From Mae’s Vineyard—named for Margaux Mae, the owner’s daughter—this is a gorgeous Syrah, bursting with pure red cherry and blueberry fruit, interlaced with rose petal, violet, and a dusting of white pepper. The palate is all satin and silk, energized by tangy blood orange acidity and layered with hints of clove, mountain herbs, and wet stone minerality on a long, saline-acid finish. Simply spectacular.

From Mae’s Vineyard in the Applegate Valley AVA, this Viognier from Herb Quady is dynamic, focused, and irresistibly fresh. White peach, white flowers, and a hint of honeysuckle lead the way, all grounded by a medium-bodied palate with racy mineral tension. Stock up by the case if you can—this one’s a standout.
Striking a balance between Grenache’s juicy, succulent red berry fruit and the savory wild herb nuances of the Applegate Valley, this wine pulls off a remarkable tightrope act. Juicy peach and apricot notes are lifted by stony minerality and candied fennel, leading to a long, satisfyingly bone-dry finish. Serve well chilled while grilling all summer long—and plan on more than one bottle, thanks to its modest 12.9% alcohol. Well done.
