2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc - $28
2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Alcohol 12.8%
Sauvignon Blanc is one of the world’s most popular white wines and is the parent of Cabernet Sauvignon (the other is Cabernet Franc). The cooler 2023 vintage brought a refreshing natural acidity to this wine which will cut through fattier foods that will pair excellent with salty or spicier dishes. Picked at 22 brix to make for a light bodied and vibrant wine low in alcohol (12.8%), which also beautifully expresses the minerality of our granitic, sandy loam terroir on our Fair Play estate. The lively aromas of citrus fruits and floral nuances from acacia wood will invigorate the senses. On the palate, upfront flavors of Meyer lemon and gooseberry will be pleasing; furthermore, underlying flavors of honeydew and lime zest give way for a clean and satisfying finish.

2023 Estate Chardonnay (Stainless) - $31
2023 Estate Chardonnay (Stainless)
Alcohol 14.5%
In 2023 we harvested an abundance of our Estate-grown Chardonnay. We decided to make two different wines from what was picked – our usual Grand Chardonnay and this stainless-steel version. Unlike our Grand Chardonnay, this version is unoaked and did not go through a secondary malolactic fermentation. It was 100% fermented and stored in stainless steel before bottling. Chardonnay aged in stainless steel is crisper, fruiter, and brighter. The stainless steel does not affect flavor, so the wine retains the grape’s natural characteristics. This 2023 is aromatic and has flavors of pineapple, green apple, citrus, and pear with mineral and floral notes. It is lighter in body than our Grand Chardonnay and has slightly higher acidity. This style is an everyday white wine and is one of the most versatile with food pairings. Best served slightly chilled.
$31.00
2021 Estate Grand Chardonnay - $33
2021 Estate Grand Chardonnay
Alcohol 14.6%
Our estate grown Grand Chardonnay is barrel fermented and aged in French oak barrels, 50% new specialty toast. Made in a process inspired by an old French tradition called battonage, which greatly enhances the wines fullness and structure while giving it a plush, creamy medium/full body mouth feel. Fragrant aromas of tropical fruit and bananas overwhelm them glass while flavors of pineapple, passion fruit and vanilla with soft floral notes show an expression of our Estate Chardonnay that hasn’t been seen quite this way before. A limited batch with exceptional quality that is only seen in rare occurrences.

2021 Alicante Bouschet - $34
2021 Alicante Bouschet
Alcohol 14.8%
Lovers of rich, fruit-forward reds like Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon take note, Alicante Bouschet is quite the find! Created when a French botanist, Henri Bouschet, crossed Grenache with Petit Bouschet. It is one of the few varietals in the world that has red flesh inside the skins, also known as a teinturier grape. This wonderfully unique and concentrated wine has a deep dark color and is rich in both its aroma and palate. An aroma of wild black fruits, black olive, dark chocolate, clove, and a palate of fruit forward and smooth, black cherry, brown sugar, cinnamon spice, soft tannins on the finish.

2021 Barbera - $34
2021 Barbera
Alcohol 13.6%
$34.00
Barbera originated in Northern Italy where it is regarded as the “wine of the people.” In the early 1970’s, Barbera was first planted here in the Sierra Foothills where its ever-growing popularity speaks to its virtues and character. Today Barbera is a top variety of the region, and is often considered an “everyday red,” as its versatility and drinkability make it a perfect wine for any occasion. This 2021 is a classic expression of Barbera. Scents of clove, cinnamon, pepper, and sandalwood precede flavors of warm spice. Flavors of dark cherry and crème brûlée with underlying flavors of coconut, hazelnut and a vanilla finish with a soft mouthfeel and a lingering finish that invites another sip.

2020 Mourvedre - $34
2020 Mourvedre
Alcohol 14.5%
The Mourvèdre grape originates from Spain where it is known as Monastrell but is most well known as one of the major grapes of Rhône region along with Grenache and Syrah. We most often use Mourvèdre as a blending grape in our Midnight every year but on occasion we have enough left over to offer it as a single varietal. Each year we source our Mourvedre from the same grower, locally here in El Dorado County, at around 3000 feet in elevation and it is usually one of the last grapes harvested every year. As this Mourvedre has a longer hang-time on the vine, it produces a softer and less acidic wine that is more medium-bodied. Discover flavors of plum, blackberry and butterscotch. At the end of your palate, you’ll experience more earthy flavors of mushrooms and pepper with well-integrated tannins on the finish.

2020 Petit Petite - $34
2020 Petit Petite
Alcohol 14%
It’s back… finally! This dark inky robust wine is BIG and delicious! The palate is very complex with blackberries, a twist of deep tannins and spice with an amazing lingering soft white pepper finish. The huge structures of Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah come together for a pleasing surprise and a balanced mouthfeel. This luscious bold wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for years to come. All this needs is a nice peppery dish. We prefer a peppered beef filet or lamb chop and a dollop garlic butter.. will never disappoint!
$34.00
2022 Petit Petite - $33
2022 Petit Petite
Alcohol 13.8%
The bold structures of both Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah come together for a rich and complex wine. By marrying these two inky, robust and full-bodied wines together, we discovered something unique – the floral aromas and bolder tannins from Petit Verdot marry the fruity flavors and silky tannins of Petite Sirah. We complimented the tannins from these two varieties with a delicate and balanced touch of both French and American oak to round out the completeness of this big wine. In the Petit Verdot, we used French oak and with the petite Sirah we used American Oak, 50% combined with new barrels. Together these two wines aged in two different types of oak to create a more complex wine in the aroma and on the palate. Aromas of baking spices, dark fruits, star anise and violets. A palate of plum, chocolate, vanilla and hints of pepper that finish with smooth and round tannins.
$33.00
2021 Petite Sirah - $33
2021 Petite Sirah
Alcohol 13.9%
Petite Sirah earned its name from the small size of its berries and not from the size of the wine. Petite Sirah is one of the biggest, darkest and most tannic wines produced in California. Mostly known as a blending wine for added color and body, we offer it as a stand-alone varietal because it’s just too good not to. This 2021 is rich and full with a fruit forward palate that perfectly balances the bold tannins. Aromas of cacao and dark berries fill the glass while flavors of blackberry jam, sweet plums and dark chocolate make this wine the perfect complement to bolder dishes.

2020 Malbec
Alcohol 14.8%
This thick-skinned Bordeaux variety is known for its dark color, rich fresh fruit characteristics and is commonly used as a blending wine in other Bordeaux varietals, but we offer it as a stand alone. Malbec loves high elevation in order for it to fully achieve its acid to fruit balance, and ours is grown right here in Fair Play at 2300 ft. Known to be the fruitiest of the Bordeaux varieties, our 2020 vintage showcases our higher elevation fruit at its best. Bold fruit forward flavors of dried blueberries, ripe plums, with tertiary flavors of mocha and molasses and hints of vanilla and cocoa from French Oak on the finish.

2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon French Oak - $35
2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon French Oak
Alcohol 15.5%
Our American Oak Estate Cabernet Sauvignon style is unique. We aged this limited batch in special American oak barrels to show how
American oak steers the flavors and aromas of a wine in a much
different direction than French oak does. American oak tends to be more potent, giving a perception of sweetness to a wine with a
creamier texture. Made in the same batch, aged in different oak, this rendition is meant to be paired side by side with that of its French oak aged counterpart. Discover similar flavors of black cherry and
blackberry but with a richer, almost sweeter finish. Additional flavors of prunes, black currants, marshmallow, baking spice and a hint of white pepper.$35.00
2020 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon French Oak - $34
2020 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon French Oak
Alcohol 14.2%
Our Estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon is old-vine and was planted over 42 years ago. The deeply rooted and vigorous vines produce small berries with thick skins which make for a deeply concentrated wine packed with intense flavor and beautiful, bold color. This vintage was aged in specialty French oak which brings complexity, structure, and finesse to this wine. Aromas of black fruit, violets and star anise will fill the glass. A palate of black cherry, blackberry and hints of black pepper show beautifully up front. Tertiary flavors of vanilla and baking spice make for a silky and textural finish from the French oak. Smooth tannins glide over the palate perfectly complimenting the refreshing balanced acidity.

What a big wine from such a tiny grape! This 2020 vintage is amazing. It has nothing but plums and red cherry all day in the nose, with a depth of flavor that is hard to describe; kind of earthy and fruity and oaky with a long finish. This wine will make some purple smiles for sure.

2019 Shady Lady ~ Primitivo - $37
2019 “Shady Lady” ~ Primitivo
Alcohol 15%
Sierra Foothills
Terroir driven. Expressive. Fragrant. Elegant. One word sentences with this wine. Why over think it? “Shady Lady” Primitivo has for a long time been all of these descriptors and then some. Maybe we are a bit bias, but we aren’t the only ones. We just love Primitivo, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Aromas of boysenberry, cedar wood and mocha show through first in a diverse multi-layered complex. Ever evolving flavors show fourth on the palate. Pomegranate, red currant and clove are woven within… Further discoveries are made with each swirl of the glass. And yet one thought keeps coming to mind when trying to describe such a complex wine as this, “Why over think it?”
$37.00
2021 Zinfandel - $32
2021 Zinfandel
Alcohol 14.9%
Zinfandel is widely touted as, “America’s grape,” but it actually prevails from Croatia, as it was first brought to California by early settlers. It also happens to be a Windwalker classic, and this 2021 vintage is adventurous and sure to impress. Our take on this varietal has always been a fruit forward-yet-bold style that has been loved for its always pleasing red fruit flavors and exotic spiciness. This 2021 vintage has a rich berry and spice profile with elegant aromatics that are rounded out by a smooth and lingering finish. The amazing harmony of flavors will make you thirst for more.

It is red fruit driven with an exceptionally soft mouthfeel. Tertiary flavors of mocha and caramel delicately round out the pepper and sweet spice on the finish.

Midnight Lot 15 - $35
Midnight Lot 15
Alcohol 14.6%
L-15 marks fifteen years of Midnight. A question often asked is, “why a lot number and not a vintage?” To answer this, we go back to lot number 1. By federal law wineries cannot back blend two different vintages by more than 15%, and lot 1 was a blend of two different vintages, consequently it got its designation as a lot number instead of a vintage year. Every year afterwards we kept the lot number designation regardless whether or not it was a single vintage or not. ALWAYS a blend of 50% select rich and dark Old Vine Zinfandel, 25% Petite Sirah and 25% Mourvèdre, consider it an Old Vine Zinfandel on steroids. This Midnight is very complex and well rounded. A bouquet of elegant aromas; black currant, cedar and exotic spices. A complex and well-rounded variety of flavors; roasted plums, blackberries, dark chocolate and vanilla with a sweet cinnamon spice on the finish.

Foxy is a complex wine with a beautiful ruby color and a palate of intense cherry and spice from specialty French oak barrels. The palate is blackberry jam with light tannins and a sweet and smooth finish. This wine is always a Windwalker favorite!

2021 Reserve Sangiovese - $42
2021 Reserve Sangiovese
Alcohol 14.5%
Awarded Best of Region Red Wine, Double Gold, 99 Points at the 2024 California State Fair Wine Competition. (Only 18 Best of Region Awards given in all of California.)
Sangiovese is the wine that most wine critics cite to be the very best in all of Italy. To go a step further, the clone of Sangiovese that most agree to be the best in all of Italy is Brunello, hailing from Montalcino which is a region in Southern Tuscany. This is where Brunello di Montalcino is made, consisting of 100% Brunello (aka Sangiovese Grosso). It is a DOCG, (a classification given to only the best wines Italy can offer) and is sold around the world as some of the most sought after and most expensive of all the wines from Italy. In 2021, we acquired Brunello grapes here in El Dorado County planted from cuttings that originated from Tuscany, and we made this 100% “Brunello clone” Sangiovese to honor the traditions of Brunello di Montalcino wine. We cannot call this wine “Brunello” as Italy forbids anyone outside of Montalcino to do so, instead we named it Sangiovese Reserve. Brunello is noted for having thicker-skinned berries, and because of this, it produces wines with exceptionally bold fruit flavors and ageability. Our 2021 has aromas of dried rose potpourri,fig, and brown spice; on the palate there’s elegant flavors of red cherry, prune, and hazelnut with silky-smooth tannins on the finish.

Ruby Port Non-Vintage 375 mL- $25.00
Ruby Port Non-vintage
Alcohol 17.5%
Our Non-vintage Ruby Port is a favorite among Port wine drinkers. Our Ruby Port is made with the six traditional Portuguese port grapes: Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo), Tinta Cao, Touriga Nacional, Trousseau (aka Bastardo), Touriga Franca, and Tinta Amarela. Most of the component lots are aged a minimum of 10 years, with some lots dating back to the early 90’s. Careful blending guarantees consistency from bottling to bottling. We keep our sugar lower than the average port (around 5% versus 8% traditionally), and the alcohol is not excessive either, hovering around the 18% range. Great with dark chocolate, stinky cheese and dried fruits.

2005 Vintage Port 375 mL- $38.00
2005 Vintage Port
Alcohol 18.4%
Sometimes Mother Nature provides us with an amazing port year, and we keep a barrel or two separate for our vintage bottling. The 2005 was one of these years. We also really liked the oak influence on this particular bottling. Soft and velvety, this port has many layers of flavors. We hope you like the complexity of this port, and agree that it is a world class contender.
$38.00
NV Tinto Cão Port 750 mL - $40.00
NV Tinto Cão Port 750 mL
Alcohol 19.5%
Another Portuguese grape, Tinto Cao lends itself perfectly for port. This bottling highlights the deep color and bright fruit character of this grape. We kept it tucked away in the back of our barrel room for over 6 years to intensify the flavors. Again, like our other ports, we keep the sugar to a minimum to highlight the qualities of the vineyard. We like this port in the evening, after dinner is done, and the stars are out. Take time to savor the aromas before sipping and talking the night away with your close friends and family.

NV Trousseau Port 750 mL - $40.00
NV Trousseau Port 750 mL
Alcohol 19.5%
Also known lovingly as “Bastardo” due to the difficulty in farming it, this Portuguese native makes some killer ports. We produce ours in a more tawny style, by aging it for multiple years in French oak. The resulting wine is light in color with nutty and baked fruit aromas, and a nice red cherry note to the flavor. We also keep our ports quite a bit lower in sugar than most, to maintain the fruit instead being syrupy. This Trousseau pairs well with blue cheese and of course dark chocolate.
