A small producer of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Petite Sirah and Zinfandel from the Russian River Valley. The Paul family began welcoming visitors to the Russian River Valley with apples and apple juice. With time, apple bins gave way to grape bins and the rustic farm stand was transformed into a more modern tasting room facility (open Friday through Monday 10:00 through 4:30).

The Pinot Noirs from the 2006 and 2007 vintage took home a slew of medals at the 2010 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. The 2007 Graton Ridge Cellars Paul Family Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir was the Red Sweepstakes winner.
