Nelson Family Vineyards — Redwood Valley Winery & Tasting Room

Nelson Family Vineyards carries the English-heritage family surname of the Nelson family — their name on a Redwood Valley Mendocino County estate that produces Zinfandel and Petite Sirah from warm interior vineyard blocks where the Russian River influence moderates the summer heat. The Silverado Drive estate sits in the Redwood Valley's most historically significant wine terrain, where the valley's north-south orientation channels cool Pacific air from the coast while the elevation and inland position provide the warmth that Zinfandel and Petite Sirah require.
