ESSER VINEYARDS embodies what consumers are looking for in a California wine: value, quality and elegance from a family run winery. After his successful turn around of Napa Valley’s CUVAISON winery, Manfred Esser set to work planning his next project - ESSER VINEYARDS. Years of preparation went into the development of the brand. Overseeing every aspect of the project, Esser has achieved his goal of providing consumers with wines of outstanding style and exceptional value. At the helm of ESSER VINEYARDS winemaking is recognized consulting winemaker, Paul Moser. Moser, whose style received praise for eight consecutive years from Robert Parker, breathes a breath of fresh air into the California wine market by consistently fashioning wines that are true to fruit character and of incredible value. Introduced in 2001, ESSER VINEYARDS has already achieved stellar success in the US and international wine market with top placements in Europe, Asia and several other global markets. – Description from Esser

This has a rather fine blend of scrubby underbrush, Ranier cherry and smoky soil. Smells a bit mesquite-y in a floral kind of way. Bright and clear with simple yet fresh and ever so lightly astringent red berry fruit. More raspberry than strawberry thi...

Esser Vineyards Merlot California 2004

Snoothrank:

Drinking it in 2015 it should be well past its peek but quiet the contrary. I cant imagine the peek was much better. A really good wine with rich merlot flavours - a perfect match for a good steak. Read More

Esser Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon California 2009

Snoothrank:

Nettles, black currant and black raspberry on the nose with a hint of roasted herbs and a fine underlay of oak. Rather smooth on entry, and perhaps a touch soft with some significant and extracted tannins. There's some pleasant fruit here, and the wine is nicely dry, but at the same time this is a bit rough with more structure than fruit. Nice h... Read More

With yesterday’s official beginning of summer, it's about time I take a look at some of the white wines we will all be reaching for over the coming months. I know it’s really easy to harsh on Chardonnay, everyone does it -- yours truly included -- but the truth is there's plenty of excellent Chardonnay floating around in today’s market. Some of ...
