Happy Berserker Day 12! I’m Bobby Moy, co-founder and winemaker at CHIRON. We’re a family owned winery, where every dollar goes to helping us bottle or purchase fruit for the next vintage. We truly value all the support you can give. Chiron is based in Napa and we focus on mountain vineyards. I’ve worked up and down the west coast making wine. A Napa native, I moved back to Napa in 2013 and most recently worked with Joel Aiken, Thomas Rivers Brown, Frederic Delivert and Corey Beck. I now make wine for a few small brands here in the valley. CHIRON is my personal project where I make about 300 cases per year of 100% varietal, vineyard designate wines (we make one blend). My main passion is Grenache, but I also love working with Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. I leave the winegrowing to the vineyard and strive to foster what I feel is the best expression of the site, preferring natural fermentations and no additions (Insert here: “terroir driven” “authentic” “balanced” blah blah blah…yes the wines taste like where they came from and are true to the varietal character…I don’t think I need to spin that record again for this audience). I’m very excited to share these wines and can’t wait for y’all to pop a bottle and tell me your thoughts.

2016 “Virtue and Vice” Napa Valley Red Wine Blend - Four Pack = Regularly $200…offered at $150 : At Chiron we have created wines that express a particular vineyard and vintage. For our 2016 “Virtue and Vice”, we altered this approach and combined wines to create a blend with a wonderful warmth and smoothness while being bright and vibrant. We see this wine as a way to diverge from our single vineyard approach to winemaking, because some of the best wines in the world are blends. For the 2016 vintage we joined together 3 wines, 57% Cabernet Sauvignon from Spring Mountain, 38% Merlot from Howell Mountain, and 5% Petite Sirah. I love the interplay of fruit, spice and texture in this wine. It is made from fruit that goes into other $100+ cuvees…but I offer it at a ridiculously good price, even without todays discount.
