“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 and that you will find capture a completely unique sense of place and time.”

We make our wines in California’s beautiful Sonoma County in the city of Santa Rosa. The grapes we have used for our wines are grown minutes from the winery in Rincon Valley at an outstanding vineyard called Kick Ranch. We are very much a “hands on” winery. Hard not to be, when the grower and the winemaker are the entire winery team!
We support Kick Ranch’s sustainable vineyard practices, and we craft wines with minimal intervention. One goal of our wine making is to create the highest quality wine whose characteristics reflect a sense of place of origin or terroir. Great intensity is a hallmark of the wines we make, but never at the expense of the critical balance between fruit, acid, and tannin that distinguishes truly great wines.
As a relatively new winery, we especially value and appreciate the relationships we are building within the wine community, with the restaurants and stores that feature our wines and with the friends and patrons who buy our wines. We have been helped by many people along the way so far. We invite you to enjoy and share our wines. And we would love to hear from you!
