As a small, privately owned, and operated vineyard, we put the highest level of care and personal attention into our winemaking, perfecting the flavors of our Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines year after year.
In fact, our 2014 chardonnay and Pinot Noir received Double Gold Medals in the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, the largest competition of American wines in the world.
We began making wine in the early 1990’s when we released our first wine. Our first effort was a partnership that produced a merlot named “Keon”. We helped pick the grapes and hand-delivered them to the crush facility. It began our love affair with the wine industry.
Miguel and Becky decided when the time was right, we would buy our own vineyard and produce our own brand. Finally, in 2006, the right property came on the market, and suddenly our dream became a reality. We purchased a 23-acre parcel in Sonoma, with sweeping views of the surrounding vineyards. It was planted with chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. We loved walking the rows of grapes, especially in the late summer as the evening winds would kick up. Our first vintage from the property was in 2010. And, every year since we have been producing high-quality single vineyard chardonnays and pinot noirs.
We take great care to work with the most talented wine professionals to produce uniquely delicious wines that can be paired with food or simply enjoyed by the glass with friends. We are proud to put our name on every bottle.

Wow – this was a great wine to pair with a hot 4th of July weekend. Upon PnP the nose and taste were a bit tight, but as the evening went on this opened up into a brilliantly bright and fruity chardonnay. The color is a nice, buttery gold – exactly what I look for in a good chard. This wine has notes of crisp green apple and apricot on the nose and palate. It has a somewhat creamy taste and finishes with acidity and minerality, which was actually quite refreshing for the 100+ degree weather we were experiencing this weekend. With a 14.8% alcohol content, this is a pretty hefty chardonnay. This wine paired great with a salmon and prawns dinner. The balance between the grilled seafood and the fresh, fruity notes was quite the delicacy. I highly recommend this as a staple summer wine!
