Betty's Vineyard
This Chenin is our most local farm to table wine...grown, made and bottled within 300 yards of our winery. Refreshing tropical notes of guava and passionfruit are followed by bright citrus and a nutty finish.Our favorite for oysters, seafood, and salads.
Betty Ballentine's notes, “Delicious. Nice and fresh.”

Betty's Vineyard
A perfect brunch wine! There is a slight effervescence to the palate and fair amount of sweetness, but the profile is light, airy and refreshing.
Estate Wine
Last year, this wine was voted a Smart Buy by Wine Spectator. When crafting this wine, we look for flavors of blueberry and raspberry syrup in the Zinfandel grapes to indicate ripeness. This vintage is exceptionally floral and jammy with classic flavors of black cherry, clove, and fresh rose petals. It is simply delicious.

Betty's Vineyard
This Chenin is our most local farm to table wine...grown, made and bottled within 300 yards of our winery. Bright tropical notes of mango and pineapple mesh well with lemon curd and honeydew melon. Wonderful acidity is highlighted with green apple and mineral notes.
For the best pairing this summer, drink with oysters.
New Release
Fig Tree Vineyard
This luscious wine starts with hints of citrus and green apple and finishes with crème brule. The palate is rich and full with flavors of poached pear, caramel and butterscotch. The long finish has great balance.
Primarily coming from our warmest vineyard in Calistoga, this vintage is rich and full bodied. Crisp citrus peel and brandied cherry hit the nose, while the mid-palate highlights ripe dark plums and blackberry compote, hints of clove and creamy spiced chocolate. This wine finishes with bourbon barrels. Perfect for a whiskey fan.

Estate Wine
Our Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is everything we want a Napa Valley Cab to be: carmel, cassis, brambly raspberry, black pepper, clove, smoked meats, cranberry, blackberry jam, and bacon. Need we say more!

Pocai Vineyard
The Cabernet Franc from our oldest vineyard, Pocai has also become Betty Ballentine’s favorite wine. Bright red fruit of strawberry, raspberries and cherries enhance the mouthful. The structure is apparent in this young wine and is full of mocha and butterscotch notes. A combination of earth and hints of roses and pepper pull this wine together.

Our reserve Zinfandel features our ripest, most concentrated fruit from our Pocai Ranch. This fabulous Zinfandel is a favorite in our Tasting Room. Warm berry pie on the nose, and scents of cranberries and raspberries mingle with vanilla and clove. Try this Garlic Thyme Steak Sandwich recipe to accompany this delicious wine.

Ballentine Estate Vineyards
The palate is full and rich with some tannin in the mid palate giving the wine some good weight. There are cherries and berries along with toast and caramel flavors. The finish is mellow and smooth.
