The story

The story behind Castle Rock

Greg Popovich founded Castle Rock in 1994, running the brand from the Palos Verdes Peninsula in California as a negociant. That means no estate vineyards and no winery mortgage. Instead, roughly 40 long-term grower contracts across California, Oregon and Washington feed fruit to partner facilities in Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Willamette Valley and Columbia Valley, where Meghan Daniels Rech directs winemaking.

The result is regional Pinot Noir at a price that keeps people coming back. The 2023 California Cuvee took Double Gold and 99 points at the California State Fair, and Wine Enthusiast has handed the brand Best Buy nods for 22 consecutive years. We have poured these bottles across this counter for a long time, and the fruit-forward, medium-bodied style still sells itself.

Good to know

Castle Rock questions, answered

Where is Castle Rock Pinot Noir made?
Castle Rock is run from offices in Torrance, California, but the wine is made under a negociant model. Fruit is crushed, fermented and bottled at partner facilities in Napa Valley, Sonoma, Oregon and Washington.
Is Castle Rock Pinot Noir sweet or dry?
It is a dry red wine. You get ripe, fruit-forward aromas of strawberry, cherry and citrus peel, but fermentation runs dry and the finish stays clean and juicy with no noticeable residual sugar.
What is the alcohol content of Castle Rock Pinot Noir?
Alcohol runs 13.5% to 14.5% ABV depending on the regional expression and the vintage. The Mendocino bottling sits at the higher end, while the California and Willamette wines land closer to 13.5%.
Why is Castle Rock wine so inexpensive?
The brand owns no vineyards, wineries or hospitality estates. Buying grapes on long-term contract and leasing production space keeps overhead low, and those savings land on the shelf instead of a mortgage.
Can I get Castle Rock Pinot Noir delivered or pick it up?
Yes. We offer same-day or next-day delivery across Nassau and Suffolk, free curbside pickup in Commack, and free local delivery on orders over $250. Wine shipping goes to states where it is legal, confirmed at checkout.
