Our boutique vineyard was installed in 2006. We have 200 vines on our property, all Syrah, and produce 50 to 75 cases per year. Our company consists of my wife and myself. I do all the vineyard maintenance myself during the growing season. My wife and I share the pruning in January. For harvest, we bring in a crew and they do the whole vineyard in a couple of hours.
We process at a custom crush winery in Camarillo. The winemaker is instructed to keep the alcohol down to under 13% in the style of the lighter Rhone Valley Syrah. Our price point to the local restaurants is typically 20.00 per 750 ml bottle and we are in a number of the finer restaurants in the Los Angeles area.
Our 2010 won a Gold Medal at the San Francisco Chronicle Domestic Competition and a Silver at the San Francisco Chronicle International Competition. All of our vintages win an award each time we enter a competition.
