Abel Vineyard

“Abel is an excellent late-ripening Deep End Anderson Valley site which, perfectly compliments our other coastally-influenced, cool-climate vineyards” said Owner-Winemaker, Mark X. Wentworth.

Originally planted in 1997, Abel was purchased by Katie and Mark Wentworth in 2023. The site is located just 10.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean and is home to diverse Pinot Noir massal selections spread across 11 planted acres, many of which trace their biological origins to world-renowned historic vineyards in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. In addition to Wentworth Vineyards, Abel has been a vineyard designate source for several well-known California producers.

The Wentworths plan to plant Chardonnay at Abel over the next few years and continue to sell a portion of the grapes from the site to select producers for production of vineyard designate bottlings.
