Item Description

95% of what is in the wine bottle comes from the vineyard; the vineyard is where winemaking really takes place. A winemaker can get in the way or elicit nuance, but they cannot make a great wine from poor fruit. As our winemaker, Greg Lafollette, expressed years ago in our Estate vineyard, "This wine starts with great bones".

We use a variety of farming techniques in an attempt to accomplish this across all our vineyards. We choose specific clones, site location and flavor profiles. We consistently walk the rows, paying attention to the subtleties of the vines, the architecture of the clusters, the diurnal fluctuation of the leaves, the texture and flavor development of the seeds.

Farming grapes is both science and art. Our role is to shepherd the fruit to its greatest expression using guidance and inspiration of both.
