Tournesol Proprietor’s Blend, sourced from our estate vineyard, is composed of the 5 Bordeaux varieties originally planted by the Arns in 1999; Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Since the first harvest in 2004, the blend has varied depending on the vineyard, growing season, harvest, and development through fermentation and barrel aging. The Proprietor’s Blend has become a representation and expression of vineyard, vintage and terroir. Our flagship wine is known for its vibrant aromatics, intense color and concentration, complexity and balance. Tournesol Proprietor’s Blend is enjoyable upon release, or if preferred ages 10-15 years.

Tournesol Cabernet Sauvignon is the result of a hand-selected barrel lot, from a single block in our stream vineyard, which consistently yields outstanding grapes. The first vintage of our 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was 2005, and in most years we have the opportunity to bottle a limited quantity of an exceptional expression of varietal, vintage and our unique terroir. This wine is a stellar Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon. It is deep, rich and full bodied, with structure and elegance, beautiful upon release or after 10-20 years in the bottle.

Tournesol Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon was first produced in 2011 as an homage to the white wines of the Bordeaux region. Comprised predominantly of zesty Sauvignon Blanc, the addition of Sémillon produces a wine that is fresh and bright with a rich, full-bodied palate. Citrus, gooseberry and passionfruit qualities are balanced by nuances of honey, floral aromatics and minerality, resulting in an elegant and complex wine. We source Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the highly acclaimed Farina Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain. East facing, sunswept and breezy, with well-draining rocky soils, slope and elevation, make this site superb for the Clone 1 and Musque it yields. The balance of Sémillon is grown on small block of 19 rows we have planted at the Tournesol Stream Vineyard.

Tournesol Rosé is made from 100% single-vineyard sourced Grenache. It is cultivated and harvested specifically for our Rosé, picked at lower brix and vinified using a whole cluster, direct press style. This yields a rosé of unmatched elegance and grace with depth, aroma and subtle complexity. The Provisor Vineyard is a storybook, organically farmed, 3 acre estate just outside the town of Healdsburg, in the famed Lytton Springs District. The Tablas Creek clone D Grenache on 110 R rootstock is planted in north-south rows that run down a gently sloping hillside. The Grenache is well suited to the prized red gravely, clay loam soils, and the classic warm days and cool nights of Dry Creek result in bright, fresh fruit that achieves ripeness while preserving acid and tannin, resulting in a spectacular and sophisticated rosé.
