Our winery's contemporary architecture is a bold statement capturing the fresh characteristics of our wines. Stepping into our tasting room, you're immediately drawn to a bar of concrete overlooking a sweeping vista of East Bay - a view beyond compare. We specialize in producing small lots of red, white and sparkling wine from the highest quality grapes: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Riesling.
