Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard has been making European-style, food-friendly, cellar-worthy wines since 1975. We are well-known for making Pinot Noir that can age beautifully for three decades.

Our basic philosophy is that wine should dance with food and make the food/wine experience more than a sum of the ingredients. This means making wines with moderate alcohol and oak so that the true characteristics of the grape varieties are expressed. You won’t find any high-alcohol, jammy, oaky wines here.

Winemaker Jeff Emery
Jeff Emery is the proprietor, winemaker, truck driver, mechanic, wine sales dude, and basically anything else he needs to be to make this small business work. He first came to Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard in July of 1979 and ended up working with Ken Burnap, the winery’s founder, in what can best be described as an old-fashioned apprenticeship. Jeff took over the business in 2002 when Ken retired.

Red ------------- ---	2007 Grenache - Mendocino Appellation: Mendocino Winemaker: Jeff Emery This Grenache is made from vines that are over 100 years old from the McDowell Valley Vineyard in Mendocino County. These gnarly, head-trained vines produce small quantities of grapes loaded with character.

Red ------------- ---	2007 Durif - Mendocino Appellation: Mendocino Petite Sirah Winemaker: Jeff Emery What’s a Durif?! Durif is one of many grape varieties that is grown in the Rhône Valley of France and it is one of the varieties allowed in Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines. Early in the 20th Century cuttings of Durif from the Rhône Valley were shipped to California, but during this process the cuttings were given the name Petite Sirah. There really is no such thing as Petite Sirah in France. Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard has been labeling this variety by its “real” name since 1977.

Red ------------- ---	2006 Branciforte Creek Pinot Noir - Santa Cruz Mtns Appellation: Santa Cruz Mountains Winemaker: Jeff Emery Branciforte Creek Vineyard is located on Jarvis Road in the Vine Hill area of the Santa Cruz Mountains, just a mile away from our well-known Estate Vineyard on the same road. The vines were planted in 1988 in a site that originally had grapes since 1863. This vineyard has low yields of very flavorful fruit year after year. “This is an elixir meant to be loved right now, although it can certainly take a nap in your lovely cedar wine cabinet for a few years or so. This wine wants to dance in y... ...read more Acclaim: “Top Pinot Noirs of the Year” 92 points – Wines & Spirits Magazine, April 2009 Silver Medal – San Francisco Chronicle 2009 Detailed wine information Order form 224 cases produced Question?
