About The Lost Canyon Winery

Lost Canyon Winery’s focus is on producing small lots of single vineyard designated Pinot Noir and Syrah from some of the finest vineyards in the Russian River, Sonoma Coast, and Los Carneros appellations. Lost Canyon has nurtured a passion for crafting the finest quality wine since 1978 with Randy Keyworth and Jack States’ inaugural vintage.

Lost Canyon's premier commercial release was unveiled in 2001 when Bob Riskin joined the ownership team. Now under the stewardship of the Fritz Family, Lost Canyon continues the tradition of fine winemaking, garnering many awards and accolades along the way.

Our commitment is to making cool climate, “vineyard designated” Pinot Noir and Syrah. Each of our ultra-premium wines reflects the unique terroir of the individual vineyard and grower’s philosophy. We have partnered with some of the best growers in Sonoma County including Saralee Kunde and the Dutton Family to create these exceptional wines.

Maintaining a small production size (under 2,500 cases) is at the core of our philosophy of the complex task of making world-class hand crafted wines. It enables us to respond to their unique timetable, not the reverse. Ultimately, we don't control the grape’s development, but instead we are there to guide and influence the wine to meet its innate potential.
