Navarro Vineyards
Ted Bennett and Deborah Cahn left the San Francisco Bay area and bought a 900-acre sheep ranch in Anderson Valley in 1973. The next year they began planting white varietals (they were Alsatian wine fanciers) with Pinot Noir coming several years later. Today they own 31 acres of estate Pinot Noir and source additional amounts from other Anderson Valley vineyards. The next generation, Aaron and Sarah Cahn Bennett, now are actively involved in the winery. Winemaker Jim Klein has been at Navarro for 15 years. Three Pinot Noirs are produced: a Mendocino blend, a Methode a l'Ancienne Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, and a Deep End Anderson Valley Pinot Noir (the most age worthy). The tasting room in Philo on Highway 128 is open daily. A very informative newsletter is sent to mailing list customers. The wines are of the highest quality, yet the prices continue to be very reasonable.
