Berryessa Gap

California winery exploring Durif, Zinfandel blends, and aromatic whites.

Berryessa Gap produces wines across California that have drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast. The winery's portfolio centers on distinctive varietals and blends. Gozar! White, a Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blend, leads the range. The Durif—a single varietal expression of this lesser-known grape—offers an alternative to mainstream California reds. The Sire, a blend of Zinfandel, Shiraz, and Petite Sirah, rounds out the core offerings. Each wine reflects the winery's willingness to work beyond conventional California categories, pairing traditional grapes with less common varietals to create layered, textured wines.
