Davis Bynum is distinguished as the first winery to produce a single vineyard pinot noir from the Russian River Valley. The vintage was 1973 and the grapes were from Joe Rochioli's now prized vineyard. Today, more than thirty years later, the heritage of Davis Bynum lives on through the hand crafted creation of pinot noir and chardonnay grown exclusively in Russian River Valley.
In August 2007 Davis sold the winery to the Klein family, who has been farming in California for four generations. The focus on Russian River Valley remains the same and the goal to produce excellent chardonnay and pinot noir is unchanged.
