Plan a wine trip to Pech Merle — Femente builds the route.
Pech Merle is a Sonoma County winery working with the bold varietals of California's North Coast. The house focuses on Zinfandel, a grape that thrives in the region's warm days and cooling maritime influence, yielding wines of ripe fruit and structural depth. The Reserve Lot 9 Zinfandel and Reserve Zinfandel anchor the portfolio, both rated in the low 90s by major critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. A Cabernet Franc rounds out the core offerings, similarly recognized by prestige critics. The winery's work reflects the character of its terroir: wines built on the intensity and texture that define North Coast red wine production.
