Dos Rios - Wine Region of the Day
/Dos Rios by David Toomey for Qorkz.
The Dos Rios AVA is located in northern Mendocino County, California. Dos Rios is located near the confluence of the Eel River and the Middle Fork of the Eel River. Dos Rios receives constant breezes from the Pacific Ocean, offsetting the warm daily sunshine. The soil in Dos Rios is more infertile than other regions in Mendocino. Only one winery, Vin de Tevis, currently operates within the boundaries of the AVA. Vin de Tevis has only six acres under vine, almost exclusively planted to red varietals such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel.
