Midnight Cellars Description

Midnight Cellars has a single goal, “to consistently produce fine wines the family can be proud of.” Focusing on hand crafted varietal red wines and blends the winery uses traditional winemaking techniques using oak barrels, sur lie ageing and malolactic fermentation. With two vineyard properties they concentrate on estate grown wines including Bordeaux blends and a late harvest Zinfandel.
 
The winery’s first vineyard is a nearby hillside and hilltop location, with clay, shale and limestone-rich soil. The Midnight Vineyard is planted to Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Petit Verdot. Although a complicated subject, many viticulturalists will agree that smaller yields produce superior wine grapes. The vineyard is producing three tons per acre of very intense fruit. The family run operation takes pride in their vineyards and names each vineyard block after a family member.

Adjacent to the 10,000 square foot open air winery of Midnight Cellars is their bright blue tasting room with its white awning. The large space has a tile floor with a long tasting bar looking out behind the winery to a grassy lawn backed up against the hillside. There are tables and chairs for relaxing and taking in the clean country air. Inside the tasting room there is a nice display of boutique items, ribbons displayed for various  awards, and framed photographs. Visitors are welcome to take a tour with the winemaker whenever he is available-- and spontaneous barrel tastings are known to occur.

What a wonderful small winery! They make a beautiful Syrah and a very nice Pinot. The staff are great and the place is very relaxed. There are a few small wineries right on this block practically, and Midnight is my overwhelmingly favorite stop!
