Armida
Armida produces wines from Sonoma County's North Coast region, drawing on vineyard sites that express the area's diverse terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: Gap's Crown Vineyard Chardonnay, Chalone Vineyard Grenache, and Stuhlmuller Vineyard Block 8 Cabernet Sauvignon. The Chardonnay and Grenache have each earned 93-point ratings from prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from a specific block selection, achieved a 92-point rating from the same panel. These wines reflect the winery's focus on single-vineyard bottlings across classic and alternative varieties suited to Sonoma's maritime-influenced climate. The range demonstrates technical precision across white and red expressions, with particular attention to site-specific character.
