California reds: Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, and Zinfandel from named vineyards.

Jeff Runquist produces wines from California that draw critical attention from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate. The winery's portfolio centers on bold red varieties suited to the region's warm climate. The R Petite Sirah from Salman Vineyard stands as the flagship, a dense and structured wine built on the variety's characteristic dark fruit and peppery spine. The R Petit Verdot offers the structure and tannin grip typical of the variety, while the Z Zinfandel from Massoni Ranch Vineyard captures the ripe, jammy character Zinfandel is known for in California. These wines reflect a focus on single-vineyard expression and varietal authenticity, with each bottling shaped by its specific terroir and the inherent properties of its grape.
