In the far reaches of Sonoma County, high atop undulating mountains around a glistening lake, there is a place where an unexpected windfall has sparked a new approach to winemaking.

This spot, the 20,000-acre Cooley Ranch Vineyard, has a long and colorful history of adventure, four generations of one family’s experiences taming the wild countryside. It also has 200 hand-selected acres of vineyards that yield legendary fruit.

This is the birthplace of ROWEN Wine Company and the brands that currently bear its name.

ROWEN Wine Company is built around an indomitable, independent way of life—each bottle encapsulates the spirit of the American West. It’s unconventional. It’s unique. And it’s blazing new trails with a variety of Bordeaux-style blends—the kind of wines that anyone who values creativity and hard work can appreciate.
