Vineyards

"Bad wine can be made from good grapes, but great wine can not be made from bad ones".  Great wine is 70% diligent vineyard work and 30% vision of what one wants the end-product to be.

Santa Rita Hills, Alisos Canyon, and the hills east of Santa Maria - These are areas of incredible beauty and - when it comes to growing grapes - a degree of magic.  Call it terroir or whatever, there is arguably more potential in these areas than anywhere else in California!  This is why we're here.
