Our dream of owning a winery began with a shared passion for great wine, a wonderful growing environment, and the joy of sharing the experience with friends and family. In 1993, after years of enjoying winetasting and buying, we decided to experience the winemaking process for ourselves. As it turns out, our 17 acres in the southern tip of the Santa Cruz Mountains provided the perfect microclimate for growing Cabernet Sauvignon — warm days and cool nights.

Our first pass at winemaking started in 1997 and our output has grown with our passion ever since. In 2002, we had our first commercial crush of 625 cases. In 2003, we built a small building and increased our production to 2000 cases. By 2004, we had increased our production to 3500 cases, and again had friends and family celebrating in the long days of harvest and winemaking. We have recently completed a new winery and produce several award-winning red varieties.

We've also recently had small production releases of special wines, usually reserved for our Wine Club members that include a Zinfandel, a Sauvignon/Sémillon Bordeaux-style blend and a crisp and delicious Chardonnay. Our primary goal in our business is to continue to enjoy the great wine — and special friendships — that are the true rewards of the winemaking experience.
