Winery and Winemaking Philosophy Each of our wines has its own remarkable way of expressing the hillsides and mountain tops it is from. We believe that great wines are a reflection of their place – the combination of soil, topography, microclimate and people – and we believe that quality grapes handled with minimal processing have the potential to produce the greatest wines. Craig Becker, our winemaker feels that blending is the key to crafting the most complete, balanced wine and enhancing the inherent characteristics of each variety. The ultimate goal is the creation of a rich, seamless wine.
