These beautiful Grenache grapes will become Rosé this year...but in the future as the vines that grow this Grenache become more & more mature they'll be part of Cinder's first ever GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre). The wine will be called "Rowen's Blend"...as a nod to the growing boy who keeps his Mom and Dad on their toes. ...

Visit our website to read Head Winemaker, Melanie Krause's thoughts on the current growing season, irrigation practices and the impact of the intense fire season on our grapes.

Happy to say that one of our newest releases, Cinder's 2020 Laissez Faire Red, has received a Double Gold and 96 Point rating from the Sunset Magazine International Wine Competition.

We think it is pretty cool that one of our most affordable wines is also so highly regarded.

Thanks to our winemaking team for crafting another beautiful vintage from the Snake River Valley.

Grab some for your cellar online!

Meet one the new wines from Cinder... The Cinder 2020 Verdejo is only our second vintage making this variety and production is very limited. The 2020 vintage proves once again that the high desert of the Snake River Valley is a unique terroir that is still revealing her secrets! If you're new to Verdejo come to the winery to learn more.

If you're familiar with this variety or our brand then don't miss out on this beauty of a white wine ..it will go quickly!

Dear Wine Lovers,

In September of 2021 we reached a point that we never thought would be possible back in September of 2006, when Melanie and I were newlyweds starting this adventure with just two barrels of Syrah & the dream of having a successful business (see picture, circa 2008 "ish"...ah so young!).

Due to your amazing support, the hard work of our local growers, the skills of the Cinder Winemaking Team and our wonderful Cinder Winery Associates, we are announcing that the Cinder Wine Club is now at full capacity.

The level of interest in our wines feels sustainable and the timing appropriate to no longer grow the overall number of Memberships in the Cinder Wine Club.

This doesn’t mean that folks can’t continue to bring friends and family to our Tasting Room or enjoy fun public events at our winery, only that we can no longer grow the Cinder Wine Club. We want to continue to provide our Members with the best access to our regular family of wines, our events, great service and limited production vintages & we feel this is the best way to do that.

Interested “Wine Lovers” who would like to join the Cinder Wine Club can be placed on a waiting list if they’d like the opportunity to join the Club in the future. When current Cinder Wine Club Members leave the Club their Membership will become open and available to those on our waiting list, on a first come/first served basis.

We are so grateful that all of you continue to spread the word about our wines as we explore the Snake River Valley, or as we like to call it… “The Next Great American Wine Region”.

Much Love,

Joe Schnerr
Founder
