Dark Star
Dark Star produces wines from California that have drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate. The winery's portfolio centers on bold red blends and varietal expressions. Anderson Road, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Petite Sirah, stands as the flagship. Ricordàti, a Bordeaux-style blend of Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, rounds out the upper tier. A Zinfandel completes the core range. The wines reflect California's capacity for ripe, structured reds—from the dark fruit intensity of Shiraz and Petite Sirah to the classical architecture of Bordeaux varieties. Dark Star's approach centers on varietal authenticity and blended complexity across a focused lineup.
