What is the Santa Cruz Mission brand?

Santa Cruz Mission is a range of wines produced by the Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA in California.

Winemaker Randall Grahm founded the vineyard in 1979 and produced the first vintage of Santa Cruz Mission in 1981 with only 11 barrels of Chardonnay.

His early success with white wines led to a focus on Zinfandel, the grape for which the winery would become best known.

The majority of Santa Cruz Mission's wines are made from grapes grown in the Santa Cruz Mountains, with some sourced from other California vineyards.

The winery's Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel wines are particularly noteworthy.

Santa Cruz Mission wines are known for their distinctive flavour and complexity, which many critics have praised.

The brand is committed to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Santa Cruz Mission is a well-respected and award-winning winery that has consistently produced exceptional wines for more than 40 years.

As a result, it has gained a loyal following of wine enthusiasts who appreciate its dedication to quality and commitment to sustainable farming practices.

Santa Cruz Mission wines can be found at retail stores and restaurants in California and beyond and can be purchased online from wineries.
