History




Vineyards

Simi's unique vineyards are the genesis of our distinct wines. Our warm Alexander Valley Estate Vineyards are planted primarily to red Bordeaux varietals and are the source of Simi's Cabernet Sauvignon. These vineyards encompass nearly 600 acres and possess some of the most diverse soils of any wine-growing region, resulting from eons of geologic activity including a catastrophic landslide which changed the course of the Russian River.

Complementing the Alexander Valley Vineyards, Simi's 120-acre Goldfields Vineyard in the Russian River Valley is the backbone of the Simi Chardonnay. Planted with a wide array of clones and field selections, Goldfields Vineyard is one of the most diverse vineyards in the Russian River Valley and all of California.

Regional Blending

It has been a long standing tradition at Simi to produce the best Sonoma County wines sourcing fruit from top Sonoma County growing regions. Our Sonoma County Chardonnay is blended from grapes grown in the Russian River and Carneros appellations. Simi's Sauvignon Blanc is produced from Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Knights Valley benchland grapes. Simi also produces Zinfandel from the Dry Creek Valley, a world-famous appellation for extraordinary Zinfandel. Looking to the future, Simi Winery will continue its devotion to producing wines of style and quality that reflect the best growing regions in Sonoma County.
