Mendocino Ridge Wineries (Back to overview)
The Mendocino Ridge AVA is home to a handful of dedicated vintners and growers who specialize in California Zinfandels. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Riesling are also planted on the sunny mountain tops.
Edmeades Estate Winery
Edmeades Estate Winery is owned by Kendall-Jackson and sources grapes from all over Mendocino County. They are best known for their Zinfandel production from the Mendocino Ridge. Edmeades buys grapes from Zeni and Alden Vineyards for their two outstanding Zins from the AVA.
Drew
Drew is a small wine label that is based in the Mendocino Ridge AVA. The winery focuses entirely on small lots of Pinot Noir and Syrah. Each of the wines is made to reflect the terroir of the vineyards.
Greenwood Ridge Vineyards
In 1973, Greenwood Ridge Vineyards founder Allan Green began revitalizing the forgotten wine industry in the Mendocino Ridge AVA. Green worked long and hard with his fellow growers to gain AVA status for the Mendocino Ridge. He currently makes a number of wines and has a tasting room in the Anderson Valley.
Mariah Vineyards
Owned by Dan and Vicki Dooling, Mariah Vineyards is on the short list of the best Zin vines in the state. The Doolings take a passionate approach to their land and are relentless when it comes to quality. They discard all but the most ripe, flavorful grapes and have an exclusive contract with Brown-Foreman Wines.
