V. Vineyards
V. Vineyards draws from Sonoma County's North Coast terroir to craft Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon of measured ambition. The Aurae Chardonnay, rated 94 by prestige critics including Decanter and Wine Advocate, anchors the portfolio with the varietal's signature balance of richness and acidity. Two Cabernet expressions—a Single Vineyard bottling (93 rating) and the core Cabernet Sauvignon (92.5)—reflect the region's capacity for structured, age-worthy reds. Sonoma County's maritime influence and volcanic soils support both the precision expected of cool-climate Chardonnay and the dark fruit intensity Cabernet demands. The winery's focus narrows to these core varieties, each assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff alongside other major critics.
