Goldschmidt Vineyards Yeoman

Goldschmidt Vineyards showcases single vineyards from the Alexander Valley in Sonoma County and the Oakville appellation in the Napa Valley.

Making wine has been our passion – fueling our dreams and enriching our lives.

Yolyn and I are both originally from New Zealand, have spent time living and working in Australia and South America, and now call Sonoma County our home. Our five grown children have been involved in Goldschmidt Vineyards, whether pitching in during harvest or helping out in the cellar with the winemaking. When the girls were much younger, I came up with the idea of including their silhouettes on the label, and each girl would color the label to reflect her personality and style. Having our girls join us on our winemaking adventures has meant so much to me as a parent. Each of our children is finding their path, but they each have a bit of winemaking genetics shining through as well.

The 2019 vintage hits all the right notes, thanks to a stunning ripening year. Not as hot as 2018 or 2020, the wine is more elegant as a result. The warmer years bring more black fruit, but in 2019 we have more blueberry, red cherry and hints of plum. The palate is inviting and well-balanced with a deep mocha finish and lingering tannins.
