Mengler Family Wines was founded in 2014 with a focus on producing small batch, vineyard designated, special wines for the purpose of creating unique wine enjoyment experiences. Our signature wine, Rita’s Block, named for my wife Rita, is grown on a small block of land in the Russian River Valley. Family and friends do almost all the work throughout the year on this block from pruning, trimming and leafing all the way to harvesting the grapes by hand in the darkness of night. We then make the wine on site and around one week or so after harvest this elegant 18 varietal field blend is ready for barrel aging in all American Oak (1/3 new).
