"12 Ranch Wines" is a small family owned winery located in Bonanza, Oregon. We specialize in small, handcrafted lots of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Our grapes are hand picked from select vineyards in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon. We work very closely with all our vineyards through out the growing season, especially when it gets close to harvest. We must not forget that a great wine begins in the vineyard. Sugar, acid levels and when to harvest are just a few of the decisions our vineyards allow us to make. Discretion over the growing process, not “adjustments” during winemaking, let the grapes natural varietal flavor come through. Our wines reflect the true qualities of each vintage.

This wonderful fruit is brought to our facility in Bonanza, hand sorted into the crusher /destemmer and placed into stainless steel fermentation tanks. They are fermented, with the grapes, or cap being punched down by hand 3 times a day to keep skins wet and to extract that great deep dark color. Next, we press the wine off the skins into oak barrels. The wine is aged in Hungarian oak barrels which adds to the complexity of the wine, but still allows the great flavor of the fruit to come through. Our wines are unfiltered and we use only gravity flow methods to gently handle our wines. With our small lot production we are able to pay close attention to each wine at every step of the way.

Wine making at "12 Ranch Wines" is a family affair. Ken and Connie Masten are the wine makers, sales team, and sanitation or clean up crew and best of all, in charge of tasting for quality control.
