Banshee defies conventions to create exceptional wine for the true drinkers
Our wines dare to be different and distinctive
With a strong focus on Pinot Noir from the cool, rugged coastal areas of the Western Sonoma Coast and a passion for Single Vineyard designates, we strive to produce some of the best damn Pinot Noir in Sonoma County. To keep things interesting, we also produce an awesome line-up of crisp Sauvignon Blanc, vibrant coastal Chardonnays, mouth-watering Rosé, bold & brawny Cabernets and exciting reds like Carignan and Cabernet Franc from Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino Counties, and beyond.
All Banshee Wines
This wonderfully complex Sonoma Coast Chardonnay has aromatics of lemon curd, honeysuckle and soft butter cream. In the mouth, the wine is moderate weight but packs extraordinary depth of flavor ripe with lemon, rich creme brulee and caramel and a hint of minerality. This round yet delicate wine finishes with bright acidity and a creamy finish.
If you have enjoyed our Marine Layer Pinot Noir, think of El Pino as its wilder, darker sidekick. We love working on these blends simultaneously, selecting the more delicate barrels for Marine Layer and the more robust for "El Pino".
Marine Layer is a special barrel selection from our best vineyards — in this case Heintz and Bohemian — blending them together to create an homage to the chilly Sonoma Coast in our backyard.
This wonderfully complex Sonoma Coast Chardonnay has aromatics of lemon curd, baking spices, wet river rock and a hint of cedar. In the mouth, the wine is moderate weight but packs extraordinary depth of flavor ripe with Asian pear, Golden Delicious apple and a hint of minerality. This round yet delicate wine finishes with balanced acidity and a dry, clean finish.

The 2018 Mendocino Carignan is a deep, inky magenta with woody manzanita and cigar box aromas. Rich flavors of mulberry and crispy pie crust with hints of bergamot and violet lead to a texture of fine, supple leather.
An exciting, yet friendly wine, bursting at the seams with aromas of macerated tart cherries, pomegranate and notes of earth of pine. The flavors combine both sweet and tart with a fruit driven front palate and very subtle oak influence.

An enticing nose of pepper, violets, cigar and cassis. On the palate it is a mouthwatering mélange of red berry and plum flavors backed by earthy tones of herb roasted meat and fresh black trumpet giving way to a spice laden finish.
Our Sauvignon Blanc comes from a combination of vineyards in the Russian River and Sonoma Valleys. The warm days and cool evenings of these regions are perfect for our style of Sauvignon Blanc: fruit-driven with a backbone of lipsmacking acidity.
Reading the Tarot doesn’t predict the future, it just helps you see yours more clearly. When the deck shows you the Ten of Cups, it symbolizes harmony, joy, and abundance—everything we saw in the cards for this bottle of bubbly.
The 2019 Mendocino County Banshee Rosé is a lovely shade of pale salmon with aromas of rose water, salinity and fresh picked strawberries. Bright flavors of juicy cantaloupe and honeydew melon are highlighted by a touch of Meyer lemon.
