Cirq
Cirq is an acclaimed wine brand based in California’s Russian River Valley, founded by acclaimed winemaker Adam Lee and his partner Diane. Established in 2009, Cirq focuses on producing high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, reflecting the unique terroir of the region. The name "Cirq" is derived from the word "circus," symbolizing the playful and artistic approach the founders take toward winemaking, as well as a nod to their commitment to creating wines that capture the essence of their surroundings.
Cirq’s wines are known for their meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, with a philosophy centered on small-lot production and minimal intervention. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo careful sorting before fermentation, allowing for the expression of the fruit's inherent qualities. The brand’s flagship Pinot Noir expressions are characterized by vibrant fruit flavors, elegant acidity, and a silky texture, often featuring notes of cherry, raspberry, and subtle earthy undertones. The Chardonnays produced by Cirq exhibit a rich, layered complexity, with bright acidity and flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and a touch of oak.
Cirq’s dedication to quality and terroir has garnered critical acclaim, with their wines frequently receiving high scores from wine critics and publications. As part of the growing trend of boutique wineries focusing on specific varietals and vineyard sites, Cirq stands out for its artistic approach to winemaking and commitment to showcasing the beauty of California’s wine regions. Each bottle represents a harmonious blend of tradition, innovation, and a deep respect for the land.
