Sonoma: The 2026 Preview

BY ANTONIO GALLONI | JANUARY 13, 2025

Our annual Sonoma Preview looks at the latest releases from Sonoma County and neighboring appellations, split mostly between the 2024 and 2023 vintages. After a very cold and late year in 2023, 2024 marked a return to more benign conditions. Readers will find more detailed information on both vintages in the accompanying producer profiles. We will publish our full report within the next few weeks.

Hirsch’s Raschen Ridge is one of the most dramatic sites in Fort Ross-Seaview.
