Our La Reyna vineyard Pinot Noir is known as “The Queen”, showcasing “Highly impressive fruit and complexity on the nose presage additional engaging characteristics on the palate, all of which beautifully carry for lingering length.” —Arizona Daily Sun “By the bottle: Wines for Mother’s Day“

Shift Toward Sustainability
Winemaker Lisa Amaroli was recently featured in Marin Living, highlighting “How Local Wineries are Shifting Toward Sustainability.” Biodynamic farming is the highest level of organic farming, viewing the entire property as one ecosystem. “This type of farming is based on biodiversity of animals, plants, insects and even bacteria that work together. “It’s about balance, not eradication,” says Amaroli. Using homeopathic teas, composting, cover crops and animals that live on the estate “is not mysterious, it’s natural,” she says.”
Sustainability in Sonoma
We are honored to be featured in the New Zealand Herald “USA Holidays: Meet the Kiwi winemaker working in Sonoma, California’s Sustainable wine region.” Chris Benziger was featured in the article, explaining our approach of caring for the land, resulting in authentic, site-expressive wines. “It allows the vines to grow naturally deep into the soils and pick up the true terroir of the site. This leads to wines that are more expressive and unique. They will have four distinct fingerprints that will give that wine its soul. Those are the fingerprints of the vineyard, the vintage, the varietal, and the winemaker.”
