We are unwavering in our pursuit of bold choices and fearless winemaking – no pretense, no posing, no nonsense, to make the most tenacious wines in California.
Wine
Pinot Noir
The subject of our decisive and resolute obsession, the most demanding yet creative of all the wine varietals – and for us, the most rewarding. Pinot Noir’s remarkable ability to become chameleon-like and adapt to showcase its nuances is the synergy that creates the might and gravitas signature of our wines.
Through a blend of organic, biodynamic and regenerative farming practices, our fruit is hand-harvested at night to retain natural, cool temperatures for less extractive phenolics during an extended cold soak followed by long and slow fermentation. Each vineyard is naturally fermented and whole-cluster pressed before final blending.
Chardonnay
A classic varietal that speaks clearly with refinement and poise yet is full of rousing tension — and, the perfect accompaniment to Pinot Noir.
Our Chardonnay wines are farmed organically and undergo native yeast fermentation with the secondary, malolactic fermentation inhibited. Fruit is hand-harvested at night to retain natural, cool temperatures for less extractive phenolics. Aged Sur Lee with Bâtonnage for six months between toppings to create richness and texture while grounding the fruit to create a layered Burgundian-style wine embracing our California roots.
