Picket Fence
Picket Fence produces wines from Sonoma Coast, the cool maritime reach of Sonoma County where Pacific influence shapes the vintage. The winery's portfolio centers on two distinct expressions: a Sauvignon Blanc that captures the region's mineral precision, and red blends anchored in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir—grapes that thrive in Sonoma Coast's variable microclimates. The flagship Top Rail Blend Red draws from Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon, a composition that reflects the winery's approach to the region's structural potential. Wine Enthusiast has rated the portfolio, with the Top Rail Blend Red, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc all receiving recognition. The winery's focus remains on the interplay between Sonoma Coast's cool conditions and the ripening capacity of its primary varieties.
