Cornell Vineyards

At 3AM this morning, the 2025 harvest season commenced with two tons of Chardonnay at our mountaintop estate. Embracing our traditions, we toasted with Champagne and gathered as a team for breakfast, refueling our bodies before heading to the winery to transform this fruit into wine.

We were thrilled to open 's newsletter yesterday and find this lovely photo of with our Director of Winemaking and Viticulture, Elizabeth Tangney, from their recent tasting. Courtney and .wine tasted an impressive 397 wines for their 2022 Sonoma report, including our 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, which they called "a muscular, ageworthy wine of stunning complexity – violets, cherries, blackberries and bay laurel on the nose; a broad, structured palate with mouthwatering freshness; and abundant yet velvety tannins that promise a long life ahead."⁠
