Our home is Mendocino County. It’s gorgeous here. It’s also rugged, unrelenting, and remote. Just the way we like it.
No one thought this spot could produce world-class Pinot Noir, but through trial and error and an appreciation for the land, we’ve proved them wrong. The distinct qualities of our soil, our landscape, and our unique approach to winemaking give us a truly original product.
Our winery sits atop the ridge in the shadows of Eagle Peak, with views of Mendocino’s coastal range. Converted from a simple redwood barn into a small-lot production facility, we have customized our winery for the production of Pinot Noir.
We love working where we live, and we’re proud to have a product and an environment that are truly our own.
Our focus is on making one thing, and we make it with our own hands-Pinot Noir.
Our process relies more on taste than on traditional lab analysis, and every barrel receives the extra attention it deserves.
We make the wine the way we like it - a more rich, opulent style of Pinot Noir.
(10/1/2015) As co-owner of Masút Vineyard & Winery with his brother Ben, Jake Fetzer has proven that inland Mendocino County, known for Zinfandel, can grow sophisticated Pinot Noir. Jake succeeded in establishing the new sub-AVA of Eagle Peak, and he continues the campaign for greater recognition of the rugged region where his grandfather founded Fetzer Vineyards in 1968.
