Cedar Creek Ranch & Vineyards is a small-scale wine producer based in Mount Aukum, California, focused on crafting wines with evident varietal character and aging potential. Founded in 1997 by Karen J. Wood, the estate grows five grape varieties using natural farming methods and relies on wild yeast fermentation to create balanced wines that express their site. Its wines are aimed at discerning consumers who value wines that develop depth over time, with several varietals subjected to extended aging in French oak before release. The lineup includes Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are barrel-aged and bottle-aged for years; Viognier is barrel-fermented sur lie, and Sangiovese follows a traditional Chianti-style approach. A Sea Turtle Logo appears on every bottle, signaling the connection to the vineyard and the emphasis on longevity.
