It all started with making a good home for the grapes.

This place held promise for much more than the rugged fields and scattered stands of fir trees foretold. After careful planning and site preparation, the professionals were brought in to evaluate what grapes would grow best here on Pete’s Mountain: three acres of Chardonnay & 19 acres of Pinot Noir. The rows were plotted to maximize the use of the sun’s movement across the sky. The soil was turned, and stakes were set in place. Acre after acre, the vines were planted and strung up to take what nature had for them in this new home. One never quite knows what will happen. We waited. We were delighted to have harvested 1,575 cases of fruit in 2018, enough to produce our Estate Pinot Noir Rosé, Stainless Chardonnay, and Barrel Select Chardonnay.
