Mendocino

Located just north of Sonoma, Mendocino County’s vineyards are particularly famous for their great sparkling wine grown in the Anderson Valley appellation. With a diverse set of climate and soil types, however, Mendocino produces its fair share of other varieties as well, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc all prospering. Redwood Valley AVA, in the northeaster corner of Mendocino’s wine country, is particularly good for warm-weather varieties. Northern Mendocino is heavily forested and is unsuitable for viticulture, so all the major wineries, even those within Redwood Valley, are concentrated in the southern half of the county.
