These wines are grown in our three estate vineyards ~ Pocai, Fig Tree, and Betty's Vineyard. Crafted to be approachable and easy to drink, these crowd- pleasing wines offer unique expressions of our winery's style. They are both food-friendly and great for any occasion.
Described by our Assistant Winemaker Angela Carvalho as "Calistoga Sunshine", this wine showcases bright red fruit all day. Red apples with cherry and raspberry flavors create a vibrancy on the palate that makes this wine fruit-forward. Figs, toasted nuts, holiday spices, and mocha come forth on the finish. This is a medium-bodied red, that can be enjoyed now or rested for a few years.

Single Vineyard Wines
Each single vineyard wine is a unique and exemplary representation of the vineyard block selected. Honoring the Ballentine history, we farm several different grapes well-suited to the terroir. With three different vineyards in Napa Valley, we are able to make a diverse range of wines.
This Chenin is our most local farm-to-table wine...grown, made, and bottled within 300 yards of our winery. Bright acid and mineral notes make this release an amazing food-friendly wine. Citrus and granny smith apples race on the palate leading towards a dry finish, inviting the next sip.
This juicy wine brings red fruit to the front. Plum, raspberry, strawberry accompany lavender, red licorice, and earl grey tea. Our medium-bodied wine balances earth notes and fruit while hints of tobacco and toast come through.
A real gem from the 2016 vintage. Stunningly rich, full-bodied, with an unctuous texture, loads of crème de cassis, licorice, and subtle background oak. The wine is approachable now and will evolve over 10-15 years. This wine is soft and feminine and everlasting. The palate mirrors the nose, and the soft acidity and silky voluptuousness let the finish linger for some time.
Member exclusive wine! Dark berry and boysenberry jam coat the palate as hints of vanilla and licorice arrive. This wines generous structure and concentration lead to a legnthy and enjoyable finish.
Black cherry, blackberry, plum, and raspberry meet leather and cacao with hints of expresso expressed as the bottle opens up. This is a big, rich, complex, and robust wine.
This full-bodied wine displays raspberries, strawberries, and tart cherries. Very red fruit-driven, this wine has a large floral bouquet, herbaceous components, and black peppercorn and clove spices that add to the complexity of this wine. This wine is both restrained and elegant with velvety tannins, leading to a sweet lingering finish.

A beautiful release! A floral bouquet meets red cherry, cranberry, french plums, and a hint of white pepper. Vanilla bean and raspberry jam meet toast leading to a lengthy and impactful finish. The integrated acidity and tannin elevate this wine to a reserve level.
A beautiful savory Napa Cabernet. Decant for several hours and experience, bright cherries and raspberries, and hints of eucalyptus with licorice, tobacco, cherry compote, and cassis. The finish lingers until your next sip. This wine evolves with decanting and would pair magically with prime rib or tri-tip.
