“As the consolidation of larger wineries continues, small wineries dedicated to hand crafting single-vineyard wines become harder to find. We hope to offer you wines worth your search, -- wines that capture a unique sense of place and time.”

—Charlie Dollbaum, winemaker

Since 2005, Carica Wines has been producing small lots of red and white varietals from premium Sonoma County grapes. Our wines are single-vineyard designated.  The grapes for our Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc were grown in the Rincon Valley area of Sonoma County at a hillside vineyard known as Kick Ranch.  We are very much a “hands on” winery, so our production is very limited.

One goal of our winemaking is to create the highest quality wine whose characteristics reflect a sense of place of origin.  Great intensity is a hallmark of the wines we make, but never at the expense of the critical balance between fruit, acid, and tannins.

We invite you to enjoy our wines and to share them with your friends.
