“Every single vineyard block is crushed, vinted and aged separately.”

Director of Winegrowing

Chris Smith

As the liaison between the winery and our grower partners, Chris ensures that these grapes meet demanding quality specifications and characteristics.

Barrel Fermented

Our Chardonnay is barrel fermented in new oak barrels, with the lees stirred by hand once a month.

Quality for Generations

Our winemakers use artisanal techniques that are replicated in very few wineries of our size. From hand stirring our Chardonnay to aging our red wines in small oak barrels, we know this approach helps each wine reach its full potential.

Our family sources grapes from some of the best vineyards across the state. These grapes complement those from our estate vineyards in Clarksburg, Lodi and the Sierra Foothills. To ensure the continued quality of our wines year over year, we work throughout the season with our grower partners. A rating system has been put in place to evaluate each and every vineyard lot and provide feedback to our family of growers.

Every single block of grapes that enters our winery is vinted separately, allowing us to preserve its unique character and monitor the quality of each vineyard. It is this practice that allows us to produce consistently high-quality wines year after year that we’re proud to put our name on.

Our barrel room holds over 95,000 small, traditional oak barrels where we age every one of our red wines. Our Chardonnay is barrel fermented in new oak barrels, with the lees stirred by hand at least once a month.
