Located in the western hills of the Russian River Valley, Green Valley is one of Sonoma County’s coolest regions. Blankets of fog pushed over from the Pacific Ocean chill the otherwise hot summer evening air and ensure temperate mornings. The valley’s optimal weather conditions extend the growing season and produce concentrated berries while soils rich in minerals from an ancient seabed infuse the fruit with nuanced flavors. The 2006 Green Valley Pinot Noir is a blend from several vineyards in the Green Valley appellation. The vineyards represent different clones, each of which contributes something unique to the finished wine. Each vineyard site has been carefully selected to display the bright, crystalline fruit characteristics of classic Green Valley Pinot Noir.

The Russian River Valley has come to be known as "America’s Burgundy,” and DeLoach is proud to have been an important factor in this distinction. DeLoach’s wines have won numerous accolades and scored many 90+ ratings over the years. The Wine Spectator’s James Laube calls DeLoach "one of California’s best producers of chardonnay,” and Wine and Spirits has proclaimed DeLoach "Winery of the Year” nine times. Our mission is to produce exceptional wines that spotlight the singular personality of the Russian River Valley in a socially responsible, environmentally sensitive way. We seek to foster a better understanding of the Valley’s unique terroir, with its rare and bountiful convergence of the sea, the soil and the stars.
