Ventana

Ventana operates in Arroyo Seco, a cool-climate pocket of Monterey County on California's Central Coast. The region's maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings shape wines of precision and balance. The winery's Sauvignon Blanc expresses the aromatic, high-acid character the variety brings to cooler sites, while its Chardonnay reflects the textural complexity Central Coast fruit can achieve. Due Amici, a Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon blend, demonstrates the winery's approach to structured red wines. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated Ventana's portfolio, with Due Amici earning particular recognition at 90 points average.
