Russian River Valley 
&
Sonoma Mountain

The Russian River Valley, California's most celebrated viticultural area for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, is located about an hour north of San Francisco. Balanced between evening fog intrusion and daytime warmth, this area is paradise for Burgundy varietals and for zippy Zin.

Nearby Sonoma Mountain is a very small AVA, with the east side shielded from fog intrusion, and with elevation keeping nighttime temperatures warmer, growing stunning Bordeaux varietals.
