Our Team

Region Profile

Russian River Valley

At RARECAT, our winemaking begins with intention and ends with restraint. We make wines that are elegant, complex, and balanced. Handling pinot noir is about gentle extraction and Maceration. Our Burgundian barrels are chosen for their ability to lift the wine, not overshadow it. The result is a style that values nuance over saturation.

Vineyard Profile

Bucher Vineyards

Tucked along Westside Road in the heart of the Russian River Valley, Bucher Vineyard is a place where fog meets finesse. The morning marine layer rolls in like clockwork, cooling the vines and allowing the fruit to ripen slowly, patiently—just the way pinot noir prefers. The soils here are Goldridge, a fine, sandy loam that drains well and gently stresses the vines, encouraging nuance over excess.

At RARECAT, we work with a specific block - House Block with its Dijon 115 clone. The small berries provide the structure and complexed we love in Russian River pinot noirs.
