Tim and KandyTim and Kandy Ward — who escaped the Silicon Valley technology industry more than two decades ago to search for their own piece of California wine country — found Pine Mountain Road above Cloverdale and recognized immediately that the 2,000-foot elevation, panoramic views, and volcanic soils of what would become the Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak AVA represented something genuinely unusual in California viticulture.

The winery takesThe winery takes its name from Bob Dog, Tim and Kandy's beloved companion who accompanied them on the journey from Silicon Valley to Sonoma County.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Sky Pine Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak / Sky Pine Estate
BobDog's flagship — estate Cabernet from 15 acres of Sky Pine Vineyards at 2,000 feet on Pine Mountain, concentrated and structured from the mountain's volcanic soils and the low yields that steep terrain naturally enforces. The wine that best demonstrates what the AVA's highest winery consistently produces.

Merlot
Estate Merlot
Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak / Sky Pine Estate

Cabernet Franc
Estate Cabernet Franc
Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak / Sky Pine Estate
