About Vaughn Duffy Wines
Vaughn Duffy Wines combines the surnames of husband-and-wife co-founders Lauren Vaughn and Matt Duffy — their two names hyphenated into a shared wine identity that declares the partnership as the label's founding principle. Lauren Vaughn's viticultural expertise and Matt Duffy's winemaking experience together produce Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that neither could make alone.
The estate sources from Russian River Valley vineyard sites selected for their maritime influence and site-specific character — the fog-corridor sites where daily Pacific marine air keeps temperatures cool and preserves the natural acidity and aromatic precision that Pinot Noir and Chardonnay require.
Wine Advocate has scored Vaughn Duffy's Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at 92–95 points, recognizing both the quality of the sourcing and the partnership's combined expertise in viticulture and winemaking.
