Current Wines
Our wines come from grapes grown in the rolling hills of the Cienega Valley, near the base of the Gabilan mountains. The rich fertile soil, warm sunny days, and cool maritime breezes in the evenings allow for a lengthened growing season. The result is premium grapes that are lush and flavorful. We also make wines from selected regions including a Merlot from the Carneros region and a Merlot from the Livermore valley. All wines from DeRose are known for their big and bold flavors.
If you are ordering from Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Utah, we will be unable to fulfill orders to those states due to local laws prohibiting the shipment of alcohol. We encourage you to check our list of distributors within those states for availability.
In order to ensure that your wine arrives in optimum condition, we will postpone shipping wine in any unusually hot weather. Please phone us for more information or to make other arrangements.

2008 Zinfandel (Nick DeRose vineyard)
We handcrafted this small block of Zinfandel as a tribute to Nick DeRose, who, like the wine, was bold, robust and full of life. This was Nick’s favorite vineyard. Sandy soil produces brilliant flavors of berries and cherries. These enhanced flavors derive from handpicked, carefully selected, fully mature fruit and an extended fermentation. So, in honor of Nick DeRose…Salute!
