Trattore Farms Estate, Dry Creek Valley
New Release!
Our 2021 Estate mR is a harmonious blend that honors the ancient Marsanne-Roussanne tradition, now reimagined on our Dry Creek Valley estate. This wine artfully combines the rich stone fruit notes of Roussanne with the tropical nuances and enticing mouthfeel of Marsanne. The result is a wine that transcends seasons, offering a diverse palette of flavors. Its unique profile is a testament to our vineyard’s distinct microclimate and terroir, melding historical winemaking artistry with our estate’s bold, New World expressions. This is a wine that not only celebrates its roots but also the unique character of its origin – a true reflection of time-honored tradition and contemporary craftsmanship.
The citrus notes make this wine delicious with Thai cuisines (yellow, red, green) and Pad Thai along with Chinese food (beef in black bean sauce, egg fried rice, spring rolls and crispy shredded duck pancakes). We would be remiss if we did not mention Indian curries as well!Â

2021 Estate Roussanne
Trattore Farms Estate, Dry Creek Valley
New Release!
Our eastern-facing Roussanne vines are nestled in stone-strewn soils on steep terrain that thrive in our warm Mediterranean days and ocean-influenced cool nights. The resulting wine showcases this beautiful Dry Creek Valley profile that makes us feel blessed to call this area home. Roussanne offers a unique flavor profile that is delicious with food. The aromas of honey, apricot and pear are bright and provide a rich, full-bodied texture. The wine’s vibrant acidity is refreshing and lively, balancing its richness. Roussanne ages well, which sets it apart from other white wines. As it matures, it develops even more complexity, opening up layers of the flavors and aromas of toasted nuts and spices.
We love this wine with cream sauces, hard cheeses, shellfish, lobster, crab with lemon and butter, spicy Asian cuisine, and lemon tart.

2021 Estate Mourvèdre
Trattore Farms Estate, Dry Creek Valley
New Release!
Mourvèdre has been growing on our estate for over ten years. It ripens patiently and is often our longest-hanging fruit of the vintage. This wine is unlike any other we produce, with rustic yet stunning aromatics of sweet pipe tobacco, ripe strawberry and rich coffee. Take in flavors of cinnamon, clove, and silky cocoa, leading to a long, soft finish of cassis and violets. It is hard to express how spectacular this wine truly is, and we know you’ll enjoy it as much as we do!
Pair Mourvèdre with red and smoked meats, game, BBQ short ribs, and rich vegetables such as a mix of mushrooms sautéed in butter and garlic served with mashed sweet potatoes.

2021 Estate Stone Soup
Estate, Dry Creek Valley
A wine that needs no introduction, our Estate Stone Soup combines our red grape varietals grown in the rockiest of soils on our estate. We harvest these grapes, hand-sort, and meticulously blend them to create a truly beautiful and enchanting wine. Stone Soup was the perfect name for this luscious red wine, given the stone-strewn soils from which it came.
Our Stone Soup release is always an exciting one! This vintage combines Zinfandel, Grenache, Petite Sirah and Syrah and carefully balances each to make an incredibly sophisticated wine. The aromatics boast ripe blackberry, boysenberry, and black pepper with a pronounced oak, vanilla, and toast profile. The flavors exude big blackberry, black currant, chocolate, and spice. This is an earthy, luscious wine on the finish with notable tannins to balance this big, fruit-forward style.
We love Stone Soup with tomato-based hearty stews, sweet potato pie, mac and cheese, meaty pasta dishes and charcuterie and cheese boards.

2020 Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley
The Beckstoffer family has grown grapes in Northern California for over half a century. The Cabernet grapes, grown in the renowned Rutherford appellation of Napa Valley, are farmed with land conservation in mind and a commitment to agricultural sensitivity. This sensorial, refined Cabernet Sauvignon boasts strong aromatics and a sustaining finish and is a perfect wine for any occasion.
The wine’s soft tannins allow it to pair exquisitely with semi-firm cow’s milk cheeses, such as aged cheddars, aged gouda, sheep’s milk cheeses, and Comté. It’s a perfect match with steak, lamb, duck, mushroom cream sauces, and a juicy hamburger. Think of foods that are richer and fattier. Heavier foods tend to pair better than lighter foods when it comes to this wine.
