About Rodrigue Molyneaux Winery
Rodrigue Molyneaux Winery carries the dual French-heritage surnames of two families — the Rodrigue and Molyneaux names joined in a hyphenated partnership label that declares both families' equal accountability for the wines produced under their combined identity. The dual-surname format is the formal European naming tradition for partnerships: neither family subsumed into the other's identity.
The Mines Road estate in the Livermore Valley's eastern reaches produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Tempranillo from Livermore Valley estate vineyard sources where the Diablo Range's hot summer afternoons are moderated by the Delta breezes from San Francisco Bay.
Livermore Valley's Mines Road corridor is one of the appellation's more remote and distinctly agricultural wine corridors — the estate's dual-French-surname identity adding a European heritage layer to the California wine experience.
