With Harvest complete, it’s time to get the vineyard maintained. We are getting the burn piles ready and working the compost piles. Once the compost is ready it gets spread into the vineyard. Winemaking never stops! • #cruxwinery #composting #sonomacounty

Here is a final look at Harvest 2025. The fruit that was brought in looks incredible and it’s always fun to see Steve and Lisa’s pooches helping out. Thanks to Heidi for the film work. • #cruxwinery #wine #winelover #sonomacounty #russianrivervalley

Again, we want to thank you for making our Harvest Lunch such an amazing event. It is a trifecta for sure; the food, the wine, and especially the people. All were amazing and wouldn’t have been the same if any were missing.

Harvest 2025 rolls on as we’ve picked the Grenache from Force Five Vineyard and Crazy Run Ranch. Picked before the recent storm which would have added to the mold that Brian spoke about. Everything is looking good! • #cruxwinery #harvest2025 #grenache #wine

Our 2022 Syrah is a thoughtful blend, 3 Syrah clones from Abramson Ranch combined with 2 from our estate Crazy Run Ranch. The 2022 Syrah is inky and dark, with a gorgeous nose that evokes a bowl of ripe dark fruit. On the palate, blackberry and plum shine, with a touch of earth.
