Fodor's Expert Review Graziano Family of Wines

A winemaker who never met a grape he didn't want to transform in the cellar, Gregory Graziano creates wines for four separate labels, one devoted to Burgundian grapes like Pinot Noir, two to Italian varietals, and the last to Zinfandel, Rhône, and a few other types. The winery's oldest Mendocino County vineyard was planted just before Prohibition by Gregory's grandfather. The lineup poured in the downtown Hopland tasting space might include Pinot Gris and Arneis whites and Dolcetto and Nebbiolo reds.
