Region Profile: Russian River Valley is one of Sonoma County’s most celebrated appellations, shaped by cool Pacific fog that moves inland through the Petaluma Gap and river corridors. This cooling influence extends the growing season and preserves acidity while allowing full flavor development. Soils range from sandy loam to alluvial and volcanic deposits, contributing to aromatic complexity and texture.
