About Tres Sabores Winery

Tres Sabores Winery is a dedicated estate winery in historic Rutherford sub-appellation celebrated for the "Rutherford dust" tannin character, producing wines that reflect the character of deep gravelly loam soils and the signature Rutherford bench. Julie Johnson's 1999 Rutherford organic farm estate — the most organically integrated and community-personally-connected. The estate's commitment to quality viticulture and site-specific winemaking has earned Tres Sabores Winery a respected place among the region's most consistent and genuinely food-friendly producers.

The Rutherford growing environment shapes everything Tres Sabores Winery produces. Deep gravelly loam soils and the signature rutherford bench define the estate's vineyard character, contributing the structure, natural acidity, and terroir specificity that distinguish the finest wines from this appellation. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot form the backbone of the portfolio, with each variety expressing a distinct facet of the estate's unique growing conditions. Winemaking at Tres Sabores Winery prioritizes transparency and balance over extraction, allowing the appellation's natural character to lead rather than winemaker intervention.

Visitors to Tres Sabores Winery can expect a genuine and unhurried tasting experience that reflects the estate's commitment to quality and hospitality. The tasting room provides an authentic introduction to the estate wines and the Rutherford appellation. Whether visiting for a focused flight or a deeper exploration of the estate's vineyard programs, Tres Sabores Winery offers the kind of direct producer experience that wine tourism in California wine country is built on — knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely connected to the land and the wines it produces.

Tres Sabores WineryTres Sabores Winery is the most organically integrated and genuinely agriculturally embedded wine estate in the Rutherford AVA.
Julie Johnson —Julie Johnson — who established the South Whitehall Lane property in 1999 with a conviction that the most meaningful wine estate should be a fully integrated organic farm rather than a monoculture vineyard — produces estate Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon from a Rutherford property whose goats, chickens, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and beehives surround the vineyards in a genuinely diversified organic farm environment.
The Tres SaboresThe Tres Sabores philosophy — reflected in the Spanish name meaning 'three flavors' or 'three tastes,' referencing the layers of agricultural diversity that the organic farm integrates — produces wine of genuine organic estate character and community-spirit warmth.
