"Intoxicating and stunningly delicious… soft and luxurious… with enormous complexity and layers that unfold with every sip. This Cabernet Sauvignon represents mastery of the arts of blending and barrel selection."
This is one of the most thrilling wines we’ve ever released—and it’s extremely limited.

"This elegantly structured blend of 73% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot unveils a deep ruby-blue core that fades into a delicate red-tinged rim. The nose is vibrant and inviting, offering layers of candied red cherries, cherry liqueur, and tangerine zest, interwoven with warm holiday spices, dried violets, and fresh rose petals. Silky, fine-grained tannins glide across the palate, supported by a moderate-plus acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lifted. Juicy red and black fruits dominate the long, lingering finish, where a hint of bitter herbs adds intrigue and balance." - Jeremy Young

"Aromas of chocolate-covered cherries and licorice waft from the glass of this broad and sumptuous high-mountain Cabernet. Flavors of kirsch, caramel, black pepper and wildflowers blossom on the palate before a long and neatly balanced finish. You could age this, but on the other hand." — Tom Capo

"This comes from the Vines and Roses Vineyard that is over 50 years old, located on Olivet Road. This is 100% Clone 23 Pinot Noir that was given 33% whole cluster fermentation. The nose is wonderfully earthy with bright red fruits that mingle well with potpourri and shades of cinnamon and cloves. The palate has a marvelous structure and sense of weight, with a gorgeous purity of red fruits. Drink 2025-2038" - Dr. Owen Bargreen

"The 2023 ‘Petaluma Gap’ comes from an undisclosed site that sees a lot of fog and cool nights. This has three different Pinot Noir clones blended in. The wine saw 50% whole cluster fermentation. This is fresh and beautifully textured stuff with a smooth mouthfeel and beautiful purity of red fruits. Fresh and evincing, enjoy now and over the next ten years. Drink 2025-2035" - Dr. Owen Bargreen

"Plum pudding, fruit cake, and warm cassis scents jump from the glass, giving way to hints of Chinese five spice, incense, dusty soil, and fallen leaves. The concentrated, full-bodied palate is chock full of fragrant baked berries flavors with a plush texture and lively backbone to balance, finishing long and layered." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

High atop Atlas Peak, at 1,700 feet in elevation, lies a rugged vineyard once carved from rock and earth by sheer determination. What began 40 years ago as raw, untamed land is now a site of distinction, neighboring the historic Stagecoach Vineyard. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines here struggle against rocky soils and the mountain climate, yielding fruit of remarkable concentration and character. Each vintage reflects both the power and grace of Atlas Peak — a true mountain Cabernet of enduring elegance.

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Hendrickson Vineyard offers classic notes of cassis, juicy plums, and cedar chest, followed by nuances of cumin seed, tar, and underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate is layered with earth-laced black fruit flavors, supported by grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on a minerally note." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
LOW INVENTORY - LAST CALL!
Petit Verdot has always captivated me with its vivid expression of the land and the wildflowers that grace its rugged slopes. Its perfume, deep and alluring, typically finds its way into our Cabernet Sauvignon blends, adding layers of breathtaking aromatics. Yet this vintage rose above the rest—a rare harmony of power and elegance—compelling us to bottle it on its own and honor the varietal’s singular beauty. Savor it alongside a hearty Hungarian beef goulash for an unforgettable pairing.

"To match its stunning dark purple-red hue, this dynamic, full-bodied offering of Petit Verdot features concentrated flavors of ripe berries, black cherry, cassis; a velvety texture; and firm structure." - Christopher Sawyer
Our Passion de la Reine Reserve Pinot Noir is especially close to our hearts. My wife, Sandy, personally selected the barrels for this wine from two of our favorite Russian River Valley vineyards. She has a soft spot for Pinot Noir with bold flavor and elegant complexity — and this wine is exactly that. Rich, expressive, and beautifully layered, it’s a Pinot that truly reflects her style.

"The brilliant 2023 En Garde ‘Passion de la Reine’ Pinot Noir is a barrel selection wine coming from the Russian River Valley (Pleasant Hill and Wines and Roses Vineyards). Juicy guava and strawberry notes mark the nose alongside shades of Yakima cherry, cloves and sandalwood accents. The palate is refined and elegant with a seamless texture. Offering glorious length and weight, enjoy this beauty now and over the next ten to fifteen years. Drink 2025-2038." - Owen Bargreen
Roma’s Vineyard is named in honor of the mother of my grower, Dean, located at the top of Anderson Valley. Dean’s remarkable past includes several decades as one of Alaska’s finest bush pilots, navigating the rugged terrain with precision and skill. However, when his wife, Suzi, grew weary of his dangerous career, they decided it was time for a change. They retired and set out to plant a first-growth Pinot Noir vineyard that would reflect the elegance and structure of Burgundy. Dean chose this site on the ridgeline, nearly 2,000 feet above sea level, because it reminded him of the soaring heights he once flew. They selected the Pommard clone for its depth, structure, and finesse—and the rest, as they say, is history. Today, Roma’s Vineyard stands as one of Anderson Valley’s most esteemed and sought-after sources for premium Pinot Noir.
"Much is made of Pinot Noir’s flavors and mouthfeel, deservedly so. But sometimes its aromatics are missed by the critics. It takes a wine like this to make you appreciate that olfactory beauty. This wine opens with a Beethovian blast of raspberries, cherries and French oak, with spicy notes reminiscent of black tea, cola, anise and cloves. These pure, clean complexities reprise in the mouth, where the savoriness is balanced by excellent acidity and firm but silky tannins. The long finish promises ageability. A really beautiful Pinot Noir of complexity and harmony, lovely to drink now, and should develop bottle complexity over the next eight years." - Steve Heimoff
The 2023 vintage kept us on our toes. A cool season on the Sonoma Coast meant long waits in the vineyard — but at En Garde, we’ve always believed patience brings out the best in Pinot Noir. When harvest finally arrived, the fruit was stunning: fresh, balanced, and full of character. This wine is elegant yet easy to enjoy, with lower alcohol and a silky finish that makes it one of the most approachable Pinots we’ve ever crafted.

"The 2023 En Garde ‘Sonoma Coast’ Pinot Noir comes from this location in the Sonoma Coast, as well as some Carneros fruit blended in. The wine was given roughly 33% whole cluster fermentation and was stored in nearly all neutral oak barrels before bottling. This comes off very pretty and nuanced with salted guava and red raspberry tones alongside orange peel notes on the palate. Drink 2025-2035." - Owen Bargreen

The lingering, savory finish is sure to leave a lasting impression that you will cherish.
Graceful and refined, our new Sparkling Cabernet Sauvignon is a modern twist on a timeless classic. Delicate bubbles lift bright notes of fresh raspberry, subtle floral undertones, and a whisper of soft spice, creating a wine that’s as refreshing as it is sophisticated. Light in body yet full of character, it’s perfect for brunch, intimate gatherings, or simply adding a touch of sparkle to any moment.
Raspberry, Blackberry, Pommegranate and Sour Cherry wine made in the centuries old ruby port tradition.
Growing up in Hungary, sour cherries were a staple in our household. They were used in both cooking and baking, celebrated for their perfect balance of sweet and sour. My grandfather had an entire orchard of them, and every year, my cousins, uncles, aunts, and I would gather the fruit together. There was so much of it that, in some years, my grandfather would craft a beautifully fruity wine from the harvest. That wine became my inspiration for creating this delightful blend of raspberries, blackberries, pomegranate, and, of course, sour cherries. To honor my heritage, I named it Magdalena, after my grandmother and mother.
