UNCORK A PIECE OF HISTORY
While some fans sip on bourbon, wine is our drink of choice on Derby Day. To celebrate the milestone year of the 150th Kentucky Derby, we've released two special bottlings featuring the best of California's coast wine-growing regions. Blending our family's legacy of award-winning winemaking and Thoroughbred horseracing, we are thrilled to announce this year's commemorative wines: our 2022 Mendocino County Chardonnay and 2021 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon. These bottles are limited edition and will go fast. Find a bottle before May 4, 2024 at a store near you. Can't get enough Cabernet Sauvignon? Available exclusively online is our three-vintage vertical of Kentucky Derby Cabernet Sauvignon featuring the 2019, 2020, and 2021 vintages packaged in a 150th Kentucky Derby Commemorative Box.
