The Ventana Vineyard was planted in 1974.  The vineyard was named "Ventana," Spanish for "window," because the vineyard lies up against the Ventana Wilderness in Monterey County, but also because it symbolized a "window to the future" in California viticulture.  At the time, there were very few vineyards in the area, but today, Monterey has taken its rightful place beside Napa and Sonoma as one of the great wine regions of California." - Winery Notes

Ventana Chardonnay 2013 Tasting Notes

"Ventana's Chardonnay is light, yet fresh and focused, displaying tropical fruit notes of pineapple and mango. It is well balanced and tastes of Gala apple, pear and spicy floral tones. Light oak notes lead to hints of vanilla and honey highlights. The perfect balance of fruit, oak and acidity makes this an exceptional sipping and food friendly Chardonnay." - Winery Notes

Ventana Pinot Noir 2012 Tasting Notes

"Ventana's 2012 Pinot Noir has an explosion of vibrant wild cherry, raspberry and cranberry flavors with a delicious hint of cedar. Ten months of aging rounds out the flavor complexities with a touch of smokiness and vanilla. The wine is medium bodied with a bright berry red color. The food friendly Pinot Noir is a pleasing accompaniment to almost any entree from almond encrusted salmon to duck in cherry reduction sauce. It is fabulous now or cellar up to eight years." - Winery Notes

Ventana Rubystone Red 2014 Tasting Notes

"This vintage has a nice dark berry notes on the nose with hints of blackberry, black cherry, raspberry and white and black pepper. Toasted oak with a spruce note and a touch of vanilla roundness. Juicy in the mouth with a just-ripe berry feel that really fills your mouth up." - Winery Notes
