Amapola Creek Lounge

Amapola Creek is the personal estate project of Richard Arrowood, one of Sonoma County's most decorated winemakers, who rose to fame crafting Chateau St. Jean's celebrated single-vineyard wines in the 1970s before founding his namesake Arrowood Vineyards. For his third act, Arrowood turned to a rugged property on the western slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains above Glen Ellen, farming CCOF-certified organic hillside vineyards in rocky volcanic soil.

Catalog note: this listing refers to the same Amapola Creek estate covered in our main Amapola Creek Wines entry; visits and tastings are one and the same operation on the Arrowood family property. The small-batch portfolio centers on estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, including fruit from the famed Monte Rosso Vineyard, plus Russian River Chardonnay, poured at private, laid-back tastings hosted at the rustic barn-styled winery on the Arrowood family property. Vineyard blocks are hand-farmed with native cover crops and minimal irrigation, reflecting five decades of Arrowood's accumulated Sonoma craft.
