Ancient Oak Cellars Family-owned & family-farmed, native-ferment wines. Vineyards in Russian River Valley and Sonoma Mountain. Their first vintage was in 2006.

Ken and Melissa Moholt-Siebert started Ancient Oak Cellars winery with a Pinot Noir vineyard just north of Santa Rosa that had been Ken's grandparents. Today you can taste their wines--Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Zinfandel from Russian River Valley, Cab, Merlot, and Cab Franc from Sonoma Mountain. They source grapes from three estate vineyards, which they farm themselves, and several other amazing Sonoma County vineyards. Greg La Follette is the winemaker. Tastings are by appointment only. Email [email protected] for more details.

We have been fortunate to lease and farm this vineyard, and make beautiful Pagnano Vineyard Zinfandel for the last 15 years.

This year it's in honor of my father, Ray Moholt, who loved this w**e of mine above all others.

As is my tradition, I am taking the first juice sample of vintage 2026 using a cup I got at TexSom.

What is different is that I'm doing so the day before I would normally go to volunteer setting up and supporting TexSom and then come home and get ready for harvest.

This year I'm missing TexSom and all the friends I've made there -- and making w**e NOW!

Yikes - where's my TexSom Harvest Intern?!?
