Nalle
Nalle produces Zinfandel and Pinot Noir in Sonoma County's North Coast region. The winery's Reserve Zinfandel and Hopkins Ranch Pinot Noir have both earned recognition from Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Spectator. Zinfandel, the region's signature varietal, shows the dark fruit intensity and spice characteristic of Sonoma's hillside vineyards. The Hopkins Ranch Pinot Noir reflects the cooler coastal influences that shape the county's expression of this temperamental grape. Nalle's core Zinfandel rounds out the portfolio, offering the varietal's hallmark structure and depth at a broader price point. The winery's focus on these two grapes—one rooted in California tradition, the other in precision viticulture—anchors its work in Sonoma County's distinctive terroir.
