Kick summer off with some laid back California wines! "Back in 1985, around a friendly game of Liar’s Dice, Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and Dave Ready decided to make their love of fine wines official. Over 30 vintages later, we’re putting that same passion our founders had into making our wines. We’re proud of our roots in the Sonoma County agricultural community and we know our passion for wine will come through in every Murphy-Goode wine you enjoy." Winery Notes

Murphy-Goode, Chardonnay, Santa Rosa, California, 2016 - $12.99
“I make this style with the thought of coming home from work, putting your feet up, and relaxing with a refreshing glass of Chardonnay in hand. I keep it fruit forward and clean. The barrels are only used to round the wine and add just a touch of richness.This Chardonnay is quite versatile. It would pair nicely with spicier fare such as curry with chicken as well as lighter seafood dishes.Winemaker Dave Ready

Cambria Estate Winery, Rosé of Pinot Noir, Julia's Vineyard, Santa Maria Valley, California, 2018 - $22.99
“This Rosé of Pinot Noir has pronounced aromas of white peach, strawberry and citrus. The palate is medium bodied, with balancing and refreshing acidity, leading to a finish that expresses watermelon and grapefruit. A summer favorite, perfect for brunch or a picnic.” – Jill Russell, Winemaker. All grapes from the Estate Vineyards are certified under the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance and Sustainability in Practice!

Murphy-Goode, Pinot Noir, California, 2016 - $13.99
From vineyards up and down the coast of California, including Arroyo Seco, Santa Maria Valley, and Monterey. Cool conditions in these prime growing spots keep grapes at a perfect balance between vibrant dark fruit character and bright acidity. Notes of vanilla from aging in French and American oak add complexity to the intense black cherry aromas and flavors. Serve this one with a Cedar Plank Salmon hot off the grill, or pair with your favorite pulled pork sandwich. 

Murphy-Goode, Red Blend, California, 2015 - $13.99
A
soft red wine comprised of 5 different varietals (50% Zinfandel, 36% Syrah, 5% Petite Sirah, 3% Grenache, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 1% Sangiovese, 1% Petit Verdot)to create complexity and to show off the great fruit flavors that our grapes in California contribute. The nose kicks in with dark aromas of black cherries and blueberries while the first taste mixes things up with raspberries and Bing Cherries. The mouthfeel is rich yet soft and has a nice long finish that invites you to take a second sip.

Murphy-Goode, Cabernet Sauvignon, California, 2016 - $13.99
"This wine has a great varietal expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. Look forward to aromas and flavors of black cherry with just a hint of black licorice. The finish will add notes of chocolate, vanilla, and just a touch of toast." Winemaker Dave Ready. Great for backyard parties with charbroiled burgers or your favorite steak fresh off the grill!
