About

Our winemaking mission is to produce the most delectable ultra-premium wines that
reflect the character of the best grapes of the Central Coast. Our selection includes
Rhone and Bordeaux style blends, as well as single varietal wines. When you enjoy
our selection, you will be taken on a journey from the Santa Clara Valley all the
way down to Arroyo Grande, passing by the Santa Lucia Highlands and
Edna Valley on the way. The celebrated French winemaker Christian Roguenant
and winemaker Sofia Fedotova carefully work in unison to coax and polish
the unique flavors that characterize the story of the vineyard the wine tells.

Wines Produced

Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnays, Pinot Noir, Rosé, Sparkling, red and white blends
