Ranchero

California winery crafting Carignan, Viognier, and Rhône-style rosé.

Ranchero produces wines from California that have drawn attention from major critics. The winery's Carignan—a varietal known for its dark fruit intensity and mineral backbone—stands as its highest-rated expression. A Viognier rounds out the portfolio, the white grape lending its characteristic stone fruit and floral notes. The Galaxie Rosé, a blend of Mourvèdre and Counoise, offers the structure and complexity those southern Rhône varieties bring to dry rosé. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have both assessed the winery's offerings, reflecting its place in California's diverse wine landscape.
