Scelto dagli amanti del vino di tutto il mondo

Came out here on a Sunday afternoon. Such a pretty place with a very nice host. Live music and casual unpretentious great wine tasting.

Gracious owner and staff. Wine is excellent and live music on Sunday's. A perfect place!

Accidentally turned into the back of the winery instead of the main parking area. The manager then accused us of drunk driving.... Umm... No... Hope the wine tastes better than the customer service, I probably won't ever know.

My daughter is planning her wedding for Englemann Cellars and Bret has been awesome to work with. The wedding is this Saturday, so far everything has been great, we will let you know how the even went....At least the weather is co-operating

Annual End of Frost Party last weekend was fabulous, although Lost Dog Found provided amazing music and Pizza Politana delectable pizzas the star of the show was, of course, the wines. Rebecca and Keith greeted you with a 2013 Ruby Ruby (Ruby will you be Wine?) Pinot Noir Saignee from the Russian River Valley. This wine from the Hallberg Vineyard was crisp and fruity. It was placed into the fermentation tanks with the skins for a few days and then just the juice was removed to ferment. It spent 3-4 months in natural oak and is the perfect wine for the warm weather that has moved into Sonoma County this week. Taylor was assisting Mari with a barrel tasting of the 2013 Hallberg Pinot Noir - oh my, I can't wait until this is in the bottle! Raspberries, a silky mouth feel, and incredible balance in such a young wine - so promising. Available now are the 2011 Pinots from Hallberg and William Wesley Vineyards. Both of these are excellent wines, although I am partial to the dry farming methods used to produce the Hallberg designate wine. Both displayed beautiful berry notes and lively tannins that should reward a little patience in the cellar. I would recommend putting these down for a little while yet, especially the William Wesley - I am sure they will reward you.

This may be the best Pinot Noir you've ever tasted! It's wonderful by itself or with food. I'm a big fan of fish but I drink Emeritus Pinot Noir with fish dishes and just about everything else I eat. You have to try it, and then you must add your name to the Emeritus mailing list so you'll know when the next wine is released. (It's not available in retail stores, just at restaurants and directly from the winery.)

I have traveled the world and enjoyed some great wines and way too many not so great. But none have surpassed the Pinot Noir wines produced by Emeritus Vineyards. These are world class wines produced by great people, great soil and great weather. I am always in awe of true artists and their work. They bless us with their work.

Got tasting as my birthday treat. Absolutely lovely, you can chat to winery staff in informal setting, pet their dogs etc. Lots of wine-related and local knowledge, delicious varieties, very friendly service. Thank you and highly recommended!
