Notes on the 2025 Vintage
The Napa Valley 2025 vintage is shaping up to be a fantastic, classic year, characterized by a slow, balanced growing season with moderate temperatures, leading to excellent phenolic ripeness, structure, and terroir expression in the wines.

How We Work
Winemaker News
How We Work
We are based on the California Harvest cycle so we get most of our fruit in early to mid October.
We sell 3 different quality levels of fruit. We have branded them California, Sonoma and Napa (think good, better, best).
At each quality level, we sell quarter, half and full barrels. At the Napa level we have American and French Oak options. The entire process takes about
a year to complete (think October - for the Crush & Press, to the following August/September for Bottling).
