My Rhône-centric philosophy is the essence of each wine I produce: Rhône varietals, blends, sparkling, and single-vineyard Zinfandels.
So, what is this Rhône-centric philosophy, that I speak of? It starts with my true passion for wines that come from both the Northern and Southern Rhône Valley, and other parts of the South of France.
It's rooted in my curiosity and understanding a terroir's minerality and what it gives the wine. It's immersing myself into the viticulture of each appellation and my winemaking practices.
It's the culmination of the knowledge I have gained from my research, my overindulgence of wine and food of this region, my life-long friendships with Rhône winemakers, and my continuous experimentation both in the vineyard and in the cellar that drives my Rhône-centric style. For me, it is very much a zen thing.

Our Flagship Wine, Special Offer
Sustainably Farmed Rockpile Vineyard - These aromatics don’t soar from the glass; they pull you into the glass. It’s deep and saturated in every way, from the black and red fruits to the crème de cassis, to the roasted earth and wild herbs.

Sustainably Farmed Vineyard
PROFOUND is the best way to describe this deeply colored wine. Black / red raspberry notes intermingle with blackberry / cassis, a touch of Worchestershire and soy sauce notes and reminds me of the Northern Rhone.
