Sonoma County Vineyard Designated Wines: Pech Merle

888 282-1353


We're very excited to introduce to you an up and coming star. Wait until you see Pech Merle.

Cellar Angels interviews Bruce and Cheryl Lawton of Pech Merle Winery. Pech Merle is named after a prehistoric cave in the Lot River Valley of France. Bruce and Cheryl visited on vacation in 2007 and went to the Pech Merle cave. It means, in Occitan, Cave Under The Hill. Bruce builds concrete bridges and wine caves so it seemed like a natural fit for the winery. When they came back from France they were under contract on their winery property.

Pech Merle looked at the model that Nickel & Nickel did and liked the single vineyard designate wines. They picked vineyards that they thought would produce incredible Zins from Dry Creek Valley and focused on three AVAs surrounding the property. Russian River, Dry Creek, and Alexander Valley. They produce Dry Creek Valley Zins, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from Alexander Valley. All vineyard designates.

Bruce and Cheryl consider their wine customers and wine club members part of their family. Bruce started making wine in college as a junior at Ohio State. Watch the video to learn his instructor's reaction to why they weren't tasting any California wines! Wait until you see what is happening at Pech Merle. Brand new tasting room coming up. Just goes to show you don't believe your college professors all the time.
