We came for one tasting and ended up staying most of the afternoon. The patio was relaxed, the staff made us feel completely at home, and we’d absolutely come back.

The Experience
Auclair is best approached as a focused, appointment-oriented Red Mountain specialist rather than a broad lifestyle tasting room. The lineup includes Right Blend, a Merlot-led homage to Bordeaux's Right Bank; Left Blend, a Cabernet Sauvignon-led counterpart; 96 Cedars, old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot releases, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon Blanc from Artz Vineyard. Current first-party material supports appointment-based Saturday tastings, but does not substantiate several older lifestyle claims that had accumulated in the profile.

The relaxed atmosphere encourages conversation, making each tasting both educational and memorable.
