Old Vine Ranch is home. To dusty vineyard summers, where ancient gnarled vines stand like sculptures, their shadows stretching across the oak-studded California hills. To wild-hearted days of blackberry picking, afternoon swims, and riverside campfire cookouts. Our laughter and music spilling from the open windows of Dad’s 1949 flatbed Ford pickup as it rumbled along the winding country roads.
To autumn’s golden bustle, the faded barn where my father’s strong hands stained purple as he blended Zinfandel and Petite Sirah in search of balance and boldness. His work was his play, driven by passion and purpose, awed by the alchemy of transforming pure fruit and honest effort into something simply beautiful.
To gathering around the family table, glasses raised high, and marveling at life’s enduring joys – treasures found, meals shared, and stories told. It’s been over 40 years since Old Vine Red was born from grit, grace, and bounty – a father’s dream turned California classic.
That spirit lives on today in four Old Vine Ranch wines: our iconic Red Blend, a robust Cabernet Sauvignon, a juicy Rosé, and a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Because when you get it right, you stick to it. Easy everyday pleasures – as rich and vivid as a sun-drenched memory.
Come on home.
Growing up, I learned the magic of seeking out simple pleasures. Our family dinners were always delicious and uncomplicated, my dad serving a wine he specially blended in the cellar to match the flavors on the plate. This wine is the result of that passion: a supple, rich expression of sun and earth, with plenty of structure and balance. The original red blend, Old Vine Red continues to celebrate California, creativity and most of all, family and friends.

The Old Vine Ranch is hidden at 1,000 feet elevation within the remote Mayacamas Mountain range in the heart of Northern California’s coastal wine country. The rugged, sprawling site includes field blend vines dating back to the 1880s, creating a deep connection to California’s storied winemaking heritage.
The Family’s winemaking philosophy is rooted in making honest, expressive wines that are balanced, bold, and utterly delicious – an homage to the historic field blend vineyards of California, made with passion and purpose, over-delivering as only a family wine can.
What began over 40 years ago as Old Vine Red continues the legacy with four Old Vine Ranch wines: the iconic Red Blend, a robust Cabernet Sauvignon, a juicy Rosé, and a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Each wine is crafted to be an easy, everyday pleasure – rich, vivid, and beautifully built.
“One of California’s iconic wine values.”
-Robert Parker
“Aside from being absolutely delicious, these wines offer superb value to the consumer, something that is getting harder and harder to find. I can’t recommend these wines highly enough.”
– Antonio Galloni
“It’s immediately evident how much Old Vine Red trumps mass-market competitors that cost only a couple of bucks less. It tastes like classic old-fashioned California table red, robust in that Zinfandel way, but a far cry from the generic and sugary confections against which it competes.”
– Jon Bonné, The New California Wine
