ONWARD 2017 Redwood Valley Zinfandel
The aromas of red cherry and cranberry jump out of the glass, followed by fresh cranberry sauce with orange and red currant jelly, with a subtle hint of raw pink peppercorn dancing about.
This wine is about the vibrant and fresh side of Zinfandel, low alcohol with bright red notes on the palate and a striking garnet color in the glass. She is exciting, refreshing and adventurous, breaking down barriers and bringing people together, brightening the day of all who meet her.
ONWARD 2020 Mendocino Nouveau Style Zinfandel, 100% Whole Cluster
This wine was inspired by 2020.
Here I give you my version of a silver lining. Beauty can come out of a situation of a silver lining. Beauty can come out of a situation that was 100% a whole cluster...Onward!
This is the first of the vintage and it is loaded with aromas of red cherry and cranberry jump out of the glass, followed by fresh cranberry sauce with orange and red currant jelly, with a subtle hint of raw pink peppercorn dancing about.
This wine is about the young and fresh side of wine. She is exciting, fresh and adventurous, breaking down barriers and bringing people together, brightening the day of all who meet her.

ONWARD WINES are single-vineyard, site-driven wines where the vineyard sites are very special to me. I am a true believer in personal connection and there is a story behind each vineyard site and how it came to be part of my portfolio. In these stories you will learn more about the people behind these vineyards. I liken my connection to these vineyards to that of one’s favorite shirt or coffee mug or chair. Like a well worn fabric or a slightly chipped mug that may have initially caught my eye for its beauty, but over the years it has won my heart because it just feels right. When it comes to vineyards this happens too, and it is a combination of my connection with the vines themselves and my connection with those that tend them. For me the growers hands are most definitely part of the terroir. (winemaker Faith Armstrong Foster)
My style is about letting the vines speak. They are the art, I am the canvas, my job is to give them a chance to share their beauty in each and every vintage. My decisions are driven from the vineyard and the vintage, my cellar practices are to uphold the truths I find in the vineyard. To this end I pick early looking for balance of flavors at lower ripeness, as I find this is when each vineyard is in its most unique expression of self.
