Reata comes from the Spanish word for lariat and lasso. The lasso honors our winery’s ranching tradition and winemaking philosophy. Just as lassos are threads woven together, Reata wines are sourced from exceptional vineyards in California’s most celebrated growing regions and woven together by careful winemaker. Reata focuses on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in the cooler-climate, coastal regions of California, which are ideally suited to these Burgundian varietals.
