Iron Horse Vineyards

The Iron Horse concept is to make estate bottled wines, which show a definite "sense of place”. The family feels very strongly about making wines that are specific to the Green Valley appellation, our special vineyard and the vintage, making the best wines of the year, and never falling back on "recipe” winemaking.

Generally speaking, the wines are expressive, stylish, highly nuanced, bright, focused, soft and silky. They exude quality and class. Above all, winemaker David Munksgard strives for exquisite balance in his wines. Our style is not "knock your socks off” wines. We prefer to glide your socks off.

The Sparkling Wines are remarkable for exceeding the French standards for vintage quality. None of the cuvées undergo malo-lactic fermentation. The richness and creaminess come from extended aging on the yeast in the bottle. The Wedding Cuvée is aged on average three years; the Classic Vintage Brut is aged four to five years and the LD (Late Disgorged) is held for seven to eight years. To quote Robert Parker: "These impressive sparkling wines...possess more texture and flavor than just about any sparkler...from California.”

The winery is proud to offer 20 different bottlings in 2006, including the wines from the T-bar-T vineyard in the Alexander Valley. Each is both delicious and distinctive in its own category. Most wineries make one or two great wines and the others being side efforts, but Iron Horse is remarkable for its quality and class across the board.
