Cool mornings. Coastal fog. A little butter. A little oak. And a whole lot to look forward to. 🥂

Alicia is giving us a sneak peek at the newly bottled **2025 Herzog Special Reserve Russian River Valley Chardonnay**—one of our most beloved w**es, and a perennial favorite for good reason.

The remarkably cool, foggy 2025 growing season helped preserve the grapes' natural acidity and brightness, setting the stage for a Chardonnay that beautifully balances freshness with richness.

From there, the magic happens in the cellar.

**Barrel fermentation**, **100% malolactic fermentation**, and approximately six months in oak, including new barrels, help create that classic California Chardonnay character: creamy texture, buttery richness, and the generous, beautifully rounded style our fans have come to love.

It's a w**e that brings together the best of both worlds: the vibrant elegance of Russian River Valley fruit and the indulgent richness of traditional California Chardonnay.

And now that it's bottled, the wait is almost over.

**2025 Herzog Special Reserve Russian River Valley Chardonnay.**

A new vintage of an old favorite.

**Coming soon.**

Some w**es don't need an introduction. Just a new vintage. 🥂

The **2025 Herzog Special Reserve Russian River Valley Chardonnay** is on the bottling line, and one of our most beloved perennial favorites is getting ready for its next chapter.

And what a year 2025 was in Sonoma County.

A remarkably cool, foggy July and a mild growing season gave the grapes something every great Chardonnay needs: **time**. Time to ripen gradually, develop complexity, and preserve the vibrant natural acidity that makes Russian River Valley Chardonnay so special.

Here, the Pacific's cooling influence meets the warmth of Sonoma's inland afternoons, creating a remarkable balance between richness and freshness. It's a region celebrated for Chardonnay with beautiful texture, generous character, and the elegance to bring it all together.

It's also why we keep coming back to Russian River Valley—and why so many of you keep coming back to this w**e.

From a memorable growing season to the final moments on the bottling line, another vintage is almost ready to make its entrance.

**2025 Herzog Special Reserve Russian River Valley Chardonnay.**

A familiar favorite. A brand-new vintage.

**Coming soon.**

**Forklift driver. Cellar hand. Occasional barrel stirrer. Joseph is earning his keep this harvest.** 😂

In the middle of Harvest 2026, Joseph Herzog is moving barrels through the cellar before checking in on our **Russian River Chardonnay**—and giving each barrel a little attention along the way.

Using a bâton, Joseph reaches down to gently stir the **lees**, the spent yeast and sediment that naturally settle at the bottom of the barrel after fermentation.

The technique is known as **bâtonnage**, and keeping those lees in contact with the w**e can help build texture, richness, and complexity as the Chardonnay develops in barrel.

So yes, sometimes w**emaking means beautiful vineyards and tasting w**e from barrels.

Sometimes it means driving a forklift and scraping the bottom of those barrels with a stick.

**Whatever the Chardonnay needs.**

**Forget what you think you know about Jeunesse for a minute.**

In the middle of Harvest 2026, Joseph Herzog is in the cellar filling barrels with Zinfandel destined for **Jeunesse Reserve**—and making a point he wants more people to understand.

This is **not simply another sweet Jeunesse w**e.**

Jeunesse Reserve has an identity all its own: a carefully curated blend built for complexity while remaining beautifully approachable, then aged in oak for **more than a year** before it's ready.

That time matters. The barrels matter. And so does the intention behind the blend.

Yes, it says Jeunesse on the label.

But what's inside deserves to be judged on its own terms.

**Jeunesse Reserve. Don't let the name tell you the whole story.**

**Before it becomes Chardonnay, somebody has to get their hands dirty.** 🍇

Joseph Herzog is out back with one of the newest arrivals of **Harvest 2026**, digging through freshly delivered **Chalk Hill Chardonnay** before following the fruit on the next step of its journey.

This batch is headed for our **small bladder press**, where gentle, controlled pressure allows us to extract the juice without unnecessarily crushing seeds and solids—a little more precision for fruit we're particularly excited about.

Then it's upstairs to watch the bins tip and those beautiful clusters make their way into the press.

From vineyard bins to cellar, this is harvest in real time: exceptional fruit arriving at the w**ery and immediately beginning its transformation.

**Today, Chalk Hill Chardonnay. Tomorrow, we press on.**

**Joseph isn’t letting Sukkot end without opening something special.** 🥂

And this year, he has a brand-new bottle for the occasion.

The newest **Herzog Méthode Champenoise Rosé** now comes from the **Russian River Valley**—an exciting new chapter for one of our sparkling w**es and a change Joseph has been particularly eager to share.

New vineyard source. New expression. Same very good reason to pop a bottle.

With Sukkot still underway and a few more opportunities to gather around the table, Joseph already knows what he’s pouring.

**The new Russian River Méthode Rosé.**

Because there are still a few celebrations left before we close out Sukkot—and Joseph certainly isn’t going to let them go to waste.

**One vineyard. One vintage. One very specific expression of Cabernet.** 🍷

Joseph Herzog is introducing something brand new: the **2024 Herzog Single Vineyard Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon**.

Single-vineyard w**es give us the opportunity to narrow the lens—to focus on one particular site and allow the character of that vineyard and vintage to take center stage.

No blending away its identity. No trying to make it taste like somewhere else.

Just **Dry Creek Cabernet**, through and through.

Joseph has spent decades seeking out vineyards capable of giving us something distinctive, and this newest release continues that story—another place, another vintage, and another Cabernet with something of its own to say.

The **2024 Single Vineyard Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon** is here.

We'll let Joseph make the introduction.

**Some harvest deliveries come with a little more mystery than others.** 🍇

Joseph Herzog and Director of W**emaking David Galzignato are back on the crush pad with one of the newest arrivals of **Harvest 2026: Swan Clone Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley.**

And this isn't just another load of Pinot.

Swan Clone has arrived with a very particular destination in mind—and Joseph and David are already hinting that we're going to be doing **something very special** with it.

For now, that's all we're saying.

Exceptional fruit. Russian River Valley. One very intriguing plan already taking shape in the cellar.

**Stay close. This one is going somewhere interesting.**

**Even during harvest, the rest of the cellar doesn’t stop.** 🍷

Joseph Herzog and Director of W**emaking David Galzignato are taking a quick break from **Harvest 2026** to check in on something already quietly taking shape in the cellar.

Straight from the barrel, they’re tasting through one of our Chardonnays—checking its progress, seeing how the w**e is developing, and making sure everything is exactly where it needs to be.

Because harvest may command the spotlight this time of year, but w**emaking is always happening on more than one timeline.

New fruit is arriving. Last season’s w**es are evolving. Barrels are developing.

And somewhere in between all the beautiful chaos, you stop, pull a sample, and taste.

**Back to harvest.**

**Four w**es. One rule: use the best of the vintage.**

Joseph Herzog has always had a soft spot for **Quartet**—and part of what makes it special is that it was never meant to stand still.

There’s no fixed recipe we’re chasing from year to year. Director of W**emaking David Galzignato has the freedom to select the **four w**es that best represent each vintage**, then determine the percentages that bring them together at their best.

Typically, that takes us into the world of Bordeaux varieties. But the final composition? We’re keeping that part to ourselves.

Because Quartet isn’t about recreating last year’s w**e.

It’s about letting each vintage tell us what the w**e should be.

Four voices, brought together in just the right proportions. A different expression with every vintage—and a perennial favorite for very good reason.

**This is Quartet.**
