In the heart of Sonoma County, this small, family-owned winery offers a remarkable portfolio for wine lovers drawn to California's unique wine country experience. Specializing in old-vine, vineyard-designated Zinfandels and red Rhône and Spanish varieties—including Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Petite Sirah—their wines capture the character and depth of these heritage grapes. They also produce three distinctive white wines, two of which are crafted from historic, old-vine vineyards, alongside Sonoma County’s first-ever Grüner Veltliner.

Committed to bold, intensely flavored wines that reflect both their vintage and vineyard origins, the winery’s approach emphasizes balance, complexity, and nuance. Each bottle embodies their philosophy of doing just enough to enhance the fruit’s natural qualities while striving to deliver exceptional, accessible wines at a fair price.

Carmel Road Winery

Where vines meet ocean winds, where foothills meet the valley, and where a tranquil state of mind intersects with artisan style, lies Carmel Road Winery.

Situated inland from Monterey’s rugged coastline, yet still influenced by the ocean’s relentless presence, Carmel Road Winery crafts vibrant Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc that capture the essence of this unique region and California's coastal vineyards.

Drawn to the area two decades ago by the combination of cool, foggy nights and warm, sunny days that perfect the ripening of fruit, Carmel Road Winery has embraced what was once considered too cool for vineyards. Today, Monterey is recognized as one of California's premier growing regions. The winery's sustainably farmed vineyards span across windswept benchlands, where the maritime climate and well-drained, alluvial gravel soils yield highly expressive wines. Carmel Road's inaugural vintage was released in 1999.

A back road stretches from the town of Carmel by the Sea, passing through the Arroyo Seco and scenic gaps in the Santa Lucia hills, linking the inland growing region to the ocean. This winding trail inspired the winery’s name, Carmel Road.

The only wine of Carol's we have enjoyed is her Wild Thing Zin. “Wild Thing” is named for its attitude and uninoculated or “wild” yeast ferment is used to create it. Black raspberry fruit, vibrant and alive in both the nose and mouth, nice oaky-smokiness, hit of black pepper. Smoothly textured in mouth, the finish is long and lushly jammy fruit—dangerously good! Looking forward to visiting and trying her other wines soon.

Carter Cellars

Carter Cellars produced their first vintage in 1998 with the help of veteran Winemaker Nils Venge. Since then they have had a string of fantastic releases and highly rated wines. Their focus has long been big Napa Cabernet, Merlot and Blends. They now focus on Vineyard Designate Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Blends from the famous Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville and the steeply terraced Hossfeld Vineyard in Soda Canyon. The Carter Cellars wines are all deeply extracted and highly nuanced with bright fruit and intense structure that can be appreciated young, but will reward patience in the cellar.
