The Wines
Monroy Wines is a fresh face to the small-batch scene. Combining techniques learned from top Napa Valley cabernet houses and Russian River pinot noir estates, Monroy Wines creates classically-styled cabernet sauvignon of elegance, subtlety, and finesse. Our wine is now sold at select retailers, see the list of locations.
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Kick Ranch Vineyard, Sonoma County
Deeply perfumed, darkly pigmented, and floral, the wine opens with rose petals, violets and cedar, with touches of lavender, pomegranate, and black olive tapenade framed in a subtle background of oak spice. On the palate the wine is tense and complex with balanced red fruit sweetness and sublimely plush fine tannins from barrel fermentation. Our style of winemaking tends towards vibrant elegance, giving a wide range of versatility in food pairings. Our favorite pairing is a varied charcuterie board, augmented with butcher’s sausage, skirt steak, and pork rillette.

2023 Sauvignon Blanc, Kick Ranch Vineyard, Sonoma County
The aromatics on this wine are exuberant and expressive - fresh-cut flowers, guava, green tropical fruits and sweet citrus zest, with a wisp of oak spice influence. The palate is vibrant and nervy with a rich, generous texture, exceptional longevity, and slight trace of citrus pith on the fade. Expect additional volume, complexity, and amplitude with some bottle age. This sauvignon blanc will show well as an aperitif wine with charcuterie, lighter vegetable risotto or legume plates, and as a palate cleanser before dessert courses.
