About Bennett Valley Cellars
Bennett Valley Cellars is named directly for the Bennett Valley AVA — the small, cool inland Sonoma County appellation between the Sonoma Mountains and Taylor Mountain where morning fog from both the Petaluma Gap and the San Pablo Bay creates unusual cool-growing conditions for an inland valley. The AVA topographic naming declares the estate as an expression of this specific appellation's character.
The Warm Springs Road estate produces Syrah, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir from Bennett Valley estate vineyard blocks that benefit from the appellation's unique combination of inland positioning and maritime fog influence. The cool Syrah in particular has attracted attention as one of California's most unusually restrained and structured cool-climate Syrah programs.
