RED WINE COLLECTIONS
Red Wine Collections
California vineyards. European inspiration. Wines made for the table.
A Red Wine for Every Table
Our red wines begin in exceptional Northern California vineyards.
They take their inspiration from the great wine traditions of Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhône, Australia and Spain.
We are not trying to make French, Australian or Spanish wine in California.
We are making distinctly California wines—bright with fruit, shaped by their vineyards and guided by styles that have earned their place at the table.
Some are graceful. Some are generous. A few arrive with their elbows out.
Every one is made to be opened, poured and enjoyed with food.
