Wines, Waves & Soul

Fueled by passion. Classic varieties grown to express local character, all wrapped in our relaxed Sonoma-style warm hospitality.

We primarily grow Syrah, Malbec and Merlot in our estate vineyard on Westside road, in the heart of the Russian River Valley appellation.  The rest of our fruit comes from great relationships we developed over the past 29 years with our friends and neighbors.

This photo of a wave breaking at a spot called MAVERICKS in northern California was taken by our good friend Doug Acton.  We call this "Chrome Wave" and it is on the label of our top-of-the line Cabernet Sauvignon.  In winemaking and surfing, you are working with forces of nature that are constantly changing. The fun is when you are there at the right instant to capture something very, very special.
