“Powerful Plum & Black Berry Aroma, with Nuances of
Black Cherry & Clove .. A Rich Long Lived Red Wine”
"89" The Wine Spectator "92" The Wine Enthusiast
"It's a crying shame California does not get serious about Petite Sirah because this wine shows just how good it can be. It's got Cabernet's full-bodied character, Zinfandel's spicy fruit, the airy, weightless quality of a Pinot Noir, and Syrah's smoky notes. Add it up and it makes for one tasty if slightly savage wine" Steve Heimoff, The Wine Enthusiast

California Visitor Review
Feature Story

FAMILY WINERIES
BY Larry Walker

One of the great pleasures of learning about wine is finding good bottles of wine made by smaller, hands-on winemakers. These are usually family wineries, often making barely 1,000 cases a year or slightly more. To put that in context, even a mid-sized California winery produces 50,000 to 75,000 cases a year, while the real giants make over a million cases. It is no trick to find those wines. You see the labels everywhere, and of course, many larger wineries make very good wine.

But I've always had a soft spot for the little guys. Maybe because I grew up on a family farm and know the struggle and (sometimes) the heartbreak of trying to make a living with Mother Nature as your partner.

Sable Ridge Vineyards released its first wine in 1996 but is clearly on the fast track and becoming something of a cult favorite among its fans. Sable Ridge wines have twice been named Salute to the Arts Peoples' Choice Winery in the annual Sonoma celebration.
