How do you make a really great wine?

Step one: Start with excellent grapes.  We include grapes from our own vineyard in addition to grapes from other areas of the US and around the world. 

Step two: Carefully crush, destem and ferment the grapes.  A strict attention to detail ensures we optimize the potential of the grape.

Step three: Settle and stabilize the wine as it matures for a clear vivid color. 

Step four: Minimal handling.  Allowing the structure of the grape to remain intact results in a wine that stays alive and exciting for years.

Step five: Blending and adjusting to taste.  This ensures a wine with layers of complexity.

Step six: Hand bottling, capping and labeling.  In the age old religious debate of corks versus screw caps, we chose the screw caps because they are much more reliable, consistent and sustainable.

Step seven: Chemical free cleanliness.  We sanitize our tanks with ozone: an extremely effective sanitizing agent that uses cold water that has been super oxygenated to kill germs on contact. 

The end result: a clean, clear, crisp, stable wine that meets our customer’s discerning palate.
