Based by wine legend Rodney Robust, you’ll discover Windsor Vineyards within the city of, nicely, Windsor, a sleepy adjunct to close by Healdsburg. Windsor might be finest identified for the personalised labels it could apply to bottles — the wines we assessment beneath have been each branded with the Drinkhacker title — which might get fairly spectacular in the event you’re prepared to place some effort into the label design. (There’s even hand-etching choices in the event you’re prepared with some coin.)

After all, a reasonably (or distinctive) label is one factor. What about what’s within the bottle? Let’s style these two wines from Drinkhacker! Er… Windsor Vineyards.

2019 Windsor Vineyards Chardonnay Russian River Valley – Oaky however not overblown, there’s a stunning bruleed lemon custard component right here that pairs nicely with the baked apple notes that fill the physique of the in any other case easy wine, mild components of cinnamon lingering on the end. Barely doughy however balanced by its baking spice components, the modest vanilla parts within the wine sweeten up the end simply so. Easygoing, however gratifying and by no means overblown with oak. B+ / $27

NV Windsor Vineyards Brut Rose North Coast – Bone dry, with mild berry and pink flower notes rapidly rising on the palate. Calmly doughy, the wine leans extra closely on its floral notes because it develops (and warms) within the glass. Hints of herbs and a squeeze of lemon peel give the end a way of brightness, but it surely’s invariably on the sunshine, ethereal facet. A superb “welcome to the celebration” wine. B+ / $32
