We are so excited!!! Our first vintage got 90pts in Wine Enthusiast, right out of the gates.  Here’s what they had to say;

“Knights Valley, an inland Sonoma County region, is not well known, but is home to some impressive Cabernets.  This one, a first release, shows enormous promise.  It’s made in the modern style, slightly soft but richly textured, with ripe currant, cherry, chocolate and new oak flavors that are grounded with an earthy note of olives and herbs.  This is a winery to keep an eye on.” - SH Wine Enthusiast August 2008

Stay tuned for more news from us…….

Bavarian Lion Vineyards is the exclusive supplier of grapes to the Ehret Family Winery. So here is a seasonal update of Bavarian Lion Vineyards, that will point to the quality of grapes it will supply to the Ehret Family Winery.

All the buds have been breaking out of all varieties given the warm weather we currently have in Northern California.

The nights have been rather cool, and during several early mornings the freshly flowered butts had to be frost protected. There is always great danger here that the butts will be damaged in those severe weather conditions, but until now Vyborny Vinyard Mgmt has done an excellent job in frost protecting everything. The bright side of the frost is that it continues to kill all bugs, which will be eventually good for the vines. Rainfall is needed so and would do the vineyards good.

But as of now everything is growing and popping up beautifully.

We are looking forward to an excellent harvest with great grape quality, the most important ingredient for the Ehret Family Winery.

Greetings and welcome. Ehret Family Winery is our dream of making wine from our estate Bavarian Lion Vineyards in Knight’s Valley (in Sonoma County) under our own label. For years we have sold our fruit to some of the finest wineries, and who have, year after year, made exceptional wines from our grapes. Along with our consulting winemaker, Nick Goldschmidt, we are releasing our inaugural wine from the 2005 vintage, and will follow up with more from the 2006 soon after.

This section is for just such news, plus notice of events we’re attending or hosting. We hope you sign our Guest Book, join our email list, and will enjoy the wines of Ehret Family Winery!
