Shannon Ridge Petite Sirah

Shannon Family of Wines is a family-owned winery and ranching operation based in Lake County, California, built around a philosophy of crafting bold, authentic wines that reflect the rugged terrain of high-elevation vineyards. Founded by Clay Shannon, the brand prides itself on honest, handcrafted wines made to be shared, ranging from structured reds to expressive whites, all grown on over 2,000 acres of mountain vineyards. The winery emphasizes regenerative and sustainable farming, most notably through Project Ovis, a 1,000-acre initiative transforming its estate into a regenerative organic ecosystem that has earned environmental recognition, including the California Green Medal Environment Award.

Beyond winemaking, Shannon Family of Wines offers experiences at The Mercantile, a wine bar and gourmet market in Lake County where visitors can enjoy tastings, food, and events in a welcoming setting. The brand also operates a wine club with member-exclusive perks such as special pricing and early access to new releases. Their portfolio includes several labels like Clay Shannon, Buck Shack, Ovis, Cricket Farms, and Shannon Ridge, with a strong focus on sustainability, land stewardship, and creating wines that tell the story of their place.
