Elyse Winery Wine Tasting The Historic Vineyard Tour
Taste through these esoteric vineyard sites that make very different wines.
Wine Flight
Sonoma County Chardonnay 2020
Our 2020 Chardonnay has a core of ripe pear wrapped in smooth marzipan cream. A lush mid-palate of peach and dried lemon are kept in focus by a vein of minerality. Flamboyant yet refined, this wine's natural acidity carries these flavors, leaving you begging for another taste.
Old Vine Zinfandel 2019
Deep and dark with bramble fruit and cracked black pepper on the front moves into cedar chest and sweet tobacco. A structure of supple tannins and a sustained mouthwatering finish of graham cracker crust and raspberry coulis.
Dry Creek Zinfandel 2019
Crafted from hundred-year-old vines, this Zinfandel opens with a nose of blackberry, crushed peppercorns, and roasted coffee beans. The brambly nature continues to the pallet with flavors of mixed berry pie and wild raspberry preserves. Dense and packed, yet polished on the finish, this wine displays the unique character that only ancient vines can achieve.

About the Winery
Wines with a Sense of Place. From what started with a handful of barrels made from a dear friend's vineyard in 1987, Elyse Winery has been the waypoint for countless wine lovers to experience California wines and fall in love with wines and vineyards of all regions and acclaim. After thirty years of stewardship, Ray and Nancy decided that it was time to retire. What began as a casual conversation over dinner evolved into the next chapter for Elyse Winery. In October 2018, Ray and Nancy Coursen sold Elyse Winery to fellow Yountville locals, Josh Peeples, and his partner, Cheryl Foil. Perfect timing for both parties, the torch has been passed to continue the same passion for the decades to come.
