  • Introduction and personal story
    .
    Winemaker Randal Bennett
    I created Townley Wines in 2007 with my lovely partner Lindsay Marie Barnes. After devoting several years to a career in management consulting with a large firm called Accenture, I decided to learn winemaking and start a wine label. I have learned my craft through study and apprenticing under three great winemakers: Thomas Rivers Brown, Mike Smith, and Erich Bradley. While working with Thomas and Mike producing wines for Nicholson Ranch and Schrader Cellars, I gained a strong grounding in top-end wine production, cellar practices, and practical winemaking techniques. My next stop was Sojourn Cellars, where I currently also work as Assistant Winemaker under the tutelage of winemaker Erich Bradley. With Sojourn, I have learned about winegrowing in the vineyards and expanded my knowledge and insight into operations of a world-class custom-crush facility. I continue to rely on these mentors for guidance and friendship. Townley Wines materially benefits from these experiences and relationships.

    2007 Pinot Noir, La Encantada Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
  • Appellation: Santa Rita Hills
  • Winemaker: Randal Bennett
  • Fog and cool winds blow through the Santa Rita Hills surrounding La Encantada Vineyard, making them a perfect location for Pinot Noir. 2007 is a blessed vintage, with wonderful dark cherry flavors, great balance, and lush full body.

    2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
  • Appellation: Napa Valley
  • Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
  • Winemaker: Randal Bennett
  • Rich, smooth, and seductive! 15% Merlot was blended in with 85% Cabernet Sauvignon from three distinct Napa Valley vineyards to produce this classic bold wine with rich dark fruit flavors and full body. Boysenberry, cassis, and hints of tabacco express themselves from the first sniff through the lingering finish.

    2008 Chardonnay, Alder Springs Vineyard, Mendocino
  • Appellation: Mendocino
  • Winemaker: Randal Bennett
  • Bright tropical and citrus aromas are influenced by 1 yr old French oak, resulting in a full body with a touch of minerality, while allowing the natural fruit to dominate flavors. A layer of vibrant acidity keeps this wine fresh and food-friendly.
