About

Founded in 1977 with first wines produced in 1985, it planted the first Cabernet Sauvignon vines and produced the first Cabernet wine in the AVA. They create age-worthy wines reflecting the nuance and character of their AVA, emphasizing balance for the dinner table, while continuing 2000-case estate production despite leasing 2/3 of the vineyard to Realm Cellars.
