Named for the native California Gray Pine which is prevalent in our area, Gray Pine Winery is a small, limited-production winery located in Penn Valley, California, in the Sierra Foothills, with an annual production of approximately 350 cases.  We grow our own grapes on our two-acre vineyard and make our own wines. Specializing in Bordeaux varietals, we produce Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.  We also have a very small amount of Sauvignon Blanc. We believe that fine wine is best enjoyed with fine meals and our winemaking focus is on food-friendly wines with balanced acid and tannins, in the classic Bordeaux style.  We currently feature our first vintage - 2011 reds, and have just released our 2012 reds.  Wines from both vintages are available for purchase at our Tasting Room.

We're very pleased to announce that all four of the wines we entered in the California State Fair commercial wine competition earned medals.  The 2011 Red Blend and Cabernet Sauvignon received bronze medals, as did the 2012 Red Blend.  The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon received a silver medal.
