Named for the native California Gray Pine which is prevalent in our area, Gray Pine Vineyard & Winery is a small, limited-production winery located in Penn Valley, California, in the Sierra Foothills, with an annual production of approximately 300 cases. We grow our own grapes on our two-acre vineyard and make our own wines. Specializing in Bordeaux red varietals, we produce Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and a classic Bordeaux-style Red Blend called PennRidge. We believe that fine wine is best enjoyed with fine meals and our winemaking focus is on food-friendly wines with balanced acid and tannins, in the classic Bordeaux style. Our first vintage was 2011. Please review the bottom of the "Our-wines-&-where-to-find-them" page to check on availability of specific wines. We are now featuring our 2023 vintage.
In case you missed the news, our 2021 Cabernet Franc and 2021 Petit Verdot received Double Gold awards at the 2025 California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition!
