About Ringtail Wines

Wines that Start with the Finest of Fruits!

Our wines have rich, deep flavors inherent in producing small yields meticulously grown and harvested from our estate crops. It is our passion to create and share the highest quality wines. Here is our latest selection of wines.

Gewurztraminer

We are one of the few vineyards in our region growing this varietal and our first crop became a favorite wine among both red and white wine drinkers. Our Gewurztraminer is a crisp, semi-dry wine with a light sweetness and a spicy, floral aroma. The apple and citrus flavors dance across the tongue leaving a distinct spicy finish. This wine is an unmatched pair for light meats, seafood and white pasta sauces.

Petite Sirah

Our nutrient-rich volcanic soils provide a superior growing environment for the Petite Sirah grape. We've developed from these succulent fruits a silk-textured wine with high notes of pepper and allspice and a long finish of well developed black currant and coffee. This Petite Sirah enlivens the palate with prevalent fruity tannins and is an excellent pairing for red meats and spicy ethnic dishes. It is also delightful with dry cheeses and dark chocolates.

Petite Sirah Dessert Wine

This sweet wine, similar to a Port, was created from our Petite Sirah varietal and has been fortified for higher alcohol content. This wine is prevalent with chocolate and raspberries and a smooth finish with coffee undertones. Our Petite Dessert Wine pairs wonderfully with sweet desserts, chocolates and spice cakes.

Chardonnay Viognier

This elegant wine is our newest addition to the Ringtail varietals. We blended a Chardonnay that exudes flavors of green apple with accents of vanilla, caramel and toast (from the oak barrels) with the deep, rich, exotic mix of fruit from the Viognier. This blend created a perfect balance of crisp, citrus flavors with just the right touch of oak to give a subtle butterscotch and toast flavor. Our Chardonnay Viognier pairs with both rich and light entrees and desserts.

Late Harvest Chardonnay

The Ringtail has a tail to tell of the grapes that were grown in 2008. The weather changed to harsh conditions this year and not many grapes grew. We picked and we picked by the light of the moon all the grapes we could salvage. From these crops, our winemaker created a delicate, sweet wine - similar to a cognac - full of pear and nectarine flavors with a finish of butterscotch from the oak barrels. This wine is delightful with fruit tarts, dark chocolates or drizzled over a good vanilla ice cream!
