Garnet Vineyards

With so many wineries in Napa and Sonoma County it is difficult to decide which ones are worth your visit and which ones you can let slip under the rug. Being a wine enthusiast myself I come across this question quite often, but with different circumstances. To me, I would love to visit every winery; it is just a matter of which to visit first. One of the defining factors I evaluate is the unique characteristics of each winery. Garnet Vineyards is one of the unique few that has control over every aspect of their winemaking. From planting their vineyards to the bottling process, they do it all. Garnet owns four vineyards in the Sonoma area, three of which are located in the Carneros AVA while the other is located in the Sonoma Coast AVA. The Sonoma coast vineyard sits between Sonoma and Petaluma and is exposed with both wind and fog from the Pacific Ocean. The three vineyards in the Carneros AVA have different slope levels, different terrace structures and a different soil, giving each grape a different taste. Due to the different climates and growing atmosphere of each vineyard, Garnet has plenty of varietals to work with. It is the cool climate, wind and fog which sets their wine apart from many others and categories their Pinot Noir as one of the best. I highly recommend you place Garnet Vineyards at the top of your wine bucket list. It will be an experience you will not forget.
