| | We believe that the wine should vary from year to year, reflecting the conditions of the vines during the season. All of our wines (except our blend) are single-varietal single-vineyard wines with no other wines blended with them.
These vintages are in the bottle now:
2008 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir - Silver Medal!- Regan vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the climate is just right for very long hang-time.
- 2008 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay - Silver Medal!
- Blend of Chardonnay from the Quenneville and Regan vineyards
2007 Carneros Merlot - Silver Medal!Jim Moon vineyards in Carneros, where the heat is right for a Merlot with a deep structure. - 2008 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir - Bronze Medal
Ed Quenneville vineyard at 1800 foot elevation above a protected valley in the mountains. -

These vintages are still in the barrel, aging:- 2009 Carneros Merlot
- Jim Moon vineyards in Carneros, where the heat is right for a Merlot with a deep structure.
- 2009 Carneros Late-Harvest Merlot
- Jim Moon held some grapes well into raisin for us, and some clusters had the "noble rot".
- 2009 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay
- This is the last of Eddie Quenneville's Chardonnay. He has sold his vineyard and is moving on.
- 2009 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
- This is the last of Eddie Quenneville's Pinot Noir. He has sold his vineyard and is moving on.
- 2008 Carneros Merlot
- Jim Moon's fine grape work.
- 2008 Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot
- From John Bargetto's excellent Regan vineyard
- 2008 "Bordeaux"* Blend
- A blend of Cabernet, Merlot, & Malbec
- 2004 Zinfandel Port*
- It's not too sweet and has wonderful raisin tastes characteristic of a late harvest Zinfandel.
* - We can't call it Port anymore, since the US and the EU have a treaty in place now to protect named regions and styles, like Port, Champagne, Bordeaux, Chianti, etc. I guess we'll be calling our wine made in the "Port-style" something boring like desert wine.
