Avalon
Avalon produces wines across California's diverse terroirs, drawing on the state's signature varietals. The winery's portfolio centers on three core expressions: a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that anchor its red wine program, and Flint & Steel Sauvignon Blanc, a white that captures the varietal's characteristic aromatics and acidity. These wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff. The Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc both average 90 points across prestige ratings, while the Cabernet Sauvignon averages 89. The lineup reflects California's capacity for both structured reds and vibrant whites, positioning Avalon within a winemaking tradition defined by varietal clarity and regional expression.
