Munselle Vineyards Wines

Our newest addition to the MV line up, Rosè of Zinfandel, has quickly become a favorite. This wine is perfect with appetizers, lighter meals, or just sipping on a warm summer night.

This dry rosè greets you with a honeydew nose. A little tart grapefruit at the front of the pallet is followed by flavors of peaches and apple. The Zinfandel grape gives just enough fruit and acid to pair nicely with a variety of foods such as charcutier boards, spicier dishes, and grilled vegetables. The wines beautiful light peachy color adds a little festivity to any event.

Watermelon Salad

 

Our Sauvignon Blanc comes from Kristen’s Block at River Ranch located on the banks of the Russian River. The transition of sandy to gravelly soils and mixture of vine clones make it the ideal site for Sauvignon Blanc. The River Ranch Sauvignon Blanc is clear and pale in color, and beholds the signature crisp flavors you expect from this varietal. Aromas of fresh grass, pear and ginger are followed by flavors of stone fruit, mandarin orange and a finish of lemon. It’s a fan favorite and wonderfully refreshing in the summertime…or anytime!

Seared Scallops with Lemon Pea Risotto

 

MV Chardonnay comes from our Coin Flip Ranch, a 100-acre property purchased jointly by grandparents, Fred & Ruby Wasson, and a set of neighbors in 1976. They flipped a coin to determine who would get which half, thus the name Coin Flip Ranch. This wine displays soft, golden tones with bold flavors of honey and pear, and a smooth finish. It is a delightful complement to poultry, pork and seafood dishes, as well as Gruyere, Cambozola, and Provolone cheeses.

Fish Tacos layered with Cilantro Lime Aioli and Sweet & Sour Cabbage

 

The Osborn Ranch is made from Primitivo vines planted on the original homesteading property of our Great-Great Grandfather, Broder Frellson. The loose clusters of small, dark-skinned berries produce fruit-forward flavors likened to raspberry jam, dark plum, with a twist of black pepper. This wine represents all that is great about zinfandels—a bold aroma and complex flavors of berries and spice. It’s fabulous with hearty pasta dishes and barbecue!

Beef Stew with Zinfandel

 

Our Cabernet Sauvignon is procured from our Wasson Home Ranch with soils characteristic of the eastern hillsides of Alexander Valley—rich in nutrients and shale-based for excellent drainage. This full-bodied wine is perfectly paired with savory beef and pork dishes, and a lovely choice with Dry Jack, Gruyere, Brillat Savarin and Picolo cheeses.
