The Rhone Rangers

The Rhone Rangers are a group of American winemakers dedicated to producing high-quality wines from the Rhône Valley grape varieties, such as Syrah, Grenache, and Viognier. Established in the late 20th century, their goal is to showcase these varieties' versatility and character in California and elsewhere in the U.S. They emphasize craftsmanship, expression of terroir, and often promote Rhône-style blends. The movement has helped increase awareness and appreciation of Rhône-inspired wines among wine enthusiasts and consumers.
