Our namesake vineyard, MacMurray Ranch, has been a farmstead since the 1850s, farmed by the Porter family until actor Fred MacMurray bought the ranch in 1941. MacMurray Estate Vineyards is deeply rooted in Sonoma County. After aging, we blend across various lots and vineyards to create wines that are a unique expression of a specific region. We harvest and ferment the majority of our vineyard blocks individually to capture the singular character of each site. Thanks to our cool-climate sites and a lengthy growing season, our estate vineyards produce vibrant, expressive Pinot Noir from a myriad of clonal selections, vineyard aspects, elevations and soils. Our winemakers collectively bring more than 100 years’ experience to the vineyard and the cellar. We also craft a select amount of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, cool-climate white varieties with a unique capacity to thrive in the same exceptional soils as Pinot Noir.
