Westwood
Westwood produces wines from Sonoma County's North Coast, a region defined by cool coastal influences and diverse microclimates that shape distinctive fruit character. The winery's portfolio centers on Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, both grapes that thrive in Sonoma's variable terrain. The Legend Cabernet Sauvignon and Founder's Reserve Pinot Noir represent the core of the range, joined by the Elevation Estate Red Blend—a Rhône-style composition of Shiraz, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. These wines have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate. Sonoma County's position between inland valleys and the Pacific creates the temperature gradients that allow Pinot Noir to develop complexity while Cabernet achieves structure and depth. The Elevation blend draws on the region's capacity for warm-climate varieties, offering an alternative expression within the winery's lineup.
