Ancient Oak Cellars

Ancient Oak Cellars produces wines from Sonoma County in California's North Coast region. The winery focuses on two principal varieties: Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Its Berger Vineyard Alcaeus, a Cabernet Franc, and its Kent Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay both represent the winery's core output, alongside a bottled Chardonnay. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated these releases. Cabernet Franc in Sonoma County tends toward bright red fruit and herbal notes, while the region's Chardonnay expresses the cool-climate characteristics typical of North Coast viticulture—crisp acidity and mineral structure. Ancient Oak Cellars' portfolio reflects the dual strengths of its terroir.
