Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
and Cabernet Franc, in addition to three red Bordeaux-style
blends. All of the wines are crafted with grapes from the original
Russell Vineyard and other high quality vineyards in Monterey
County and the surrounding area. Guests are welcome to stop
by the cozy European-influenced tasting room in Carmel-by-
the-Sea, where they will find large accordion-style windows
that open onto Mission Street, brining in the sunshine and
fresh ocean air. Visitors may forget they are in California—the
Tasting Room has the distinct feeling of a charming French
café.
