Lake Sonoma Winery
You can’t make great wine from mediocre grapes.
Lake Sonoma Winery is dedicated to creating the ultimate expression of our Sonoma sub-appellation vineyards. Quality over quantity is our guide. The owner, Gary Heck, said, “If in one season the climate is such that the grapes are not to our quality standards, we won’t make Lake Sonoma wine from them.”
Our mission is to produce premium, Sonoma County sub-appellation and vineyard specific wines: Zinfandels and Fume Blanc from Dry Creek Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley and Chardonnay from Russian River Valley.
Our objective is to create the ultimate expression of these sub-appellations: wines possessing excellent structure, desirable fruit flavors, and intriguing complexity.
Raise your expectation. Raise your standards. Lake Sonoma Winery - THE GOLD STANDARD.
– Description from
cpeterson
A very nice cabernet, not too dry or powerful, but with a nice hint of berries. Almost closer to a Merlot, but a great everyday wine to pair with a light meal, something like salmon or a dinner salad.

Snoothrank:
A great zin, reasonably priced. The wine needs to be decanted or it will be too dry. Great taste, great mouth and very complex. We had this with a very spicy Asian shrimp dish and it paired excellent. Read More
