About
Waxwing Wine Cellars crafted compelling, cool-climate wines from the California Coast, sourcing grapes from cool and windy coastal vineyards. They produced limited-production Pinot Noir, Syrah, Riesling, and Chardonnay using traditional methods with minimal additions and aging in French oak barrels. The winery permanently closed its doors in July 2022.
