| | The Clendenen Family Vineyards began as a project to bring many of Jim's most artisan and experimental wines to market. All are produced in very small quantities, many of these wines are crafted from unique varietals grown primarily on his organically farmed vineyards in Santa Maria Valley, California. These three jewels from this project are Jim’s best expressions of Chardonnay, Viognier, and Nebbiolo. As always, the hallmark of Jim’s wines is balance. They are really stunning high quality achievements that we think are priced to buy and drink and enjoy with family and friends.
