This winery sources grapes for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay program from growers in the cooler Clarksburg region along the delta that flows into the San Francisco Bay, as well as in the wind-cooled Salinas Valley.
The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are consistently a Best Buy recommendation from many wine publications. The wines are widely distributed in retail and grocery stores.
The winemakers are Mark Rasmussen who is a veteran of over 35 years at some of California's leading wineries, Kryss Speegle, who has held winemaking and enologist roles at several wineries in Napa, Mendocino, Germany and New Zealand.
The winery is not open to the public.
