Our winemaking approach is like an artist layering brushstrokes to create a masterpiece—a harmonious blend of passion, precision, creativity, and unwavering dedication to excellence from the vineyard to the cellar.
IT ALL BEGINS IN THE VINEYARD
We remain closely connected to the vineyard throughout each growing season, developing a deep understanding of each block’s unique terroir, vine health, microclimate, farming practices, and evolving conditions. This intimate involvement allows us to make well-informed decisions early in the winemaking process.
IN PURSUIT OF BALANCE
From harvest to bottling, every grape is handled with meticulous care and purpose. Our hands-on approach to small-lot production allows us to focus on every detail, striving to achieve the perfect balance of acidity, tannins, richness, and body. Our goal is simple: to create wines that are as complex, dynamic, and expressive as possible.
A MINIMALIST APPROACH
Our minimalist approach delivers pure and honest wines that are inimitable expressions of both time and place. We have respect for the vineyard and natural process of making wine. With this approach, each vintage becomes a sincere reflection of its unique growing season and process.
ALWAYS WITH A CREATIVE SPIRIT
Creativity is at our core, and we’re always pushing boundaries. Whether it’s putting our own modern California twist on an ancient spiced wine or crafting unique, one-of-a-kind projects exclusively for our wine club members, we embrace experimentation in everything we do.
COVETED VINEYARD PARTNERSHIPS
We’ve built exceptional partnerships with some of Northern California’s most sought-after single-vineyard sites to produce our wines. Each vineyard is hand-selected for its unique combination of qualities, including exceptional fruit, diverse terroirs, and distinctive microclimates.
CERTIFIED FISH FRIENDLY FARMING
Fish Friendly Farming® is a process of certification for agricultural properties managed in a way that restores fish and wildlife habitat and improves water quality. This is especially paramount based on our location, so close to the San Pablo Bay and with our own Tolay Creek bordering the property.
