NAPA, Calif., April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As warm weather marks the beginning of al fresco dining season and increased white wine consumption, CK Mondavi and Family today announced their first vintage made by Randy Herron, who joined the company as Head Winemaker during the beginning of harvest in September 2018. These current new releases of Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are perfect accompaniments to any spring meal.
"Delicious, complex, everyday wines have long been the tradition at CK Mondavi and Family," said Randy Herron, head winemaker, CK Mondavi and Family. "My goal is to continue that legacy, crafting high-quality yet approachable wines that overdeliver for their price point. These wines show off the beautiful fruit both from our family-owned vineyards and the trusted growers we've been working with for decades."
Herron works closely with third generation proprietor Marc Mondavi to craft the fruit-forward wines, drawing on his 25 years of experience with significant wine companies in Texas, Australia and California. Sourcing from the family's 1,850 acres of vineyards, as well as partnering with long-term family growers, the 2018 CK Mondavi and Family Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are bright and balanced to pair with the fresh foods of the season. The family also produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a Red Blend. All CK Mondavi and Family wines sell for a suggested retail price of $6.99.
