Comments: Pinot Noir, Petite Sirah and Chardonnay are the flagship wines for the Kent Rasmussen Winery label - the wines that have made us famous. For those of you who are Pinot-philes, you know that Pinot can be either wonderful - or abysmal. Since 1986, Kent has worked magic with this difficult wine, and has earned his reputation as one of California's finest Pinot Noir winemakers.

When conditions are just right, we also make Reserve Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Under the Kent Rasmussen Winery label, we include Petite Sirah, which is a big personal favorite of ours, and when Mother Nature gives us a good year for late harvest wines, we take advantage of her generosity, and make an award winner such as our current Late Harvest Gewurztraminer.
