Keating Wines is an ultra-premium, small production winery specializing in, but not limited to, Bordeaux varieties. Keating Wines was founded in 2006 and is located at 23564 Arnold Drive at the Cornerstone Gardens in the Carneros region of Sonoma County.
Annual production is roughly 1,200 cases. The goal of Keating Wines is to only buy fruit from quality, high-demand vineyards. Combining that with top notch wine making practices and a barrel program using appropriate amounts of new French Oak will lead
to consistent, flavorful, balanced, and structured wines.
Wine releases (some yet to be released) include Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley 'Montecillo' Cabernet Sauvignon, Encomium series, Rockpile Malbec, Rockpile Petite Sirah, Sonoma Valley Merlot, Sonoma Valley Zinfandel, Dry Creek Zinfandel.
"Wine made for one purpose -- for every glass to be appreciated, savored, and remembered."
Cheers!
Eric KeatingZinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyMoon Mountain DistrictEstablished in 2013, historic vineyards from the 1880’s
