Eagle Peak Mendocino County AVA
Eagle Peak is a wine growing region in Mendocino County, California.[1] It was established in 2014. Pinot Noir grows best in this AVA, as the temperature tends to be cooler than the inland valleys. The area is home to only one winery, Masút, founded by third generation vintners Ben and Jake Fetzer.[2]
