Goldschmidt Vineyards Plus Game Ranch

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 PLUS captures the vintage beautifully. Deep purple in color. The aromatics in the glass are black currant, blackberry, and boysenberry with toasty vanilla and spice playing supporting roles. Bright, fresh and restrained on entry, the mid-palate offeres a blend of fruit, spice, toasty oak and cedar notes. While the finish offers plenty of structure to age beautifully, the round polished tannins give warmth and texture to finish.
