McDowell's first release of Petite Sirah since we mislabeled our first Syrah as Petite Sirah back in 1979. This is a huge, rich, spicy wine with tons of fruit and pepper spice. This wine won't be released till early summer, and will only be available through our tasting room. Don't miss out on this great wine - limited availability and it will sell out fast!!

A dry, rich Rhône white wine loaded with flavors of pears and melons and honeysuckle floral aromas. Crisp fruit flavors and a luscious mouthfeel makes this a superb food wine, great with seafood, roasted chicken or Chinese food.

A beautiful, luscious Port with layers of berry fruit, vanilla oak spice, and interesting floral aromas. Modestly sweet, with a soft and classic structure from one of the finest American brandy, Germain Robin, this is a Port to enjoy now, or to cellar for future enjoyment.

At an elevation of 2200 ft. and within sight of the Pacific Ocean, the "Potato Patch" vineyard lives life on the extreme, begrudgingly yielding one ton per acre of the most extraordinary grapes. This Syrah is bold, dynamic and layered with dense fruit and spice complexity underscored with luxurious toasty vanilla oak.

Rodeo Red is a great wine to enjoy everyday, whether sipping on the deck watching the sun set, or to complement a simple steak dinner. Soft and easy drinking, with round berry flavors and a bit of black pepper spice. This red wine goes great with pizza, pasta, barbecued ribs, salmon, or simply good friends.

Double Gold Medal - Best of Show, 2004 El Dorado County Wine Competition. Gold Medal - Best of Class, North of the Gate Wine Competition - Sonoma-Marin Fair.

A huge, dense, luscious wine with layers of fruit, toasty oak and spicy complexity. Jammy, berry flavors are complemented by mineral notes, violet floral aromas, and firm tannin structure for ageability.

This "red" Grenache, is produced from Grenache Noir grapes. McDowell has always produced a Grenache Rosé that is made from our old vine fruit of Grenache Gris, a much lighter grape than the deep, dark Grenache Noir. This wine is very supple, with soft velvety tannins and flavors of cherry and a bit of spice. A very gracious wine, this wine will go well with rich seafood dishes like salmon or tuna, as well as roast pork or chicken.

A DRY, CRISP, PINK WINE bursting with strawberry and watermelon fruit flavors! Like Sushi? Like Thai food? Better than beer! Great for a barbecue on a warm spring evening, great for the holidays too. "A delicious choice for turkey dinner is dry rose. This one is juicy and fresh, bursting with cherry, watermelon, and even a touch of tart cranberry flavors." - The New York Times

A crisp, Rhône white wine with ripe, tropical fruit flavors with good balance and a lingering finish. It smells and tastes of tangerine and pineapple with a hint of honeysuckle. "Lots of smoke and butterscotch-y tapioca in the nose, and a spicy, peaches - and - cream sweetness. Drinks very fruity, with ripe peach and citrus flavors and spices, but is very dry...." - Wine Enthusiast

Western White is a fresh, fruity crisp white wine bursting with flavors of green apple, melon and citrus. This unpretentious wine is perfect for picnics, brunch, grilled seafood or spicy food. Enjoy this easy drinking white wine with friends all year round!
