The Russian River Valley is one of the world’s premier growing regions for Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. Crafting wines from this appellation with elegance and finesse, MacMurray Ranch speaks to the beauty and legacy of the land.
Today, our award winning wines are crafted with care by winemaker Susan Doyle, who has a patient, gentle approach that gets the best out of Pinot Noir. Her winemaking is an exercise in finesse, as she guides the wines to achieve both depth and a range of flavors that expresses the nature of the place where they were born. She makes wines
that reflect the old “Burgundian” sense of “terroir” the special qualities that weather, land, and the hand of a winemaker give to their individual distinction, world class Pinot Noir.
The original homestead on MacMurray Ranch was settled over 150 years ago in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. Only three families have owned the ranch, all sharing a common vision of the land and worked to preserve its legacy and beauty. In 1941, Fred MacMurray, one of Hollywood’s best-loved actors, bought the ranch. He raised his family there and enjoyed the rewarding lifestyle of a rancher. In 1996, the Gallo family bought the ranch from the MacMurray family. The two families shared a love of the property and respect for the traditions of stewardship. Only 450 of the ranch’s 1500 acres are planted to vine; 100 year-old redwoods pepper the property; old growth forest remain intact.
