dough
Dough produces wines across California's diverse terroirs, anchoring its portfolio in two classical expressions: a Brut Rosé built from Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir, and a still Pinot Noir that captures the varietal's silken structure. The winery also works with Cabernet Sauvignon, the region's signature red. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast and Decanter, establishing a presence among prestige critics. The Brut Rosé leads the portfolio in critical reception, reflecting the precision required to balance the three grapes into a cohesive sparkling wine. Across its range, Dough demonstrates the technical discipline California demands—whether in the discipline of méthode champenoise or the careful extraction of Pinot Noir's delicate tannins.
