"the creation of great wines comes from the unique interaction between the place, the vintage and the human factor"

With all of the accolades Sta. Rita Hills is earning I was thrilled to be able to work with this renowned site. This well-designed, tightly spaced vineyard is planted on rolling hillsides with the new Dijon clones.

Proprietor Kathy Joseph’s enthusiasm and joie de vivre combined with the cool hand of experienced viticulturist Jeff Newton creates a unique team of energies. I look forward to exploring the full potential of this cool climate region in future vintages.
