Since 2004, our focus has been creating dynamic artisan wines from distinctive vineyards in Lodi, the Sierra Foothills, and Napa Valley. Our wines are created to fully express the character of the vineyard and the fruit from the vine as wine that is true to itself - balanced, complex, approachable and age-worthy.
Our winery and tasting room is unique in Lodi. We don't have sculptures or bocce ball courts. Since we started, our focus is on the wine and our resources go toward making the best wines we can.
We grow Zinfandel, Tannat, Petite Sirah and Vermentino in our Lodi vineyard, but most of our fruit comes from other places. We think the best Zinfandel in California comes from Lodi, so that's where we source our Zin. Our Syrah comes from Amador County. We make Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa.
Growing grapes and making wine are, of course, intimately intertwined, but we leave the hard work for our growers to handle. We work together throughout the season, working to ensure that our wines are made from exceptional grapes.
