2020 SPRING RELEASE is Finally HERE
Though delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, our Spring bottling has finally happened. We've got three new wines ready for you to enjoy and they're here just in time for the warm weather. Place your order today! We have very limited amounts of the Dry Muscat and the Rose of Sangiovese.
2019 Tocai Friulano: Organically farmed at high altitude in the Sierra Foothills just East of Placerville, CA. Made without the use of commercial yeasts. Fermented and aged with minimal intervention. Bottled without fining or filtration. Crisp and sublte, with a saline quality and a lingering finish. This wine is going to be amazing by itself, but especially with a wide variety of food.
2019 Dry Muscat Canelli: Because of overwhelming demand we increased our production of this wine in 2019. Organically farmed in Contra Costa County by First Generation Farmers out of Knightsen CA. This wine was fermented to complete dryness (zero residual sugar) with indigenous yeasts in neutral french oak barrels. Fermented and aged with minimal intervention. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. With a bright floral, tropical nose and a crisp and refreshing palette, at only 10% alcohol this dry white wine is definitely a porch pounder. Perfect for hot days and poolside sipping. Low alcohol, no sugar, and minimal use of sulfur, means no headache (in moderation!).
2019 Rosé of Sangiovese: Grown in eastern Lodi along the Mokelumne River in the Clements Hills AVA. This certified sustainable Sangiovese was made into a lively rosé to enjoy all year round. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel before being barreled down into neutral french oak. Fermented and aged with minimal intervention. Bottled without fining or filtration. This wine has hints of jolly rancher candy on the nose and a refreshing, mouth watering, palette.
2017 RED WINE, LAMORINDA AVA, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
AVAILABLE STARTING 11/15/19
Our third vintage from the Buckeye Ranch Vineyard is ready for your holiday table. This field blend is composed of 52% Petite Sirah and 48% Syrah.
TASTING NOTES Deep, dark purple. Hints of red and blue berries, baking spices, and dried flowers on the nose. A powerful entry with a rich structure and ripe fruit on the pallet. Juicy and chewy through the finish with lingering fruit flavors. Enjoying this wine is almost as good as locking eyes with George Clooney from accross a crowded room and him breaking just a hint of a smile that makes your legs go weak. ALMOST. THAT. GOOD.

About Us
Our Goal
Our goal is to make wines that taste delicious while being true to our beliefs of intervening as little as possible in the natural progression of grape to wine. We are constantly striving towards sourcing fruit that is farmed using sustainable or organic practices. In the cellar we take a minimal intervention approach, only doing things that benefit the health of the wine and not to manipulate the flavors towards a style that our vineyards are not naturally inclined to produce. Each year we are trying to move farther away from the use of commercial yeast and inorganic nutrients, as well as any type of fining or filtration.
We want to provide you with wines that we are proud to produce and wines you will be proud to uncork for friends and family.
Our Wines
We currently produce a White blend and Red Blend.
Our 2018 White Wine is a blend of Grenache Blanc and Dry Muscat Canelli. Perfect for warm weather and spicy foods, this wine is made from organically and sustainably grown fruit, spontaneously fermented in neutral oak barrels, and bottled without fining or filtration.
Our red blend is a single vineyard field blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Zinfandel from Buckeye Ranch. This small hillside vineyard is located in the Lamorinda AVA just 15 minutes from Berkeley, CA. The vineyard is harvested all at once and fermented together. Each varietal contributes an important layer to this elegant blend. The Syrah, gives the deep, smooth, rich fruit backbone to the wine while the Petite Sirah provides the tannic structure on which the rest of the wine is built. The Zinfandel adds the juicy, fruity, mouthwatering components that makes this wine so easy to keep pouring. This vineyard produces a wine that is big and luxurious, but it doesn't leave your pallet exhausted and abused like a big Napa Cabernet might.
