UNTI VINEYARDS

Dry Creek Valley's most unique winery. 60-acres of organically-farmed Italian and Rhone varieties. New Releases: 2023 Rosé and Whites, 2022 Barbera, 2022 Grenache. Critical Acclaim for 2021 Cuvée Foudre, Syrah Benchland.

New Wine Releases


75% Grenache, 25% Syrah

Our 2022 Grenache comes from our Alban clone blocks planted in 1998. This clone has always produced very expressive aromas and solid structure, which is especially evident in 2022. We blended this intensely fruity Grenache with Syrah from our Benchland vineyard, planted in 1991. The wine shows that classic tension between being fruit forward and firm, similar to the better wine Rhone wines from Rasteau and Vacqueyras. It is showing well now, and will improve over the next 2 to 4 years.

66% Sangiovese, 34% Montepulciano

Segromigno is our homage to Italy's Rosso Piceno, which is a blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano. Our 2022 Segromigno shows why Sangiovese and Montepulciano are such compatible blending partners. The Sangiovese, from our Benchland property has bright cherry fruit and nice acidity. The Montepulciano, from vines we planted in 2007, provides body, texture and classic plum, cassis flavors. Segromigno is very Italian-like, and not surprisingly, it is one of our most popular wines.

100% Vermentino

The long, cool 2023 growing season produced some of our raciest white wines. We now have 3 clones of Vermentino, which really give this '23 a more serious complexity, depth and structure. As you know, we love how Vermentino performs in Dry Creek, regardless of the vintage. It's fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve Vermentino's expressive floral and fruity character,  using no malo-lactic fermentation to preserve it's live acidity. We love Vermentino in Dry Creek Valley!

40% Vermentino, 40% Grenache Blanc, 20% Picpoul

Cuvée Blanc was our first white wine from an experimental vineyard block planted in 2004, containing Vermentino, Grenache Blanc and Picpoul. We now have almost 6 acres planted combined, and it is still our best example of a serious southern French white blend. Grenache Blanc, the foundation for many Châteauneuf-du-Pape white wines, lends body, richness and texture. Vermentino offers floral fruity aromas and flavor, while Picpoul adds a lovely citrus edge. The long, cool 2023 growing season really shows the vibrant acidity all three varieties deliver from our vines. Fermented and aged in stainles steel and concrete with no ML. Clearly my favorite Unti white wine, and one that will likely age well over the next 2-3 years.

100% Grenache Blanc

We have been growing Grenache Blanc since 2004, and now have almost 2 acres planted. As you would expect, Grenache Blanc is our most full bodied white. What isn't typical of the variety is that it is consistently our highest acid white - giving it the steely personality of a French Chablis, but with more fruit. The 2023 has a bit deeper color than the 2022, but don't be fooled, this is no "orange wine." It has bright green apple and spice aromas and flavors with racy acidity. Fermented and aged in stainless steel and concrete, with no oak. We are defintely on the higher acid end of the Grenache Blanc spectrum, and I love it.

100% Fiano

Our 2023 Fiano comes from two small vineyard blocks, planted in 2011 and 2018. Fiano is, in my opinion, the most interesting and distinctive white wine in Southern Italy. It has expressive honey, almond-pear aromas and flavors in a richly textured, but crisp wine.  Both of our vineyards blocks produce these classic flavors with a bit more natural acidity than normally found in Italy, which is even more noticeable in 2023. It's fermented and aged in both stainless steel and concrete tanks with no ML. Fiano is tremendously versitile, as it can stand up to full flavored food.

85% Grenache Noir,  15% Mourvedre

Very few California wineries take rosé as seriously as we do here at Unti. Since 2002, we have been making rosé from our estate grown, organically farmed Grenache and Mourvèdre - the varieties used in the best Provençal rosé, Bandol. Our vines are now over 25 years old, and in the cool 2023 growing season they produced a classic aromatic and full-bodied rosé with racy acidity. This 2023 is a perfect example of why our customers feel we make the most Provençal-like rosé in California.

Our Barbera comes from vines we planted in 1998 and 2018. 2022 was an excellent vintage for Barbera thanks to some warm weather in September. Winemaker Jason Valent says it his favorite Barbera since 2015. It has the classic dark color, exotic fruit, and bright acidity we've come to love about Barbera from Dry Creek Valley.

75% Zinfandel, 20% Petite Sirah, 5% Barbera

The 2021 vintage delivered one fo the best Zinfandel's in Unti history thanks to a naturally low crop set, and fantastic harvest weather. Very dark and intensely fruity, our '21 is my kind of Dry Creek Zinfandel. This full-bodied wine that is also juicy and perfectly balanced, thanks to our use of Petite Sirah and Barbera in the blend. If you have been a fan of Unti Zin, you won't want to miss this vintage.
