About Flambeaux Wine
Flambeaux Wine carries a torch, literally, from New Orleans to the Dry Creek Valley. Three generations of the Murray family split their life between Louisiana, where they practice environmental law, and a hillside estate northwest of Healdsburg, where they grow and bottle limited-production wine. The name comes from the flambeaux, the dancing torchbearers of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, a symbol of tradition, light and joy, and the family's idea of passing the torch from one vintage to the next.
The estate Flambeaux Vineyard climbs an east-facing hillside with iron-rich, gravelly soils and views toward Geyser Peak. Winemaker Ryan Prichard, who came to wine after a tech career and stints at Williams Selyem, Copain and Three Sticks, crafts the wines to show the site, led by an estate Dry Creek Zinfandel and a Cabernet that has earned 94-plus points, alongside a Sonoma Coast Chardonnay and a rose.
Visits are by appointment and built around the view. The Agricultural Experience is a bespoke, seasonal tasting on the patio overlooking Dry Creek Valley, showcasing the estate wines and Founder's Library selections in a casual, welcoming setting.
