Nestled in the southern reaches of Alexander Valley, Roth’s home vineyard is comprised of gentle rolling hills. The low-vigor, volcanic-based soil shapes Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines of intensity, depth and concentration.

Nearby lowland sites adjacent to the Russian River provide zesty, citrus flavors and rich, elegant textures for Sauvignon Blanc. Heading west to the heart of the Petaluma Gap, cool-climate Sonoma Coast sites produce rich, ripe Chardonnay and elegant Pinot Noir with vibrant acidity.

Under the dedicated direction of winemaker Jesse Katz and  renown consultant David Ramey, Roth wines are crafted to produce the most authentic expressions of the vineyard sites where the grapes are grown.

The grapes are harvested block-by-block to allow full-flavored and well-balanced development. The red wines are cold soaked in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks and then gently brought to room temperature to encourage flavor and color extraction This traditional technique further enhances the wines’ unique expression of site.

Extended maceration following fermentation encourages greater extraction of flavors and structural development. Once maceration is complete, the wines are aged in seasoned French oak barrels. To develop balance and complexity, an array of coopers is used. Prior to bottling, the wines are gently clarified, followed by gentle filtration to maintain authenticity, expression and character.
