Scott & Judy Pruett, Owners

Pruett Vineyard is optimally situated on a remote eastern slope in the Northern Sierra Foothills Appellation, where the combination of fractured rock and red clay soil, gentle contours and ideal microclimate provide the perfect terroir for growing Alban and 470 clone Syrah and 337 Cabernet grapes. Founded by Champion Racecar Driver Scott Pruett and his wife Judy in 2006, from its debut release, this premier family-owned and operated estate distinguished itself as the most highly acclaimed and celebrated producer of the region. Carrying forward a 50 year winning race career, Scott and Judy shift from velocity to viticulture with the same passion and determination to bring forward their very best in everything they produce.
What started as a passion, or hobby if you will, has, through the years, turned into something magical. Our dream of working with the earth, the vines, and the grapes to produce exceptional wines has proven successful. With the help of friends along the way, we have grown and are now able to invite you to join our "circle" of friends by joining one of our wine clubs.
“The past 50 years I’ve lived my life (racing) in fractions of a second... moving from velocity to viticulture, I’m not driving the wine, it’s driving me.”
