It all started with a group of friends sharing a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon around a picnic table on the hillsides of Howell Mountain. From what could have been a passing moment of inspiration has resulted in 30 years of small-production wine making.  We focus on some of the most celebrated regions and vineyards in Napa Valley, Sonoma County and the Sta. Rita Hills. For for the past decade and half, we have been led by Winemaker Kari Auringe. We are driven to share wines that are elegant, full of life and are representative of the growing sites she has selected.
