Varietals

A Wine For Every Palate.

Over 70% of the wine grapes grown in the Russian River Valley are from two varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Why? To put it simply, the region was made for growing these two cool-climate varieties…and the proof is in the glass. 

Breaking it Down

In addition to our Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, our winegrowers love taking a cool-climate appraoch to growing many other classic grape varieties including Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and others.
