Northwest and cultivating an understanding of each vineyard’s character. Through this focused approach and following decades of careful study, Seven Hills Winery crafts well-thought-out Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines. Ruby in color with pronounced aromatics of red cherries, marionberry, and dried cranberries with hints of star anise, cigar box, and mocha. Medium body with elegant texture supported by balanced acid and fine medium tannins providing flavors of red cherries, raspberries, and earth with hints of mocha and baking spice. Rating: 91, James Suckling. 13.4% ABV. $26.99/9
Seghesio Zinfandel 2021, Sonoma County, CA — Established in 1895, Seghesio Family Vineyards produces benchmark Zinfandels that honor five generations of wine-growing leadership. Seghesio Family Vineyards encompasses more than 300 acres of estate vineyards in the Alexander, Dry Creek, and Russian River Valleys with a significant amount of Old Vine plantings that are 50-125 years old. Intense aromatics of currant and plum are complemented by savory notes of black olive, anise and allspice. A bright entry of briary black raspberry gives way to a bold palate of supple, lively tannins and a powerful, lingering finish. Blend: 83% Zinfandel, 10% Petite Sirah, 3% Alicante, 4% Mixed Reds. Rating: 92, Wine Spectator. 15% ABV. $28.99/9.50
