First published in 1920, George Saintsbury’s “Notes on a Cellar-Book” has inspired many to experiment widely and to form opinions unaffected by the fashion of the day. Included in those ranks are Mr. Ward and Mr. Graves, who named their winery in honor of Professor Saintsbury.
Wines from Saintsbury Winery
- Saintsbury Chardonnay 2006 Carneros (75cl)
An excellent example of Carneros Chardonnay, notes of pears, apricots and melon are complemented on the palate by richer flavours of vanilla and hazelnuts. Full bodied and creamy, the finish is superb. The ideal wine to drink with rich chicken dishes, especially caesar salads.

- Saintsbury Pinot Noir 2006 Carneros (75cl)
The Saintsbury Winery founded in 1981 is the leading producer of fine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Carneros. Wild complex aromas exude fabulous redcurrant, red cherry, mocha and sandalwood characters alongside a perfectly balanced and seamless palate. This vintage in Carneros was excellent for Pinot Noir featuring a long cool growing season with good maturity, great balance and structure.
Shipping from: - Saintsbury Brown Ranch Chardonnay 2006 Carneros (75cl)
Brown Ranch is the top wine of Dick Ward from Saintsbury, we buy and import his wines ourselves and believe them to be some of the best in the whole of the US of A. Showing a crisp acidity and a burgundy-like minerality, the wine expresses apple, pear and citrus flavours. Having spent seven months in French oak barrels, the wine is then racked to stainless steel tanks along with the fine lees for a further six months, further enhancing the terroir-driven minerality of the Brown Ranch site.
Shipping from: - Saintsbury Garnet Pinot Noir 2007 Carneros (75cl)
A concentrated, rich wine, offering ripe blackberry and black cherry fruit flavours, and a hint of dried herbs on the nose. Firm, concentrated tannins complement the fruit on the palate, giving a wine that is an excellent accompaniment to game.
Shipping from: - Saintsbury Brown Ranch Pinot Noir 2005 (75cl)
Planted on typical Carneros clay, loams and cobbly clay loams, as well as some volcanic soil types on steeper hillsides, the Brown Ranch vineyard offers intensity and personality not found in other Saintsbury wines. An intense and complex nose of raspberry, cherry, violets and smoky oak, the palate is multi-layered with a medium body of ripe fruits, wood influences and spice, development and savoury characters.
