A Different Kind of Rosé!

For years, we’ve made our Rosé using the traditional saignée method, drawing juice from Pinot Noir destined for red wine and creating a Rosé with generous fruit, texture, and depth.

This vintage, we’re trying something different.

We harvested Pinot Noir specifically for Rosé and sent the grapes directly to the press. With minimal skin contact and fruit picked earlier to preserve its natural acidity, direct pressing gives us the opportunity to explore another expression of Pinot Noir: paler, brighter, more delicate, and wonderfully fresh.

Same vineyards. Same attention to every detail. A completely different path from grape to glass.

One of the joys of winemaking is that even after decades, there is always something new to discover.

We can’t wait to see where this one takes us. 🌸🍇

The West County Plein Air artists recently spent a Tuesday on the estate, and their canvases now hold something we see every day: the light moving through the vines, the gardens settling into late summer, the quiet edges of Quail Hill. Each painting is its own quiet study of this land we get to call home.

Grateful to see it through their eyes.

Sonoma County is deep in harvest, and so is Lynmar.

When the grapes arrive at our crush pad, above the winery, our hard working team sorts and de-stems the clusters before they are either pressed or fermented.

Long days and careful hands. This is where the vintage begins to take shape.

This week, our Chardonnay grapes came in from Susanna’s Vineyard.
Before any machine touches them, Kate, Kenny and the team tread the grapes by foot; an old-world technique that breaks the skins just enough to release juice and color, without cracking the seeds and the bitterness they can bring.

It’s a small, deliberate first step, one that gives us more control over the wine’s flavor and tannin profile from the very start, a tradition most wineries have left behind, but one we still hold onto at Lynmar.

At Lynmar, family isn’t just a word we use; it’s how we work, and it’s why this place feels the way it does.

This week, we came together to celebrate our team, the people who show up for one another every day, through every vintage, in the vineyard, the cellar, the kitchen, and everywhere in between. That kind of care isn’t easy to find, and we know how lucky we are to have it here.

Thank you to every person who makes Lynmar feel like home. We see you, we appreciate you, and we’re grateful to grow alongside you, year after year.

Member Appreciation Month has arrived at Lynmar Estate; a celebration of the collectors who’ve made this Estate part of their story, some for years, some for decades.

For this celebration, we’ve saved the very last bottles of a rare and deeply special wine. Join the Advocates Club by August 27th and enter code FRIENDSHIP at sign-up to discover a special gift waiting for new members with your fall release.

Lynn and Anisya built Lynmar to feel like family, down to the names on the map.

Quail Hill and Hessel carries the land’s own history. Susanna’s Vineyard and Adam’s Vineyard carry theirs. Every vineyard here carries a name tied to family or to the story of the land itself.

There is a difference between a winery and a home. Lynmar has always been family owned and family run; every vine tended with the same care you’d give something that belongs to the people you love.

Have you ever seen the spaceship-like eggs in the Lynmar cellar? These concrete eggs are where some of the Lynmar Chardonnay meets both innovation and tradition.

The eggs act like neutral barrels for our Chardonnay, allowing micro-oxygenation without adding oak flavor. They keep temperature remarkably stable during fermentation, helping yeast work slowly and evenly.

Compared to oak, which can contribute spice and vanilla notes, concrete emphasizes mouthfeel, minerality, and pure fruit expression - so what you taste is Russian River Valley Chardonnay in its most transparent form.

By working with both French oak and concrete eggs, our winemaking team can capture the most expressive version of every individual vineyard and blend.

Early Monday morning was the kick-off to this year’s harvest! Our crew met well before sunrise in Adam’s Vineyard, picking while the fog still hung low.

We start this early so the fruit comes in cool, holding onto its natural acidity before the heat of the day sets in.

Every grape at Lynmar is picked by hand; no machines, just careful eyes and steady hands moving row by row, one cluster at a time.
