Chenoweth

Home Ranch Pinot Noir

On other labels, you’ll see Home Ranch listed as Chenoweth Ranch. This wine is pretty generous, sourced from vines planted on Goldridge soils with classic Pinot Noir clonal selections. It shows rich red fruit, a touch of mulberry, and Christmas-spice warmth, with plenty of Russian River Valley plushness. Dried violets, fig notes, and baked-cherry tones carry through on the finish, supported by firm tannins that build as the wine closes. CIRQ and CHEV also source fruit from this site.

Chenoweth

Pinot Noir

This is the winery’s flagship wine from the Green Valley of the Russian River Valley. Sourced from Home Ranch, Treehouse, and Bootlegger’s, it’s a fragrant Pinot that opens with dark-berry fruit, fig paste, brown baking spices, and a touch of underbrush. Crisp tannins support a juicy core, with plenty of warm spice character, a bit of black pepper, and perfumed rose petals that carry through the lengthy finish.

Chenoweth

Treehouse Vineyard Pinot Noir

That’s quite a wine. It’s a robust, richly styled Pinot Noir with super-dark fruit, loamy earth, and an intense underbrush and deep-forest character, all threaded with an elegant sea-spray minerality. The wine is also incredibly floral, showing rose-petal lift alongside black-tea tannins and a distinct red-rock minerality that likely reflects the unique red soils of this site. I really love where this wine is in its life cycle — it has just the right balance of ripe fruit and savory nuance.

2021

Chenoweth

Bootlegger's Hill Vineyard Chardonnay

Brightly aromatic, showing expressive white flowers and lemon verbena. Full malolactic fermentation and aging in 30% new French oak add richness to the citrus, apple, and pear fruit, while a hint of well-integrated cedarwood spice comes across more like salted Marcona almonds. The finish builds with a lovely lemon-oil richness. From Bootlegger’s Hill, with three rows of Montrachet clone from Little Boot Vineyard blended in.

2023

Chenoweth

Rosé of Grenache/Pinot Noir

This Rosé is 70% Grenache and 30% Pinot Noir, fermented and aged in stainless steel. It’s bright, clean, crisp, and lightly salty — incredibly easy to drink. Subtle aromatics of baking spice and earthy minerality show on the nose, and the palate brings building richness and a pleasantly medium-weight feel. The Chenoweth family has farmed in Sonoma County for 170 years. Charlie and Amy Chenoweth launched their vineyard management company in 1999 and their wine brand in 2010. From 2010 to 2015, they produced just one Pinot Noir before shifting to vineyard-designate bottlings. In 2017, they expanded the lineup to include a Chardonnay and a Rosé.
