This collection reflects where Addax is today; grounded in our roots, yet continuing to evolve. Every bottle speaks to our commitment to thoughtful farming, careful winemaking, and a standard of quality that doesn’t waver.
Chardonnay
2022 Steiner Vineyard Chardonnay
White peach, toasted crème brûlée, and beeswax rise from the glass. Full‑bodied and polished, the palate moves through lemon curd richness into a long, lingering savory edge that tightens the finish.
96 Points - IWR
2022 Purrington-Rued Vineyard Chardonnay
White peach, honeysuckle, and rose petal lead with lifted aromatics. Creamy in texture with a citrus‑zest snap, it holds a clean line through the finish, leaving the palate refreshed rather than weighted.
93 Points - IWR
Pinot Noir
2022 Radian Vineyard Pinot Noir
Potpourri, brandied cherry, and salty air arrive first. Driven more by tart rhubarb energy than tannin, the palate delivers red fruit with a fine ocean‑spray salinity and a clean, persistent finish.
95 Points - IWR
2022 Laguna Vineyard Pinot Noir
Cherry cola, shiitake mushroom, and clove set a savory‑sweet tone. A medley of cherries and plums fills the palate with a silky tannin weave, carried into a mouthwatering, long finish with bright pull.
94 Points - IWR
Cabernet Sauvignon
2022 Houyi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Blackberry, toasted oak, and allspice lead with composed intensity. Dark plum and plush depth coat the palate like cashmere, while polished tannins keep the frame smooth and warming rather than heavy.

2022 Screw Horn Red Wine
Cassis, black licorice, and red currant signal a dark, confident profile. Full‑bodied with black cherry depth, it finishes long and richly layered, guided by a firm, savory frame.
