We here at Stage Left have been big fans of Chris Dearden for many years (since he was GM / COO at Robert Biale Vineyards). It is only recently that we've been able to taste Dearden Wines. In March 2024, we held a tasting at Stage Left at which Chris' wines were very well received. We are thrilled to bring you 8 of Chris' wines.

Owner-Winemaker Chris Dearden found his first introduction to wine as many of us do: around the dinner table amongst family and friends. Raised in an agricultural town in the Central Valley of California.

Over the years, Dearden has worn many hats, working his way from winemaker to winemaker/general manager, consulting winemaker to now achieving his lifelong goal of owning his own vineyard and winery.

Dearden cites his time working with cooperage (Barrel maker) Seguin Moreau as most influential on his winemaking style and abilities; working in tandem with first growths and grand crus allowed for an unobstructed view of the highest level of winemaking possible.

2010 marked the beginning of a new chapter for Chris when he established the Dearden Wines Portfolio which today includes flagship Sleeping Giant Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot noir and Chardonnay, as well as several other wines.

The cornerstone of the brand is Dearden’s Carneros vineyard property which is planted to five different clones of Pinot noir and a small amount of Chardonnay on an 11.6-acre parcel.

Dearden Description

TrainWreck is the perfect introduction to Dearden Wines at a more accessible price point. When you've had a 'TrainWreck' of a day (and who amongst us hasn't had one of those days), the Trainwreck Cab Sauv is an easy drinking Cabernet made with fruit from de-classified Barrels from the various Dearden vineyards.

It exhibits flavors of Dark cherry, red currant, earth, oak and a touch of tobacco. With a medium finish, this wine is meant to drink right away, but could certainly benefit from 2 - 4 years more aging.
