Hanzell produces one of the best (if not the best) California aged pinot noir. Their chardonnay is also legendary. Several years ago, Sebella was introduced, a chardonnay so exquisite that it would be drunk before it could be bottled. Located in the newly established Moon Mountain AVA, it has majestic views over Sonoma.

Laurel Glen has been making excellent cabernet sauvignon since 1981 in their Sonoma Mountain vineyards. Counterpoint cabernet sauvignon is a great value wine and the Crazy Old Vine rosé is perfect for summer sipping.

Pax Mahle has done an excellent job making California natural wines accessible to a broader market. With his labels, Pax and Agharta, he offers a wide selection of cool and warm climate wines from a wide variety of popular and enigmatic grapes.

Located in one of the coldest places in Sonoma County, Porter Bass makes very well-balanced, subtle and complex wines: pinot noir, chardonnay and zinfandel. Poco a Poco wines are also fabulous. This is one of California's few Demeter-certified biodynamic properties.

Visit Porter Bass Winery

Porter Creek is a family-owned winery that uses organic methods and is steeped in French winemaking tradition. Although its production is focused mainly on pinot noir, carignan aged wine and George Hill chardonnay also stand out.
