Enjoy our 2023 versions of the Hawk Hill Vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The Cabernet Shiraz has been a Loxton Cellars favorite since the first version in 2005. The style has changed a little over the years except for showing the natural vintage variations.The Cabernet gives the wine lots of structure and bright red fruit while the Syrah rounds out the middle palate. A wine to enjoy now with bigger meals or to let it improve in the cellar for the next 10 years or more.
Our Family Selection contains a signed bottle of each of our Family Lot wines. The 2019 Cuvée Ellen Syrah named for Chris' Grandmother and the 2022 Grandfather's Cuvée named for Chris' Grandfather, Herb.
Mountain viticulture is indeed a different experience, and I can’t begrudge that these are the most expensive grapes I’ve ever purchased. This is true Moon Mountain Cabernet sauvignon; excellent tannin structure and brushy fruit notes that seem to reflect the chapparal and high elevations of the mountain. I received fruit from 3 different vineyard blocks, and I think it should be enjoyed with bigger meals. Ready now but can be cellared for another 10-15 years.
A more elegant style than the estate wine also offered in this selection, with more red fruit and freshness. I find this wine a little more versatile with food as it doesn’t need heavier dishes to find the right match. Drink now and for the next 5 years in good storage conditions.
The estate Syrah has shown that it deserves to be bottled separately, as it is a wonderful example of Syrah from here on the Estate vineyard. The 2021 wines were uniformly excellent, perhaps Nature’s payback for the devastation brought by the 2020 fires, and this is no exception. Dense color and great fruit are the hallmarks, and it seems to hide the structure of the wine.
After many years I've been fortunate to once again get the fabulous fruit from Hawk Hill vineyard in Freestone which was the source of my first Pinot in 2005!
These vines may be the oldest in the valley and were planted back in 1882. I’m always in awe of vines that have survived for over 100 years with all that nature has thrown at them. The wine shows lots of black cherry fruit and while Zinfandel can lack color and structure, here they shine! There is a density and depth of flavor about this wine as well and I think this might be related to the age of the vines.
Sonoma Reds is our very popular everyday red wine. Grenache and Zinfandel are the main players but smaller quantities of all that I make go into the blend. Case discounts of 25% apply and this wine can be mixed with the NV Shiraz to make up the case.
Made from Estate grown grapes, this blend is based on the Zinfandel grown on the hillside at the back of the property bringing bright berry flavors with Petite sirah added for color and structure and Grenache for acidity and red fruit. I strongly recommend this wine with any grilled foods over Summer, and it should keep its fruit and intensity for another 4-5 years if you have patience and cellaring space. I think it is a lovely tribute to those old pioneers in the California wine industry who worked so hard to establish this wine region.
