Winemaking

Because we spend so much time searching for the perfect fruit, our winemaker, Paul Hobbs, takes great care in producing our Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.

All of our vineyards are cultivated to Paul’s specifications, with fruit dropped periodically throughout the growing season to ensure even ripeness and good concentration.

Paul picks our grapes only when they are at their peak and harvests on a row-by-row basis depending on when each row is ripe. He then hand-sorts the grapes on sorting tables, removing any unripe clusters.

Our wines are aged in French oak barrels, primarily new and none more than one year old. Paul never fines or filters and uses only native yeast fermentation.
