Mercy Vineyards, founded in 2008 by Mark Dirickson and Mike Kohne, produces artisan wines from the Arroyo Seco AVA in Monterey County, California. They focus on low-yielding vines in a unique ancient riverbed terrain, emphasizing that fine wine is made in the vineyard. The dramatic coastal climate of fog, winds, and rocky soils yields unparalleled cool-climate varietals.
