Reserve Wine

In exceptional vintages, Parducci produces special reserve bottlings from the finest Mendocino County vineyards. These wines, produced in very small quantities, are available for sale only at the winery.

Reserve Merlot
The grapes for this wine came from several vineyards planted on steep sites in the Talmage and Redwood Valley regions of Mendocino County. Through careful vineyard management and clonal selection, these warm-climate, inland valley sites have become a prime source for well-structured, supple Merlot.

Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine is also a blend of selected barrel lots from the benchlands of Talmage and Redwood Valley. The steep slopes and gravelly soils of these vineyards produce Cabernet Sauvignon of great richness and complexity.

Reserve Petite Sirah
The fruit for our Petite Sirah is sourced from some of Mendocino's finest inland valley vineyards. These well-drained benchland sites produce small crops of intensely flavored grapes, enabling us to produce this tooth-staining Petite Sirah.
