About the winery · Carmel Road Winery ›
Carmel Road is a California winery associated with Jackson Family Wines and centered on the influence of Monterey's coastal climate. The brand emphasizes bright varietal character, firm acidity and a mineral edge shaped by fog, wind and sun. While Carmel Road is best known for Monterey Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, its Sauvignon Blanc is labeled California and sourced from selected vineyards across the state. The resulting style is crisp, citrusy and clean rather than heavy or oaky.
