2020 · O.F.S. Chardonnay

Founded in 1975, DeLoach Vineyards is a pioneering Russian River Valley producer in Sonoma County, now part of the Boisset Collection under proprietor Jean-Charles Boisset. Its estate vineyard is certified organic, Demeter Biodynamic, and California Sustainable, with cover cropping, biodiversity initiatives, water conservation, solar energy, and other responsible farming practices. The winery combines a neighborhood-focused, terroir-driven approach with traditional Burgundian techniques, including native-yeast fermentation, open-top wood fermenters, and hand punch-downs. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel are central to its portfolio, including the selectively produced, hand-crafted O.F.S. Pinot Noir. Winemaking is led by Brian Maloney and Katie Carter, with wines intended to express the distinct sites of the Russian River Valley.
