Winery

"We can win awards, but it still just comes down to how people like our wines. I craft wines to be enjoyed with life's everyday pleasures-cooking dinner, connecting with family and friends or just relaxing with a loved one."
- John Clark, Corbett Canyon Winemaker since 1985

When John joined Corbett Canyon Vineyards over 20 years ago, his goal was to introduce America to Corbett Canyon's outstanding value. Wine lovers in California knew of Corbett Canyon, but the winery was virtually unknown outside the golden state. Today, Corbett Canyon has grown into one of America's favorite wineries. Over the years, John has continued to craft wines using small winery techniques such as blending for complexity and cool fermentation which has resulted in over 150 awards.

California's unique Mediterranean climate offers John a multitude of blending options. Each harvest, John travels throughout the state of California to find just the right vineyards for Corbett Canyon wines. Cool microclimate vineyards add fresh fruit aromas while warmer climates add depth of flavor, color and body to the wines. Careful aging completes John's quest for the best wines possible for the modest price.
