Cedarville Vineyard 2009 Estate Bottled Grenache (El Dorado)
- Cellar Selection
- $25
A tremendous Grenache from the Foothills, estate grown from Beaucastel budwood and let to develop slowly, this wine has acres to go before it sleeps. Still superdense and dark with fruity plum and anise predominating, it’ll grow old with tenderness and grace.

Cedarville Vineyard 2009 Turnabout’s Red (Fair Play)
- Online Exclusive
- $39
Cedarville’s ode to Priorat, this is a mix of 45% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. The three get along swimmingly, amusingly mixing into a triad of dark blackberry, dark licorice and dark chocolate. The rich texture is on the mark, and the wine provides just the right heft for any spicy, brawny meal.

Cedarville Vineyard 2010 Estate Bottled and Grown Viognier (El Dorado)
- $20
A beautifully floral Viognier, its aromas tenderly inviting, with uplifting hints of apricot, pear and white fig. It’s a deftly made white with lovely minerality and a fleshy mouthfeel all wrapped up in the end with a light touch of lemon.

Cedarville Vineyard 2007 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (El Dorado)
- $29
Cedarville takes a lot of pride in its Cab, and this definitely screams mightily of its mountain, granite-soiled origins, with a rich mouthfeel and rocky minerality. Fully fruity, though restrained, this Cab has plenty of leathery plushness in the midpalate ending with a finale of dense, dark chocolate.

Cedarville Vineyard 2009 Estate Bottled Syrah (El Dorado)
- Cellar Selection
- $25
Savage and smelling of earth, this estate-grown and -bottled Syrah from husband and wife team Jonathan Lachs and Susan Marks is rightly mountainous, with a wall of tannin, still thick and tight but teeming with potential. Lay it down and let that wall melt into fruit and spicy earth.

Cedarville Vineyard 2009 Naylor Vineyard Petite Sirah (El Dorado)
- $27
A hugely purple Petite with layers of black pepper, bacon fat, cedar and earth. It’s chewy and inky but in balance; its tannin structure is as thick as walls yet the wine’s stewy plum goodness goes down easy.

Cedarville Vineyard 2009 Estate Zinfandel (El Dorado)
- $22
Cedarville is loved for its Syrah and Grenache but it can expertly handle its estate Zinfandel too—grown at 2,500-foot elevation—This smoky, raspberry-wrapped, silky wine is full of big, round mountain tannins yet somehow manages to be light on its feet on the finish. Have it with sticky ribs.

Cedarville Vineyard 2002 Estate Syrah (El Dorado)
- $25
A bit funky on the nose, with hints of game and dried herbs alongside pepper, plum and coffee aromas. The mouthfeel is smooth and medium-weight, while the finish turns tannic and a bit rustic. Solid Foothills Syrah.
