OVERVIEW

Sutro is a limited production of premium terroir-driven wine from historic Warnecke Ranch & Vineyard located on Chalk Hill Road in the Alexander Valley. For this single-vineyard Cabernet and Merlot project we practiced minimal intervention winemaking to honor the unique terroir of undulating hills at the edge of the Russian River. Established in 1911, Warnecke Ranch and Vineyard was planted to Bordeaux varietals by famed architect John Carl Warnecke in 1972. Building on five generations of land stewardship, Alice Warnecke Sutro and winemaker Eliot Sutro launched Sutro Wine Co. in 2012 with carefully selected portions of the vineyard.
