Handcrafted Mendocino Wines Since 1999
At McNab Ridge Winery, we celebrate over seven decades of pioneering winemaking in Mendocino County. Our family legacy began with Adolph Parducci's grape sales during Prohibition and evolved through John Parducci's dedication to crafting classic varietal wines. Today, Rich Parducci leads our team with expertise honed at California State University Fresno, continuing his grandfather's tradition of excellence. We source premium grapes from local growers, combining Mendocino's natural bounty with four generations of expertise. Our winemaking philosophy emphasizes complexity and approachability, creating wines that invite a second glass.Surrounded by vineyards in a valley settled in 1868, we blend historical heritage with modern techniques. Our commitment to quality extends to sustainable practices and community partnerships with neighboring growers. The McNab dog breed, originating from our land, symbolizes our connection to this region's agricultural heritage. With annual production of 22,000 cases, we maintain hands-on craftsmanship while embracing innovation. Our tasting room offers visitors an authentic California wine country experience rooted in family tradition.

Report
Some of their wines are really nice. Lady who works here lets phone calls go to voicemail and then doesn't return calls. As for contacting her by email, she never replies to emails. Not sure how she gets any business. Too bad because I've tasted a few of their RED wines and they're really good and reasonably priced.
