    Rosenthal – The Malibu Estate vineyards are five miles from the world-renowned beaches, at over 1,500 feet elevation in a sun-kissed valley. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Meritage, and Chardonnay are produced from our 28-acres of vineyards on our 250 acre estate in Malibu – Newton Canyon. No expense is spared to produce world-class wine from these estate grown grapes.

    Winemaker Christian Roguenant
    Christian Roguenant, one of the Central Coast’s premiere Winemakers, produces Rosenthal-The Malibu Estate wines. His hands-on approach to wine making has gained him notoriety with critics and consumers alike.
    Christian was immersed in the world of wine as a child where he lived in several small villages and cities in Burgundy, France. After years of exposure from wine growers and winemakers, Christian knew his destiny.
    He enrolled at the University of Dijon to study winemaking and enology. After graduation, he continued his education with one year of wine marketing, opening doors to many opportunities.
    He was at the prestigious house of Champagne Deutz for two years before recruited to start a new endeavor in California’s Central Coast at Maison Deutz. The wines received critical acclaim in the marketplace during his twelve-year tenure.
    Shortly afterward, the winery changed ownership. Christian stayed on as winemaker and later President of Laetitia the new label whose focus was on wines from small lots of vineyard designated still wines. Christian attained even greater recognition from the Laetitia label. Wine Spectator featured him as one of the winemakers to watch.
    Christian began making Rosenthal-The Malibu Estate wines with the 1997 vintage Cabernet Sauvignon. He continues to develop and refine our future vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Meritage, and Chardonnay, along with our Surfrider wines.

    Merlot "The Devon Vineyard"
  • Appellation: Malibu-Newton Canyon
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
  • Winemaker: Christian Roguenant
  • Low-yield hillside fruit contributes to a richness and complexity not seen in “standard” Merlots. A full yet supple wine, with hints of black cherry, plum, mocha, exotic spices, and a kiss of oak. Bright berry fruit, elegant mid-palate, and a lingering finish, with refined, well-integrated tannins.

    2004 Meritage
  • Appellation: Malibu-Newton Canyon
  • Unspecified
  • Winemaker: Christian Roguenant
  • This is our third release of our Meritage (by definition, a blend of two or more of the classic Bordeaux grapes). Cabernet Franc from our top vineyard blocks adds a rich, spicy complexity to this wine, balanced with select percentages from our blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The first two releases were great successes, and we feel this is a very worthy heir.

    2007 Chardonnay
  • Appellation: Malibu-Newton Canyon
  • Winemaker: Christian Roguenant
  • 2007 was a cool year, with harvest two weeks later than usual. We picked the fruit based on our desired flavor profiles and delivered some very flavorful, bright, and floral Chardonnay. The cool ripening period provided slow even ripening and optimal flavor maturity. A very elegant, medium-bodied wine, exhibiting nuances of pear, apple, Meyer lemon, and tropical fruit, with a subtle hint of creamy vanilla from French oak aging. The fresh, lingering finish is rich and complex. Not your usual Cali... ...read more
