The Essence in the Bottle
Our goal is to produce enjoyable, well–balanced wines, expressive of their
distinctive terroir.
Our primary interest in Pinot Noir is due to its unique ability to
capture the essence of its place of origin. “Traditionalists” in
Burgundy will tell you that a good Pinot expresses its varietal,
whereas a great one expresses its terroir... You will certainly find our
Pinots distinctly different from their Russian River, Central Coast, and
Oregon relatives, while being as true to their varietal as any.

Our other blends and varietal wines are made from grapes grown in nearby vineyards.
Saron and I are closely involved with all the viticultural aspects of producing these
grapes, to make sure they match our demanding standards: organic farming practices,
very low yields (1-1.4 tons/acre for reds, 1.5-2 tons/acre for whites), hand harvesting.
In the winery, they get the same red-carpet treatment we give to our estate-grown fruit (Winemaking).
