The Wine
Ghost, our yellow lab, was a fixture of the winery from the beginning until his passing on September 18, 2018, one week after the start of harvest. He was soaked in the downpour of our first harvest day but would not leave us until we were finished. He was loved by all winery patrons young and old. He died just before we picked this wine but his memory and spirit lives on in it. Like Ghost, this wine is robust but gentle; soft in the front and rounded on the back; bold but approachable, and lingering.
The Winery
Our boutique winery was built as a post-retirement project by our founders, Juanita and RJ, on a historic dairy farm, retaining the rustic feel and surrounded by mountain and valley views. Our wines are made by a millennial female winemaker with some coaching by RJ. Your tasting room experience will be personal, as every staff member has been well trained on the wines but will put their own touch on the presentation. As for our wines, from the wide variety of whites to our award-winning Pinot noirs, each carries the touch of human hands from vineyard to bottle.
