Crux Winery

Crux Winery, located in the Russian River Valley, specializes in producing small-batch, Rhône-style wines with minimal intervention. Founded by friends Steve Gower and Brian Callahan in 2012, the winery focuses on balance, typicity, and an exceptional quality-to-price ratio. Crux crafts a range of varietals, including Grenache Blanc, Viognier, GSM Rosé, GSM Red Blend, Grenache, Syrah (both as a red wine and a Port style), Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, and Zinfandel. The winery's portfolio is characterized by restrained and food-friendly wines that express the unique characteristics of each grape, vintage, and vineyard. Crux's approach to winemaking is rooted in its Garagiste heritage, with an annual production yield between 1,000 and 1,200 cases. The Russian River Valley's distinct terroir, influenced by the river's effects, contributes to the wines' richness and depth of flavor. Visitors can experience Crux's wines through private tastings in their approachable tasting room or by strolling with the winemakers among the vineyards. The winery also hosts various events, including blending parties, winemaker dinners, and barrel tastings, fostering a sense of community among wine enthusiasts.
