Russian River Valley
Russian River Valley’s signature fog-cooled climate results in Chardonnay with bright fruit character and balanced acidity. As the largest appellation in Sonoma County, Russian River Valley also contains the largest soil diversity.
Our Chardonnay sites are located primarily on the well-drained gravel soils closest to the river. Vino Farms, Bialla Family Vineyards and Cal Plans all share soils that have been eroded by the ebb and flow of a river channel that has been active for more than a millennium. These Russian River Valley vineyards, with their slowly maturing vines, deliver wines with intense Fuji apple aromas and flavors balanced by crisp acidity and intriguing mineral notes on the finish.
