The Santa Cruz Mountain's wine appellation boasts over 60 wineries, all producing vintages from grapes grown in the region. Santa Cruz mountian wines are boldly influenced by extremes of terrior found in the appellation which climbs from sea level to 3000 foot mountain peaks. It is also reflected in the responsible farming methods used by area vitners.
