United States: California: North Coast: Sonoma County: Russian River Valley

Nestled in the heart of Sonoma County's Russian River Valley, Gary Farrell Winery has been a pioneer in producing small-lot, single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay since its inception in 1982. The winery maintains collaborative relationships with many esteemed growers, sourcing grapes from renowned vineyards such as Rochioli, Allen, Bacigalupi, and Hallberg. Emphasizing elegance, balance, and site specificity, the winemaking team, led by Winemaker Brent McKoy, continues to craft wines that authentically express the unique terroir of each vineyard.
