At Mendocino Wine Company we believe in leaving the world better than we found it. Family owned and operated, Mendocino Wine Company produces seven distinct premium wine brands: Parducci Wine Cellars, True Grit, Moniker, Paul Dolan Vineyards, Sketchbook, Slices and Zin-Phomaniac.

Since its inception in 2007, Paul Dolan Vineyards has remained dedicated to creating exceptional wines through the highest organic standards. As we continue to evolve, we have embraced Regenerative Agriculture practices, enhancing our commitment to the environment and the land we cherish. By farming in the image of nature, rather than trying to control it, we have cultivated vibrant vineyards that thrive with a diverse ecosystem of plants, insects, and animals. Paul Dolan Vineyards produces three distinct wines, a Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, and Cabernet Sauvignon, all sourced from Mendocino and CCOF certified.

Paul Dolan Vineyards Zinfandel is sourced from two unique vineyard sites in the heart of Mendocino County – La Ribera Vineyard and Chase Vineyard. Located along the banks of the Russian River, La Ribera Vineyard sees long warm days and cool nights during the growing season, resulting in bright aromatic fruit with balanced acidity. Located in the eastern hills of the Redwood Valley, the Chase Vineyard has a cooler climate than surrounding appellations, which leads to the gradual ripening of the fruit and results in refined, complex wines. Tasting Notes: A beautiful deep purple shade, the Paul Dolan Zinfandel has warm vanilla and caramel aromas intermingled with bright red cranberry and cherry fruit. On the palate, the rich cherry and cranberry notes carry through to a medium-bodied wine with supple tannins. Delicate oak nuances – a kiss of nutmeg and clove – compliment the wine’s fruit, leading to juicy, lightly spiced finish.
