Pinot Noir
Anderson Valley
Our second wine from this ridgetop in the renowned Anderson Valley has turned out to be a major hit. Located on the far west end of the valley this vineyard receives the fog from the nearby ocean longer than the more inland vineyards which delivers a delicate balance of perfumed aromas and bright acidity. We fermented the grapes using a technique of layering 50% whole clusters (not de-stemmed) and 50% whole berries only partially crushed, then aged the wine in French Oak barrels (50% new) for 20 months. The result is a long smooth finish, medium body, and fruity/floral aromas that will pair well with salmon, poultry , fruit, salads, or just sipping on the porch.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Yountville, Napa Valley
Ghost Block Vineyard
Nestled on a gently sloping knoll on the north edge of Yountville, Ghost Block vineyard is named in honor of the historic Pioneer Cemetery for which it borders. The organically grown vineyard is 16 acres planted to Cabernet Sauvignon.
Roney Wines seeks out unique and distinct vineyards as a source for our award winning Cabernet Sauvignon. This Ghost Block vineyard is perhaps the best we’ve ever sourced from. Owned and farmed by the Hoxsey family in Napa Ca, this vineyard expresses the pinnacle of what we expect from premium Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon. The word “cult vineyard” comes to mind when disusing the character of this location.
Comments from the winemaker
This wine expresses wonderful balance of acidity, pure fruit character, silky tannins, and aromas of red and black current, strawberry, and black cherry. The rich and round tannins add depth and sophistication with a long “travel” on your palate. It is little wonder that this wine took the coveted “Double Gold” award at the prestigious San Francisco Chronical Wine competition in 2019.
