Fetzer
Fetzer produces wines from Mendocino County in California's North Coast, a region defined by coastal influence and diverse microclimates. The winery's portfolio centers on red blends and single varietals drawn from the area's signature grapes. Crimson Winemaker's Favorite Red Blend combines Zinfandel, Shiraz, and Petite Sirah into a wine rated 91.0 by prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff. The Reserve Bien Nacido Pinot Noir, rated 89.0, reflects the elegance and structure Pinot achieves in cooler coastal sites. Coro Mendocino, rated 89.6, rounds out the core range. These wines show the character of Mendocino County—ripe fruit, balanced acidity, and the textural depth that comes from the region's volcanic and alluvial soils.
