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.
