Greenwood Ridge Vineyards - Current Wines

             

 

           

 

 

Pinot Gris
Our Pinot Gris has an underlying earthy, slate-mineral-like component that serves to push the dry grapefruit and orange flower fruitiness forward. The grapes come from Filigreen Farm in Anderson Valley, near Boonville.

Award Winning Wines

Sauvignon Blanc
To attain complexity and balance in our Sauvignon Blanc we use a combination of warm barrel fermentation and cool tank fermentation, and we blend in a good portion of Semillon, which also comes from the Meyer Vineyard near Boonville in Anderson Valley.


White Riesling
Since the 1980 vintage, we have been known for our consistently firm, crisp, off-dry Mendocino Ridge estate bottled White Riesling. The sugar/acid balance of the Riesling is an ideal match for exotic spicy dishes such as Indian curry and Szechuan prawns.

Late Harvest White Riesling
In rare years in which climatic conditions on Greenwood Ridge permit optimum formation of Botrytis cinerea, the "noble rot" that helps concentrate flavors, we produce limited quantities of this remarkable dessert wine from estate grown grapes, with residual sugars from 15 to 25%. The wine style rivals the finest German Trockenbeerenauslese.


Pinot Noir
We are proud of our contribution to Anderson Valley's reputation as a world class Pinot Noir region, and with the release of our Mendocino Ridge estate bottled Pinot Noir we offer our own version of that elusive "perfect" Pinot Noir.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Estate grown and bottled, our Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, intensely flavored wine with spicy flavors unique to our Mendocino Ridge vineyard. The low pH and high natural acidity ensure that it will continue to mature in the bottle for many years.

Zinfandel
With grapes from the 95-year-old Scherrer Vineyards near Healdsburg in Sonoma County we produce Zinfandel with incomparably lush fruit, two vintages of which have made the Wine Spectator's list of The Top 100 Wines of the Year.

Merlot
The soil and climate of Greenwood Ridge combine to create the perfect environment for estate produced Merlot grapes, yielding a consistently soft and elegant wine which pairs perfectly with a wide range of meat dishes.
