Bennett Valley is situated between Taylor Mountain to the west, Sonoma Mountain to the south and Bennett Peak to the east. Ash from these volcanic peaks coated the landscape over the millenia, forming the basis for Bennett Valley's soil. Fog creeps into the valley in the early morning through the Petaluma wind gap, making the valley much cooler than the neighboring Sonoma Valley and Sonoma Mountain AVAs. The 8,700 acre AVA has only 800 acres of vines, which produce mainly Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah.
