Winemaker Notes
What distinguishes Mason's wines from all the others is that he enjoys and adheres only to making wines that are true to their varietal character. How he achieves this trueness and consistency is by using the same vines year after year and by spending much time in the vineyard prior to harvesting. Mason believes in letting the fruit show through in the wine and not to add a lot of processes and unnatural enhancements. He considers himself a California style winemaker.
"There are about 18,000 cases of Mason's 2001 Sauvignon Blanc, one of California's most delicious examples. It offers copious quantities of intense, exotic tropical fruits along with melons, figs, and herbs. This fruit bomb reveals surprising definition as well as character."

Mason Cellars was founded in Oakville, California in 1993 by Randy and Megan Mason whose vision is to produce the highest quality wine possible that is consumer friendly, and available to their customers at a fair market price. Their goal is to create wines that can be readily enjoyed and shared by family and friends. With over 40 years of winemaking in the Napa Valley, Randy is the master behind the wine.
Randy Mason has long been recognized by the wine industry as being one of the best Sauvignon Blanc producers in the country. A pioneer in California Sauvignon Blanc, the Mason Sauvignon Blanc has set the standard for domestic producers to strive for, with this wine being named as part of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2017 for the 2016 vintage, amongst other impressive accolades.
Building on the success and groundwork laid by the Mason Sauvignon Blanc, Randy and Megan started to develop a Sauvignon Blanc house with the launch of Pomelo in 2004. A fun and playful spin on California Sauvignon Blanc; Pomelo is a wild success among consumers and press alike. After listening to his customers and distributors, Mason decided to produce their first ever Pinot Grigio in 2009 called Three Pears, a name inspired after their three children.
