About DeLoach Vineyards
DeLoach Vineyards is one of the Russian River Valley's most historically significant and presently transformed wine estates. Cecil DeLoach co-founded the winery in 1975, building it into one of Sonoma County's largest producers by the 1990s with a focus on Russian River Valley Zinfandel and Chardonnay. In 2003, the Boisset family, one of Burgundy's most prominent wine dynasties, acquired the estate and initiated a dramatic transformation toward biodynamic farming and Burgundian-inspired winemaking that has redefined the property's identity.
Under Boisset's stewardship, DeLoach converted its estate vineyards entirely to biodynamically farmed agriculture, making it one of the largest biodynamic estates in Sonoma County. The winemaking shifted focus to single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that express the nuances of Russian River Valley's diverse benchland and fog-influenced terroir. The estate's OFS (Our Finest Selection) bottlings, drawn from the oldest blocks on the property, represent the pinnacle of the program, concentrated, complex wines that reward years of cellaring.
The tasting experience at DeLoach reflects the Boisset philosophy of wine as culture. Visitors can explore the biodynamic gardens, walk the estate vineyards, and taste through single-vineyard bottlings that demonstrate how dramatically site and farming influence flavor. The property sits on Olivet Road in the heart of the Russian River Valley, surrounded by some of Sonoma's most prized vineyard land. Whether you're a Burgundy lover curious about California's biodynamic movement or a Sonoma regular who hasn't visited since the transformation, DeLoach offers one of the most thoughtful and educational tasting experiences in the Valley.
