Red Wine, White Wine, Rosé & More

Our appealing Apothic Chardonnay opens with generous notes of crisp red and green apple, layered with hints of honey, caramel and vanilla. Viognier in the blend adds intriguing aromatic floral and tropical fruit characteristics. This luscious wine offers a silky-smooth texture and a bright, lively finish. Viticulture Notes: We selected the majority of the grapes for Apothic Chardonnay from the unique Lodi Delta region in California. With its cool evenings and warm days, Lodi is known as a producer of fragrant, concentrated and silky textured fruit. California’s 2021 growing season was cool and mild, with a heat spell in August that resulted in an earlier than average harvest. Wines showcase vibrant acidity and concentrated flavors.  Winemaking Notes: We harvested a majority of the grapes for our Apothic Chardonnay at night in cool temperatures to preserve the character of the fruit. The fruit was whole-cluster pressed, then the juice settled and was racked to tank to optimize clarity and mouthfeel. The Chardonnay underwent partial malolactic fermentation and was fermented on selected oak with sur lie aging, enhancing the wine’s delicate fruit flavors while adding subtle caramel, cream and spice characteristics. A portion of the Chardonnay and Viognier were fermented in stainless-steel tanks.

Apothic Rosé

The 2020 Apothic Rosé is a light, refreshing wine with a dark nature. Aromas of rose petals and honey open, revealing notes of dark cherry, black raspberry and ripe strawberry on a clean mouthfeel. The finish is long with a burst of watermelon at the end. Viticulture Notes: California’s 2020 vintage experienced a cool, mild growing season with an accelerated heat spell in August, resulting in early ripening. Vintage 2020 grapes show vibrant acidity and concentrated flavor. We explored the state to find the best fruit for this blend from the heart of the Central Valley and Lodi. We harvested at the peak of quality to make a light-bodied, crisp and refreshing Rosé. Winemaking Notes: Most of the fruit was harvested at night to limit color extraction. The grapes were delivered in whole clusters to our membrane presses for the gentlest processing possible. We kept fermentation temperatures cool to preserve delicate red fruit aromas. A small portion of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation and lees stirring to create a soft, refreshing mouthfeel. The wine was kept cool until blending to maintain a perfect balance of acid and fruit.

Apothic Sparkling Red

Introducing Apothic Sparkling, or “Bubbles with Attitude.” This new, limited release wine blends red and white grapes together, leading to a sparkling white wine with a darker disposition. Notes of strawberry and white peach combine with a hint of vanilla for a wine that is best served with a chill. Winemaking Notes: The grapes for Apothic Sparkling were harvested at optimum ripeness during nighttime temperatures to retain fruit freshness. Fermentation at low to moderate temperatures, between 55°- 62° F, helped preserve the fruit flavors and create expressive aromatics. The wine was then moved to stainless steel tanks to preserve its brightness and balance.

Apothic Pinot Noir

Our 2020 Apothic Pinot Noir is a bold, yet lighter-bodied, red wine. Bright layers of crushed raspberry and ripe cherry meet aromas of Tahitian vanilla. The mouthfeel is round and opulent, leading to a detailed, lingering finish. Viticulture Notes: California’s 2020 vintage experienced a cool, mild growing season with an accelerated heat spell in August, resulting in early ripening. Vintage 2020 grapes show vibrant acidity and concentrated flavor. Winemaking Notes: We selected Pinot Noir grapes from Lodi for their red fruit profiles and soft, approachable tannins. Syrah was blended with the Pinot Noir to complement the dark cherry flavors with soft blueberry notes. To brighten the acidity and add notes of red currant, we blended unique Graciano grapes into the wine. The grapes were destemmed with marginal crushing and cold soaked overnight to encourage extraction of the fruit’s alluring color and tannins.

Apothic Crush

Our 2019 Apothic Crush is a luscious Red Blend brimming with notes of dark cherry and blackberry. Supple tannins deliver hints of rich caramel. Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel lead the blend on the 2019 Apothic Crush, delivering a long, smooth finish. Viticulture Notes: Vintage 2019 in California experienced cool temperatures that effectively lengthened the growing season and allowed the grapes to ripen gradually at lower sugars. Grapes from this harvest have concentrated flavor and optimal balance. Winemaking Notes: We harvested a majority of the grapes for the 2019 Apothic Crush at night in cool temperatures to preserve the character of the fruit. The Pinot Noir was cold soaked for 2-3 days, then fermented between 80° to 85° F. The other varieties were fermented between 86° to 90° F. To create a silky mouthfeel and toasted caramel characteristics, we aged the blend in a mixture of French and American oak.

Apothic Inferno

Apothic 2019 Inferno is a Red Wine with a Whiskey Soul. Aging some of the wine in whiskey barrels adds an intriguing dimension of maple and spice to Inferno’s dark layers of black plum and blackberry. The palate intensifies with notes of dried cherry and toasty vanilla, then leads to a long, warm finish. Viticulture Notes The 2019 growing season started later than usual in California. Spring rain and cooling temperatures extended ripening time for the grapes. As a result, the grapes ripened more slowly and developed full flavors and acidity. Harvest 2019 produced slightly lower yields of fruit with concentrated flavor and optimal balance. Winemaking Notes Apothic Inferno is first oak aged 2-4 months, then aged an additional 60 days in whiskey barrels to give a unique flavor profile that is expressed in the bottle.

Visionary Winemaker Deb Juergenson and her team challenges convention with a portfolio of intriguing blends, daring varietals and limited-edition seasonal releases. Wonder what’s next? Just watch. You won’t be disappointed. About the Wine The 2021 Apothic White is a vibrant blend of four varietals grown from California and Washington state. Chardonnay leads the blend while Pinot Gris, Riesling and Viognier add fragrant aromas and complexity. Layers of green apple, lemon zest and tree-ripened apricot open to a palate layered with notes of white peach and vanilla undertones. The finish is bright and crisp. Viticulture Notes Ongoing drought conditions throughout California caused a slight reduction in crop size in 2021. Mild summer conditions allowed the fruit to take its time ripening and developing optimal flavor concentration. Washington state experienced some prolonged heat spells, which also caused a slight drop in crop size. Harvest in both viticultural regions produced yields of high-quality grapes with excellent quality. Winemaking Notes To retain the natural characteristics of each varietal, we fermented the blend at cool temperatures. The Pinot Grigio, Viognier and Riesling were fermented 100% in stainless steel tanks to preserve delicate fruit aromas. Select lots of Chardonnay were fermented and aged on oak to add a touch of vanilla before undergoing malolactic fermentation to enhance fruit character.

Apothic Red

The 2021 Apothic Red is our first daringly original blend of California-grown red grapes. Zinfandel leads the blend with silky layers of blackberry, black cherry with a hint of black pepper. Syrah and Merlot deliver undercurrents of ripe blueberry, boysenberry and a soft, plush mouthfeel. Cabernet Sauvignon adds more dimension with notes of black currant while bold tannins deliver a hint of intrigue. The finish is long and smooth with lingering notes of vanilla and mocha from the oak we selected for aging.

Apothic Cab

Our 2021 Apothic Cab brings a silky, elegant dimension to the bold characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon. For this wine, we blended only the softest tannin Cabernet grapes with Zinfandel to bring distinct notes of blackberry and hints of strawberry. Layers of black cherry from the Cab meld with hints of rhubarb and spice with a subtle undercurrent of vanilla and mocha from a touch of oak aging. Viticulture Notes: California’s 2021 vintage experienced a cool, mild growing season with an accelerated heat spell in August, resulting in early ripening. Vintage 2021 in California shows vibrant acidity and concentrated flavor. Winemaking Notes: We specially selected Cabernet grapes with the most intense fruit profile and the softest tannins. The fruit was destemmed with marginal crushing to gently extract color and tannins from the fruit. Portions of this wine oak aged for about 3-4 months to preserve elegant fruit character and impart subtle vanilla.
