County Overview Location: Mendocino County is part of California s famous North Coast wine region. Directly north of Sonoma County, Mendocino County begins about 90 miles north of San Francisco. The Mendocino wine region is bounded by California s Coastal Mountain Range, the Pacific Ocean, and the great northern redwood forests. Geographic Features: Mendocino s vineyards are divided among several small Mayacamas and Coastal Range mountain valleys, following the drainages of the Russian and Navarro Rivers. Vineyards rise from the river plains, onto the benchlands above. Grape Harvest Months: September-October Average Summer Temperature Range: 45-95 F Average Rainfall: 36.6 inches (in Ukiah) Average Growing Season: 225 days First Vineyards Planted: 1850s Total County Acreage: 2,248,000 Total Vineyard Acreage: 15,500 Number of Vineyards: 340 Certified Organic: 25% of total vineyard acreage Number of Wineries: 50 Principal Varietals: Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc Gewürztraminer Riesling Zinfandel Cabernet Sauvignon Pinot Noir Petite Sirah Syrah Viognier Anderson Valley (BATF Approved Viticultural Area) McDowell Valley (BATF Approved Viticultural Area) Potter Valley (BATF Approved Viticultural Area) Cole Ranch (BATF Approved Viticultural Area) Redwood Valley (BATF Approved Viticultural Area) Yorkville Highlands (pending BATF approval) Ukiah Valley (proposed viticultural area) Sanel Valley (proposed viticultural area) Mendocino Ridge (BATF Approved Viticultural Area) Page 148
Appellation Overview Vineyards in the Redwood Valley AVA sit about 200 feet higher in elevation than those along the Russian River, further downstream in Ukiah and Hopland. Accordingly, the climate of this upland valley is slightly cooler, furthered by a gap in the coastal ridge which allows cool Pacific air currents to penetrate. These conditions lead to a gradual ripening of fruit that makes Redwood Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Barbera and Petite Sirah refined and complex. The notable red soil of the area also provides depth of color and flavor to the wines. The earliest vineyards in Mendocino County were planted here among the ancient redwoods by Italian immigrants, although this area did not gain official appellation status until 1997. Page 9
