Russian River Valley Current Temperature

The Russian River Valley AVA occupies the geographic center of Sonoma County. Lower-lying riverbeds capture and embrace the waves of coastal fog that roll in every evening. As influential as it is evocative, this foggy mantle cools down the vines to preserve the fruit’s fresh acidity and promote full-flavored development. This area’s diversity of fractured sandstone and sandy loam soils provide optimal ground for cool-climate Burgundian varietals.

Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from the Russian River Valley are considered world class and renowned for its lush fruit and seductive aromatics.
