Now that 2010 is well underway and we're recovering from the busy 2009 harvest, we're working on lots of bottling. You can look forward to our 2007 Petite Sirahs, both Central Coast and vineyard-designated; 2008 Zinfandels, including our probably-once-only Fashionably Late, enthusiastic-in-every-way, sweet-ish Zin from Wiedeman Vineyard; you can also expect our 2008 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir and Wiedeman Syrah before long. Sones Cellars should be bursting with new releases by mid-Spring!

Sones Cellarsis a small family winery located on the Westside in Santa Cruz, California. Our goal is to produce small lots of fine quality, distinctively Californian wines from grape varieties that flourish in California. Our primary focus is on Petite Sirah and Zinfandel.Our initial selection includes Petite Sirah and Zinfandel because we believe that these varietals flourish locally and produce distinctively Californian wines. Both have been grown in California since the late 1800s, have survived prohibition, phyloxera and trends in popularity, and more of both are grown in California than in any other part of the world. As Sones increases its production, we will add another varietal or two, including a white, but will maintain our focus on Petite Sirah, a varietal we both love and believe to be under-appreciated in California.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
