Great Partners  =  Fabulous Wines

Ravenswood

Ravenswood’s winemakers have made a Pickberry wine since 1986.  The lush wines have intense fruit flavors which age extremely well.  Blending 4 of our grape varietals (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot), Ravenswood creates their Pickberry Vineyards red wine.

5th Hill 

Ned Hill and winemaker Randall Watkins use all 5 Bordeaux varieties (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec) for the 5th Hill.  The grapes are picked at the same time and fermented together, so the blend is determined in the field before harvest.  Results have been spectacular: the 2014 5th Hill Pickberry won Best of Class at Sonoma County’s Harvest Fair.

Tin Barn Winery

Concentrating on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from our vineyard, winemaker Mike Lancaster has   created a Cabernet-Merlot blend as well as Reserve releases of both Cabernet and Merlot.  All three wines are vineyard designates.

Gamling and McDuck

Gabrielle Shaffer and Adam McClary make a Loire style Cabernet Franc.  Pickberry’s cool climate fruit is ideal for their rich, fruit focused wine.

Smith Story

Ali Smith and Eric Story are making both a Cabernet and a Merlot from our fruit.  The wines are wonderful, with rich fruit flavors and dark lush colors.

Gail

Daniel O’Brien has focused on our Merlot to create an opulent wine which sells out quickly.

Extea

Ryan Pass and Luisa Bonachea are working with our Cabernet Franc to make a lower alcohol, fruit forward wine that will pair well with food.

Reeve

Noah Dorrance has made a Merlot from our grapes and next year will also make a Cabernet.

Rousseau

Yannick Rousseau is adding our Merlot to his extensive selection of wines, with 2017 being his first vintage.

Laurel Glen

Bettina Sichel and winemaker Randall Watkins incorporate our Merlot grapes in their Counterpoint blend.

Schug

Winemaker Mike Cox gets both Malbec and Petit Verdot from Pickberry.  He has released a Malbec which contains about 85% of our fruit and the Petit Verdot is on the horizon.
