Best Red Blend in Sonoma County
Red blends are where Sonoma County's winemakers show their creativity, combining varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot into wines that are often greater than the sum of their parts. Inspired by Bordeaux tradition but shaped by California's fruit-forward terroir, these blends range from structured and age-worthy to lush and immediately drinkable.
The wineries below are Sonoma County's top red blend producers — explore their offerings to find bold, complex wines that showcase the art of blending.
