“to grow grapes and produce wines in the mountains, you have to be a lot more dedicated than you would be somewhere else. most of us do it because we love it.”
- Ken Burnap, 1979

Mountain wines have a long history, and their excellence is no modern phenomenon. Yet, few choose to rise to the challenge.

This love and dedication to mountain wines is at the heart of everything we do. We seek the best from the summits of the Santa Cruz Mountains, to the slopes of Sonoma Mountain, to the ridgelines of Mendocino and beyond.

A true departure from the valley floor wines that flood the shelves, we plant our flag at the summit, not in the sand, capturing the rugged beauty and relentless spirit of the mountains, with organically grown, naturally fermented, handcrafted wines of peak vibrancy and verve.

Let’s raise the standard and drink up.
