Windy Oaks Wines

All our wines (including the white wines) are unfiltered and unfined, ensuring the purest expression of the grapes. We do not use pumps, and to preserve the subtle nuances of the wine, we use 100% gravity during harvest, crush, press, and bottling. About half of the fermentation bins are done with indigenous yeast, and we typically do not add SO2 at the crusher.

2018 Estate Pinot Noir, Special Release, Le Chaud
Product Image for 2018 Estate Pinot Noir, Special Release, Le Chaud

Using a special piece of machinery that heat treats specific rows of the vineyard in rapid motion, it decreases the number of mildew sprays and actually increases the phenolics (important flavor contributors) in the grape skins. This results in amplified aromas and black/red fruit characteristics with unusual complexity and layering.

Aged 24 months in one and two-use French oak, 87 cases

From oldest (1972&1973) Chalone appellation blocks still in production, a lovely amber-tinged garnet: highly aromatic, with hints of pot-pourri, conifer, and sandalwood. Distinctive on the palate, redolent of macerated herbs, tangerine peel and red berries, but lively and intense on the back palate and finish.

2020 Estate Pinot Noir, Proprietor's Reserve
Product Image for 2020 Estate Pinot Noir, Proprietor's Reserve

Aged 24 months in 65% new French oak, 506 cases

Sourced from the original 1996 plantings in the estate vineyard, the Reserve is a selection of the winemakers' favorite barrels in the cellar. Over the past 15 years, the senior winemaker has visited the Burgundy region of France and consulted with grand cru winemakers there, resulting in a wine that is elegant, layered and age worthy. This vintage will develop and gain with time in the cellar, but its deep and brooding personality makes it a standout, even now.
