Our October Library re-release is here & is extra special. In honor of Merlot month, it's only fitting to share a taste of the 2005 vintage & the first Merlot grown, vinified, + bottled by winemaker Chris Carpenter. Add a bottle to your collection at lajotavineyardco.com/wines/125th-an….

Something rare is worth protecting. Despite how beautifully Chardonnay expresses itself on Howell Mountain, there is very little of the variety planted making our 2017 W.S. Keyes Chardonnay even more special. Learn more about our inaugural vintage at lajotavineyardco.com/wines/125th-an…..

Our August Library re-release is here. 2017 marks the inaugural vintage of our La Jota W.S. Keyes Vineyard Chardonnay & first-time winemaker Chris Carpenter worked with this lustrous grape variety. Don't miss your chance to add it to your collection at lajotavineyardco.com/125.

Full-bodied and bold, our W.S. Keyes Chardonnay comes from one of the last blocks of chardonnay vines existing on Howell Mountain, which makes this wine even more special. Be sure to grab a bottle to sip on this summer. ✨ via RobbReport

This year harvest ended almost as quickly as it started. But after a string of challenging years, the return to a steady pace with Mother Nature once again on our side was refreshing. Walking into fall with a full cellar and excitement for what the 2021 harvest will become. 🍂

Couldn’t miss an opportunity to give a shout out to the best girl, Molly. If you spot our winemaker Chris Carpenter in the vineyard, chances are Molly isn’t too far behind (or more often in front) of him.

Happy #NationalDogDay , Molly— thanks for helping to protect our mountain.

This holiday season, we’ve opened our cellar to select three very special library wines. Each has aged gracefully for over 10 years and are ready to enjoy. Bring something special to your holiday table or add these rare wines to your cellar at lajotavineyardco.com/wines/library-… 🍷

Full, firm and decadently fruited— our 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the purest expressions of Howell Mountain in recent vintages. Built to age for upwards of 20 years, but irresistible on a day like #CabernetDay .
