September 2026 Newsletter

Harvest has officially begun at Ambar Estate, marking one of the most exciting times of year in wine country. As we celebrate Labor Day, we’re especially grateful for the dedicated vineyard stewards who work through the year to monitor the vines and hand-harvest the fruit that will become our 2026 vintage. Their skill, care, and commitment are at the heart of everything we do.
