Russian River Valley
American Viticultural AreaEstablished 1983
Russian River Valley is a California AVA established in 1983 under 27 CFR Part 9, defined by the lower reach of the Russian River as it flows toward the Pacific through Sonoma County. Cool morning fog channeled inland from the coast creates a low-heat growing environment suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The appellation sits within the broader Sonoma County AVA and generates concentrated COLA label activity in the TTB registry.
Wine Grabber Registry
No explicit Wine Grabber COLA record matches are currently linked for this AVA.
Wine Grabber links COLA records to AVA pages only when the public TTB registry data explicitly identifies the appellation. State-level records (California, Oregon, Washington, etc.) are not counted as AVA matches even when the producer is located in the appellation.
