McNab Ridge Winery: Four Generations Sculpting Mendocino Red and Blend

McNab Ridge Winery stands as a family-rooted producer in Mendocino County, California, with a legacy tracing back to Adolph Parducci, the region’s earliest winemaking pioneer. John Parducci founded McNab Ridge in 1999 after a long tenure at Parducci Wine Cellars and instilled a vision carried on today by his grandson, Rich Parducci, a fourth‑generation winemaker trained in enology. The family’s approach emphasizes complexity and food‑friendliness, shaping balanced, approachable styles from Mendocino’s diverse terroir. Rich continues to source fruit widely across the county, embracing sustainable practices and drawing on deep generational expertise.

Within FineVines’ current selection, the McNab Ridge offerings reflect this philosophy in action. Fred’s Red is a savory, crowd‑pleasing red blend that speaks to the winery’s accessible side. Meanwhile, the Zinzilla Zinfandel showcases the region’s hallmark expressive fruit and structure. Both selections embody the winery’s commitment to crafting balanced, flavorful wines that resonate with everyday enjoyment and reflect the character of Mendocino County.
