Our Wine
Our ultimate intention is not to create wines that become the most coveted or overshadow the bigger picture of life, but to create wines that appropriately enhance the nuances of each person’s own path.
The wines are meant to be consumed with purpose; not necessarily hoarded in a collection, but opened when and wherever a mood or opportunity might present itself.
This majestic stretch of land, divided between Sonoma and Napa, is known for thick, damp fog in the mornings as well as cool winds in the afternoons. Discover how our unique geography and climate sets us apart from other grape-growing regions in the US.
The image above, which can be found on the label for our Rosé of Pinot Noir, is the last remaining vestige of a windmill that existed on the property long before it ever became a vineyard. Perhaps more precisely, this was part of a wind pump that drew water from an underground well and fed it into a stock trough for grazing cattle. Although the cattle have long been removed, and the physical relics of a livelihood that existed prior to the vineyard slowly fade to dust, this tower is an unrelenting reminder of our family’s legacy; first as ranchers, now as farmers, and forever patrons to the land.
