Wines Reflective of the San Luis Obispo Coast. Our family farmed estate vineyards harness the terroir of the SLO Coast, allowing our wines to express unique authenticity. Wines with Burgundian style with California influence: approachable minerality, delicate fruit, and refreshing energy. As the pioneering Pinot Noir producer in the Arroyo Grande Valley, we made our first wine in 1986 and planted our first vineyard in 1982. We are inspired by Burgundy for its unwavering dedication to wine that perfectly expresses place and time. Our location within California’s SLO Coast region imparts a beautiful mix of gentle sunshine and cool weather ideally suited for Pinot Noir.
