About Us
Simply put, our enthusiasm for great wine has evolved into a commitment to handcrafting outstanding wine that reminds us of some of the most important moments in our lives. Our focus is to create small lots of brilliant wines that individually, have their own story, pair well with a variety of foods and are enthusiastically enjoyed on their own.
In the summer of 2005, we started our first Cabernet project with fruit sourced from Beckerstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard in St. Helena and never looked back.
Our drive and enthusiasm allows us to lead this bi-coastal lifestyle and has enabled us to expand our distribution to reach more people who truly love wine. We travel frequently between coasts to stay on top of production and are intimately involved in the entire winemaking process. Our mission is to create remarkable wines while at the same time creating beautiful, long-lasting memories.
We look forward to further growing our business and hope that you will join us on our journey.
